Empty homes
Our team can work with owners of empty homes to find solutions to help bring them back into use. There is no council tax discount for an empty property.
If a property has been empty for a long period of time you may be charged a higher percentage of council tax.
| Number of years empty | Percentage |
|---|---|
| 1 year | 200% |
| 5 years | 300% |
| 10 years | 400% |
Help bringing a property back into use
We can help to find a buyer for the property, or we can advise owners on how to bring an empty property back into use. There are loans and grant schemes available to help fund (or contribute towards) refurbishing an empty property. The schemes are dependent on funding from the Council.
