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% |
