Empty Properties

We are committed to tackling the problem of empty properties in the region and support property owners to help bring homes back into use.

A property that has been empty for over 2 years could qualify for a reduction in VAT to 5% on renovation works to bring the property back into use. Properties empty for over 10 years could qualify for a reduction in VAT to 0% on renovation works.

You can report a property that has been empty for over six-months by contacting This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. on 01246 242424.

We are eager to speak to owners of empty properties and may be able to offer advice and assistance, if you own an empty property we would love to hear from you.

For further information you can view the Council's Empty Properties Strategy.
