Golden Triangle Partnership
Empty Property Strategy
The Council has appointed an Empty Property Officer who is
responsible for bringing properties that have been standing empty
for more than six months back into use.
Money is available to help owners to do work to properties in
order to bring them back into a liveable state.
One of the conditions of accepting money from the Council is
that the Landlord must agree to lease the property to a housing
association for approximately eight years (depending on how
much the grant is). The property will then be
used for social housing.
