If your home is empty and unfurnished and needs, or is undergoing major repairs (which involve structural alterations), you may be able to get money off your bill.
You’ll need to provide us with some details such as photos, estimates, and invoices before the 50% discount can be awarded for up to twelve months.
There are exceptions to the empty homes premium
Properties undergoing:
- major repairs; or
- structural alterations
will not have to pay the premium for up to 12 months.
If a property is sold or let during the 12-month period, the exception will end.
