#EmptyHomes are on the rise. So why aren't they being used to solve the #HousingShortage?

by Gerry Georgieva, 8/19/2025

Excerpt: "Not all empty homes are in the dire state of repair that Corina's once was. But roughly 265,000 of them in England have been vacant for longer than six months and are classified by the government as long-term empty (#LTE). (Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have different housing policies, as housing is a devolved matter in the #UK.)

"Fixing these would also have a significant effect on the communities around them, as long-term empty properties can attract anti-social behaviour and in some cases reduce an area's value."

Good, does it start at 15% of the yearly #rentalIncome and go up to 50%. That ought to flush homes into people's possession (rather than the ownership of #privateEquity such as BlackStones etc)

An #emptyHomes policy might come next but they are more complex. We understand #localCouncil's are better positioned to deal with empty homes issues.
