What Is an Empty Home?

An Empty Home is a residential property that has been unoccupied for 6 months or longer. These properties are often inherited, second homes, or in disrepair. Leaving a home empty can be costly—through high council tax charges and loss of market value due to poor maintenance.
Local councils can now charge up to 300% Council Tax on empty properties.

Fixing leaky taps, replacing toilet seats, radiators, and plumbing services

Smoke and Heat Alarm fitted

Keysafe installation

Fence replacements

Electrical work, carpentry, painting & decorating

Installing key clamp railings, grab rails, and other accessibility aids

If our Handyperson cannot do the job as too big for him then we can put a contractor in touch with you.

We’re also expanding our network of trusted partners to support our growing portfolio of managed properties and accessibility solutions. If you’re a contractor who shares our commitment to quality, we’d love to hear from you.
