We aim to manage empty/void properties and carry out all necessary repairs and maintenance work required to re-let the home as quickly as possible, so that we can:
- make good quality homes available for letting as soon as practical to meet demand for affordable rented housing in the borough
- comply with legislation with regards to gas, electric, asbestos and fire regulations
- ensure homes are let to a safe and secure standard and to the agreed quality and decent standard
- minimise rent loss so we can continue to invest this income into improving your home
- minimise the costs associated with managing voids. Empty/void properties can be targets for vandalism, fly-tipping and squatting, which have a negative impact on the community and can result in increased costs in repairing damage
