Empty homes interest free loans


If you're a private landlord, or a prospective buyer looking for a property to move into, you might qualify for an interest free loan to help you move in.

You may find yourself at risk of being homeless for many reasons. Do not wait until you become homeless tell us you are at risk of becoming homeless.

If you need somewhere to sleep tonight Contact Homeless (freephone number).

There is some funding available to help you bring a long term empty residential property in council tax band A or B back into use. A long term empty home is one that has been empty for at least six months.

If you're interested in applying for a loan please Contact Private Sector Housing Advice Line for further information and an application form.
