REPAIR AND LEASING SCHEME
A Repair and Leasing Scheme has been developed to bring vacant properties into social housing use. The scheme is aimed at owners of vacant properties who cannot afford the repairs needed to bring their property up to the standard for renting.
If your vacant property is suitable for social housing, the cost of necessary repairs is met up-front by the local authority or an approved housing body (AHB). You then lease the property to the local authority or AHB, who will make it available for social housing. You will get an agreed lease payment from the local authority or AHB and the value of the repairs will be gradually offset against this lease payment over a specified period.
For more information visit:
or contact your local housing authority.
