Notes: 

This important document is the first part of the NAEPP Empty Homes Strategy Toolkit.  It is in the form of an Excel workbook containing a number of related worksheets. The two key components are:

  • an analysis of national council tax data since 2004 when the new discount arrangements were introduced
  • recommended categories for analysing council tax data to provide a strategic overview of empty homes in an area

The analysis of council tax data nationally - showing for example the % of overall dwelling numbers in each category - allows local figures to be compared with national figures.

The key table will be that for overall dwelling stock and empties.  But there is also an analysis of exempt properties.  HSSA categories are taken into account with the analysis of exempt properties and the HSSA definitions are provided.

Please do not distribute this further. It is for paying members of NAEPP only.
