About The Webinar

Description of topics:

In this useful and informative webinar hosted by Nick Beetham of Fraser and Fraser, Adam Cliff, Policy Lead of the Empty Homes Network, will discuss:

The release of the 2024 Council Taxbase statistics, the national picture in terms of empty homes numbers, and why it is important to explore the wider definitions of empty homes in order to justify the argument for additional resources. Using examples of where empty homes may be classed differently for council tax purposes, this discussion aims to inform empty homes practitioners of how their work can positively affect statistics, and making the case for lasting change.
