Empty Property: Local Government
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what information her Department holds on the number of local authority-owned homes that are empty in each local authority in England.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook
The number of local authority owned homes that are empty in each local authority in England can be found in Live Table 615 here on vacant dwellings in England at local authority district level. Figures in this table show vacant dwellings owned by local authorities within each local authority area in England.
The latest published statistics refer to vacant dwellings owned by local authorities in England on 31 March 2024, including homes earmarked for sale or demolition, or awaiting or undergoing major repairs.
