Conwy Council are now participating in the National Empty Homes Grant


Summary (optional)
start content
Welsh Government have developed this scheme for properties which have been empty for 12 months or longer and this must be evidenced by council tax records.  It is only available for owners who intend to live in the property themselves on completion of renovation work and a condition of the Grant is that they must live there for 5 years.

Grants will be amounts between £1,000 and £25,000 and can only be used for repair works identified by the Local Authority as being necessary (at the time of the initial visit) to make the property safe and secure, and for energy efficiency improvement works (but not only for energy efficiency works).

Owner must also contribute to the cost of the works. Grants will be secured by a Legal Charge with Land Registry and any Lender with a Charge already on the property will therefore need to give their consent for a further Charge to be taken. The amount of equity in the property at the time of registering the Charge, will need to be taken into account.
