West Berkshire runs an empty-home scheme for landlords and owner-occupiers bringing long-term empty properties back into use. Each scheme below links to the council's own page where you can verify eligibility and apply.
Owners of empty homes in West Berkshire. Two products: a flexible refurbishment loan for habitable use, or a low-cost loan tied to providing the property as affordable housing. Apply via the Healthy and Sustainable Homes service.
A property is classed as "long-term empty" once it has been unoccupied and substantially unfurnished for a qualifying period. The premium is charged on top of the standard council tax bill.
Flexible loan to bring empty properties back to habitable use, plus a separate low-cost loan for affordable-housing use. Amounts not published on the public landing page; eligibility via the Healthy and Sustainable Homes service.
