The National Empty Homes Loans Fund

A new National Empty Homes Loans Fund - to be officially launched later this year - will offer low-interest loans to owners of vacant dwellings in a bid to help them bring the properties back into use.  It will be jointly run by independent charity, Empty Homes, and a building society - and has been made possible by a grant from the CLG’s Empty Homes Community Grants Programme.  Although details are not yet finalised, low interest loans are likely to be available up to £10,000 per home. Larger loans may also be available at a higher interest rate. The fund aims to return more than 300 empty homes to use in its first three years.  Read more on the Empty Homes website.
