A Yorkshire council is planning to use its new homes bonus to bring as many as 3,000 empty homes back into use. In a programme aimed at private landlords, Wakefield Council has written to the owners of 3,000 homes that have been empty for at least six months, offering help in selling or finding housing association partners to lease their properties out under the affordable homes programme. It will use the new homes bonus to provide loans to help homeowners whose properties are in administration following a death. Wakefield hopes to use the new homes bonus to offer loans to homeowners to help them put properties on the market. Read more on Inside Housing.
