The number of empty properties in England have fallen to
a 10-year low, new figures show. Communities Secretary Eric Pickles welcomed
the news as “a significant achievement”. The latest data shows that as of
October 2013, there were 635,127 empty homes across the country, down by around
a fifth since 2009 and their lowest level since 2004. But Mr Pickles especially
welcomed the dramatic drop in the numbers of long-term vacant properties, which
fell by around a third over the past 4 years, from 316,251 in 2009 to 216,050
in 2013. Read more on the Gov UK website.
