Who can apply for an Empty Homes Grant?
The grant will be in the form of a Home Improvement Grant and available to properties that have been empty for at least 12 months.
How much grant will I receive?
A grant maximum of £15,000
How to apply
If you think your property might be eligible for an Empty Homes Grant and you can apply online.
Alternatively, you can call Private Sector Housing on 01495 235216 or email privatesectorhousing@caerphilly.gov.uk.
Following your enquiry, an Environmental Health Officer will visit your property and decide whether it would qualify for a grant of this kind.
You will be contacted in writing to confirm the decision of the officer within several days of this visit, however it is usual that the officer will advise you verbally at the time whether the application is likely to be successful or not.
