The number of long-term vacant
dwellings in Kent has declined,
producing a 42% reduction since 2008.
Latest council tax records show there are
a total of 5,462 long-term vacant dwellings
in Kent and Medway (4,458 in Kent and
1,004 in the Medway Council area).
The award winning NUE initiative celebrated
its 10th Anniversary recently and is firmly
established as the UK’s longest-running empty
property initiative.
Delivered by Kent County Council (KCC)
in partnership with all 12 district councils
in the County, NUE aims to substantially
increase the numbers of long-term
empty homes returned to use as quality
housing through a range of interventions,
including financial assistance to owners
by the way of secured short term loans
which are recycled.
