Empty property exception criteria

Major repair work or structural alterations

Empty properties requiring or undergoing major repairs or structural alterations have a 12 month limit.

You will need to confirm the date work started and upload photographs to confirm the work being done.

The exception runs from the date the work commenced. If this was prior to 1 April 2025 then you are entitled to the remaining 12 months from the date work commenced, not 12 months from 1 April 2025. For example, if the work commenced on 1 November 2024, then the exception will run from 1 April to 31 October 2025. If the work stared prior to 1 April 2024 then there is no exception to be awarded.
