Appendix 4 Private Sector Empty Homes Returns The tables below relate to private properties brought back into use with help from PKC Empty Homes Service. These have been taken directly from the yearly returns local authorities need to submit to the Empty Homes Partnership, which is operated by Shelter Scotland on behalf of the Scottish Government. The varying format they are presented in is due to the manner in which the information has been supplied in the respective years. Scottish Government guidance on drafting the SHIP requires us to provide this information within the SHIP. 2024/25 Empty Homes Returns No. of properties Length of time empty 4 Less than a year 15 1-2 years 28 2-5 years 11 5-10 years 7 10+ years 28 Unknown No. of properties Route back into use 13 Let at an affordable rent 40 Owner occupier 30 Let privately 10 Unknown 2023/24 Empty Homes Returns No. of properties Length of time empty 3 Less than a year 11 1-2 years 21 2-5 years 3 5-10 years 14 10+ years 28 Unknown No. of properties Route back into use 10 Let through private sector leasing scheme 10 Let at an affordable rent 25 Owner occupier 30 Let privately 5 Sold through estate agent 2022/23 Empty Homes Returns No. of properties Length of time empty 8 Less than a year 26 1-2 years
