Empty Homes (Void) Standards
What is a Void?
A void is the name we give to a property that is empty between one tenancy ending and another starting.
Our aim is to ensure we have a clear and consistent standard, so that voids are presented for re-letting to a reasonable level and specification.
We aim to carry out all work to void properties before a tenant takes up occupation. In some circumstances we may have to carry out repairs or improvements after the tenant moves in.
The Basis for the Void Standard
The Void Standard has been set to meet the needs of our customers, but will be subject to annual budget constraints. It has been compiled with the following in mind:
- To satisfy our customers;
- To meet the Housing Corporation’s Standards;
- To meet the Scheme Development Standards;
- To comply with the latest Building Regulations;
- To comply with the relevant Voids Policy;
- To meet the Magna Design Brief;
- We will review the standard and performance targets each year.
