What the Council Charges an Empty Flat in Wiltshire
Wiltshire is the exception on both halves of this, and a director who has read about a neighbouring council will have the wrong answer. It charges no second homes premium at all: its own guidance says the council has not introduced one and that the second home premium classes are not being applied. And its empty premium starts at two years rather than the one year Swindon, Dorset and Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole all use, then runs at 200 per cent from five years and 300 from ten. A furnished flat standing empty in a Wiltshire block is therefore treated very differently from the same flat forty miles away, which is worth establishing before anyone budgets for it.
