Millions of Pounds in New Homes Bonus Payment Confirmed

The councils that worked alongside Capacitygrid throughout last year are set to receive a staggering £55,323,294 between them in New Homes Bonus payments during April.

This will come as a welcome bonus to those council’s, especially considering the extremely hard year experienced once again by everyone across the country. This will help all those councils with some much needed additional funding that they can then be allocated on various projects throughout the new financial year.

How Can You Get New Homes Bonus for Your Council?

Conducting an Empty Homes Review from Capacitygrid will add to any NHB payments that you will be eligible for this year:

  • Market leading service – on average we will remove 23% of properties from your list of long-term empty properties
  • Risk and Reward pricing – you will only pay for successful removals
  • Fully manager service – very limited impact on council resources
  • Partnership approach – we can work alongside your internal resource to add to their success and maximise NHB payments in 2022
  • Simple procurement – the service is available quickly and simply via the Government’s G Cloud 12 Framework

Eastleigh Borough Council has worked with Liberata for a number of years who undertake the council's empty home reviews, and I must say, their service exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, they demonstrated professionalism, efficiency, and a genuine commitment to addressing this critical issue in our community. Thanks to Liberata, the council has been able to maximise our empty home bonus year on year. This positive impact on our community cannot be overstated.

The RV Finder service from Liberata has really helped us ensure that our data is as accurate as possible and, when the VOA has processed the outstanding cases, I fully expect to see more than £1,000,000 of additional RV. The “risk and reward” model works well and the Council only has to pay for their success and the service is something that we will use on a regular basis.

Liberata has been empowered to create a seamless integration with technology to digitally transform the Revenues and Benefits service whilst trying to protect local jobs. The joint strategy has helped to deliver innovative solutions that have exceeded expectations, whilst providing savings to the authority. This surge in digital engagement has helped deliver strong year one outturn with electronic billing and the technology will enable us to show improvements in the benefits speed of processing and in Council Tax processing of moves, discounts and exemptions.
