Hounslow to Conduct an Empty Homes Review Once Again

Home > What's New > Local Government Latest News > Hounslow to Conduct an Empty Homes Review Once Again

As it is officially Empty Homes Week 2022, we are pleased to announce that the London Borough of Hounslow is once again going to be conducting an Empty Homes Review with us. Following a successful review last year we found and reduced their long term empties by a massive 29%.

We are now looking forward to working in partnership with them once again this year.

How Do We Conduct an Empty Homes Review?

Our approach uses expert data matching technology, a network of specialist inspectors, a dedicated call centre team and experienced revenue practitioners to exhaustively review and validate every long term empty property. This has ensured our LTE removal rate has continued to be over three times the national average.

The results we generate are available to view in real-time through our online customer portal along with all the evidence available as part of the review.

Even if your in-house team are focused on delivering this review internally our service is designed to ensure there is no duplicated effort or cost involved.

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.
