Caerphilly County Borough Council is urging owners of empty homes, who wish to live in their property, to apply for a grant to help with renovations.

Through the Welsh Government National Empty Home Grant Programme, grants of up to £25,000 are available to renovate empty properties to make them safe to live in and improve their energy efficiency.

The grant is available for owner occupiers to renovate homes that have been empty for at least 12 months.

To find out more about the support available to bring empty homes back into beneficial use in the Caerphilly borough, call the Council’s dedicated team on 01443 811378, email [email protected] or visit www.caerphillynouseempty.co.uk
