For landlords and property owners, an empty property is not just a missed opportunity; it is a growing cost. Known in the industry as a void property, any residential or commercial unit sitting vacant can quietly drain your income, erode property value, and lead to further deterioration if not properly managed.
What Makes Void Properties So Expensive?
When a property is unoccupied, the income stops but the expenses don’t. Landlords may still be responsible for:
- Council tax on empty homes
- Utility standing charges
- Insurance premiums (which often increase for empty units)
- Ongoing maintenance and security
- Potential vandalism or squatters
- Deterioration of fittings and fixtures due to lack of use
And the longer a property remains void, the more it can cost to bring it back to lettable condition. From deep cleans to pest control and repairs, delays only increase the work needed to get it market-ready again.
