Grants
Grants are given by the council to bring properties up to a reasonable standard. They are generally discretionary, which means that the council decides on how grants should be targeted. Haringey is targeting some grants to bring empty properties back into use.
Empty property grants
There are conditions attached these grants. For example, the property must have been empty for six months or a year, depending on its location. The grant will cover up to 50% of the eligible works cost and the owner must agree to take a council nominated person as a tenant for five years.
If you want further information on empty property grants please contact the Empty Property Officer on 020 8489 4214, by email to empty.properties@haringey.gov.uk or by writing to the EPO at the Housing Supply Group, Apex House, 820 Seven Sisters Road, London, N15 5PQ.
Other grants
