DISCOUNTS AND EXCEMPTIONS
New regulations introduced by all councils mean that from the 1st April, 2013 the class C excemption allowed where a property is empty and unfurnished will end.
All councils have replaced this with new charges which are broadly in line with each other and which we have highlighted below.
For the full description of the changes you need to go onto the relevant councils website.
