The Scottish Empty Homes Partnership reveals the financial impact.

The Scottish Empty Homes Partnership (SEHP) has revealed the financial impact that the country's 34,000 empty homes have on our communities.

On average, each occupied household contributes around £13,000 to their local communities, and empty homes means this money is not making its way to local businesses.

The SEHP, run by charity Shelter and funded by the Scottish Government, aims to highlight these loses to both home-owners and local councils to encourage housing people who are currently unable to afford homes.
