Lambeth Council is implementing a new strategy to bring empty homes requiring significant investment back into use.
Lambeth Council is implementing a new strategy to address empty homes across the borough, with the Housing Scrutiny Sub-Committee discussing the council's approach in July 2026. This includes 'long cycle voids', which are properties requiring substantial investment to bring them back into use.
These projects involve repairing and re-letting empty homes that need significant investment, such as kitchen or bathroom replacements, and are often removed from the normal allocations process. The council aims to bring more of these properties back into use for residents.
