•Why are we building homes when so many are standing empty?
74% Informative
There are just short of 700,000 empty and unfurnished homes in England , according to the most recent government figures.
Of those, 261,471 are classed as âlong-term empty, meaning no-one has lived there for six months or more.
Even finding out who owns properties that have been standing empty for years can be a challenge.
Shelter produced a 10 -city plan to rapidly convert 10,500 empty homes in three years .
Issue was rarely mentioned during the general election campaign, with only Green Party putting it in manifesto.
So far, there are few signs Labour government regards it as a priority.
Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government says it is committed to building 1.5 million homes.
