Hi, We are looking to purchase a property that’s been empty since June 2023. At the moment, we’re still at the early stages and properly looking to receive the keys some time in Winter if everything goes smoothly. By the way, this house needs EVERYTHING doing, both internal and external! If we strip the wallpapers, tidy the garden and other internal works ourselves to get it ready for the contractors and builders for June 2025 which is when the house will be emptied for 2 years. Are we still entitled to the reduced VAT of 5%? We will not be living in the house as it’s inhabitable. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you Leanne
