Aberdeen has the highest number of vacant houses in Scotland.
Housing in Aberdeen worth nearly £500 million has been lying empty for years, shocking new figures have revealed.
Research by the insurance firm Admiral uncovered statistics showing the Granite City has the highest rate of unoccupied homes in Scotland, with almost 3,000 houses classed as long-term vacant.
Aberdeen tops the rankings for the number of properties which have been empty for between two and five years, with 2,037, and between five and nine years with 813 – far more than Scotland’s other major cities.
SBC member Mark Rowley says he was embarrassed that the Borders didn t have an empty homes officer A NEW council role will be created in the Borders to help solve the costly problem of vacant properties in the region. Members of Scottish Borders Council’s (SBC) executive committee approved the use of £40,000 to fund an empty homes officer on Tuesday (April 20). According to SBC papers, there are more than 1,500 ‘long term’ empty properties across the Borders, with council leader Shona Haslam describing the introduction of the new role as “incredibly important”. There are 22 local authorities in Scotland that have an empty homes officer, the papers state.
