We have reduced the average time a home is empty from 34 days to 25 days

Here at Arawak Walton we are committed to providing homes for people who need them, and when one of our tenants leaves we do our best to check the property and make it ready for the next person or family as quickly as possible.  We also know that empty properties can attract unwanted attention, such as vandalism, and that you don’t want to live next to an empty house.  Your Housing Services Team have been working hard at reducing the time properties are empty.  This has involved changes to our internal processes and the way that we contact people on our waiting list, and since April 2016 we have reduced the average time a home is empty from 34 days to 25 days.

Our challenge is to continue to reduce this and our work in this area will contribute to our aim of building communities where you are happy to live.
