Furnished unoccupied Properties (second homes)

If there are no residents and the property is furnished the bill is charged as a second home at 100%.

A 50% job related discount may be available if you own a second property that you do not live in because you are required to live elsewhere for your job (e.g a school caretaker that may be required to live in on-site accommodation or a Pub Manager who is required to live on the premises). You may also receive 50% job related discount in respect of the property you are required to live in for employment purposes.
