The Council has a housing stock of approximately 10,500 properties across the Borough, of which approximately 600 properties are void each year. Vacant properties may require refurbishment, general maintenance, repair and or improvements to return them for re-letting in line with Swindon's Re-let Standard. The works can range from minor repairs to major capital works requiring full property renovation, depending on the age of the property and condition upon return. The contract will also include refurbishment works to properties purchased by Swindon Borough Council on the open market to add to the Council's housing stock, to ensure these meet the necessary standards to enable letting by the Council.
