Abstract

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. These works are carried out by a combination of external contractors, and the Council's in-house maintenance team.

• are mainly of traditional construction but a number of other types of construction exist.

---
