BBC News - Camden plans council tax hike on empty second homes

A north London council has revealed it plans to charge people 150% council tax for leaving their second homes empty for more than two years.

Labour-run Camden Council said the move would tackle the one in 16 homes left vacant by owners.

Second home owners would also lose a 10% council tax discount on habitable homes left empty for six months.
