In support of the government's initiative to tackle the shortfall in national housing and to ensure our council tax data is accurate, Wigan Council is undertaking a review of our empty residential properties.
For more information on council tax and empty homes see:
The review is being managed on behalf of Wigan Council by NEC Software Solutions Ltd.
If you have received a letter about this, please complete your declaration online by using the web-link and entering the code contained in your letter. You can also call NEC on 01942 577143 or return a paper copy of your declaration to the postal address contained in the letter.
Telephone lines are open 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday.
I have received a visit from an officer in relation to the Empty Property review. Is this genuine?
Members of NEC Software Solutions and Reigate and Banstead Council, along with Oxford City Council have been authorised to conduct visits as part of this empty homes review. They will visit as part of the normal review process or because a review letter has not been responded to. They will carry appropriate identification so always ask to see this to verify their identity.
