Description

Each year YHN manages approximately 2500 voids. Every void property is subject to various checks, remedial works and cleaning to ensure its suitability for the next tenant. It is vital that the utilities supply is not interrupted and any historic debt does not preclude a new tenant from accessing gas and electricity supplies.
With this in mind, YHN would like to procure an energy supplier to take over the supply of gas and electricity when a property becomes void
