Class I – Probate granted on properties which were eligible for Class F exemption
Qualification Criteria
If the owner of a property has passed away and the property was or has become empty as a result (which fell within a class F exemption), the property will be excepted from receiving an empty property premium charge for 12 months after the grant of probate/letters of administration.
If after 12 months the property remains empty the applicable premium charge will apply. However, you may be able to apply for a different exception to follow on from, or replace this probate exception. For example, marketing the property for sale, marketing the property for let or if the property is undergoing repairs.
Details of premium charges can be found below:
What we will need
