Whats the deal with council tax if the house isnt lived in? Hearing different stories about you pay nothing, pay half or pay it all
anyone have any input?

You should get it free mate, when I bought mine I spent about 4 months gutting it and putting the bedroom and bathroom back together, just rang my local council and told them and they told me I could have it free for six months and if I hadn't moved in after that time then I'd get a reduced rate.
I was cheeky though and lived in it for 2 months before telling them....£200 straight in the old sky rocket

You still have to pay council tax.
But you could claim a 50% empty homes discount for a house that been unfurnished for more than six months.
Disgusting really imo.

iirc you can claim something like 3 to 4 months free if the buildings empty, you need to supply proof though.
