WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR INFRASTRUCTURE
BY DEPUTY M. TADIER OF ST. BRELADE
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 10th JULY 2018
Question
Will the Minister advise how many States-owned properties (under Jersey Property Holdings) are currently vacant; state which properties they are and how long they have been vacant; and advise what percentage of the overall portfolio this represents?
Answer
Out of a total of 880 properties, there are 20 publicly owned properties (2.2%) that are currently vacant. The term "property" includes sites that contains a number of individual building units. The total of 880 properties comprises of freehold, flying freehold and leasehold ownership and, in some instances, form parts of sites.
This is a snapshot' of the current vacancies. This changes from time to time as buildings become void and are re-let, refurbished or sold.
Of the 20 currently vacant properties/sites:-
Four of those are void properties that are temporarily vacant awaiting new tenants following the vacation of the previous tenant.
Eight of the properties are vacant, or have partial temporary alternative use, pending future redevelopment.
Five of the properties have been identified for disposal. One of which is due to pass through the Royal Court imminently. Tenders have just been received on one other site.
The remaining three properties require extensive refurbishment prior to any re-letting; one is nearing completion and works on the other two are in hand.
Details of the vacant properties are not made public due to the potential for unauthorised access. The Department will provide the Deputy with this information in confidence should he wish.
