I'm selling the house my parents have willed to me, it is 200 miles away so not exactly easy to get to on a regular basis. The council will give a 6 month exemption on the council tax if unfurnished. Just how empty does it need to be? I don't want to put off potential buyers though by having it looking abandoned, would like to have a bit of a homely feel to it.

Have you had a look at the Council's web site? Or asked them?

Nothing on web site, I'll ring them.

If you're implying it's part of an estate, there may well be an exemption for that.

Her's Glasgow's:

It's different in Scotland for some reason-like a few other things!
