<p>The Government Property Unit in the Cabinet Office is working with departments
to reduce vacant space across the estate.</p><p>Since May 2010, we have reduced our
Estate by 2 million square metres, saving over £625 million in running costs and generating
£1.4 billion in capital receipts. On 31st March 2014 only 2.4% (204,327 sq m) of space
was vacant across the mandated Civil Estate, well below the reported national average
of 8.8%.</p><p>Information on the number of vacant houses and flats owned by departments
or their agencies is not held centrally.</p>
