What exactly defines a residential property for NPPR?

[FlowerPower]

I have recently returned from holiday in Ireland where I heard repeated talk about the NPPR charge. My parents live in the UK however started to build a house in Ireland in the 80's but the house was never completed. At this stage it is a basic shell with no running water, electricity disconnected for a number of years, no fitted kitchen and no fitted bathroom. The house is in a bad state at the moment after effectively being abandoned for the last 15years. No body has ever lived in the property and at the current time it is even difficult to gain access to the house due to the overgrowth of brambles around the outside. Would this property qualify for the NPPR charge? I have been reading various websites today and I keep coming across the terminology "residential property" and I am of the belief that a house without a kitchen, bathroom, running water and electricity cannot be classed as a residential property. Am I correct?

In the case you have described above there is absolutely nothing to be concerned about. No liability for NPPR whatsoever.

I "think" you are ok, but the sheriff of Nottingham has a big belly for taxes...
Perhaps let a few cows into it to make their poo to make it look worse
