Rates if house is vacant?

Does anyone know the situation regarding paying rates if the house is vacant? I'm buying a house but won't actually be moving into it until after christmas
I've tried looking at http://www.lpsni.gov.uk/index.htm but can't see any info regarding this. I was under the impression you didn't have to pay rates if the house wasn't furnished/noone living in it but this may have been before the changes in recent years

As long as the property is vacant of furniture you are not liable to pay any rates
So your grand for the next while, there is a consultation regarding paying vacant rates on domestic properties (like commercial properties) but I suppose it will be a few years before anything is decided
