in Water bills
does anyone know if you get reduced water charges on an empty property. My mum has been in a home since October and I’m trying to sort everything out regarding her now, empty home.

Most companies will close the account so no one is billed, as long as you are not using ANY water, i.e. not even for loo flushes/cups of tea when you check on the house.

No use asking here - go read the Water company's website or ask them about the situation?
Get a water meter installed? No water use = standing charge only. New owners (if/when you sell the house) will have to have one anyway.
When the in-Laws died their water co were very good and 'allowed' up to 10 cubic metres use with no charge at all from the date of death to sale of the house. It was already metered, though.

Your comment doesn't help the OP in any way - unless you were meaning to warn them that a meter might not be fitted on request at the moment? But as you say not all are not fitting them...
