Empty and second homes pay council tax multipliers. There are also rules to stop you turning it into fake never rented airbnb and other tricks. The most recent attempt to crack down is centred around making 2nd home a planning change of use.
In some pressure spots other things are also being done, like requiring the property can only be the primary residence and cannot be let as a restrictive covenant placed on some new builds
