New LHAs Powers
12 July 2006
It seems, as reported in some newspapers today, that local councils can now seize privately-owned homes which have stood empty for 6 months.
The ‘Local Housing Authorities’ have been instructed by Mr Prescott’s department to ‘grab’ these properties under new powers drawn up by his department.
The report is available for download here
We strongly advise anyone who has, or may have in the future, a property empty for six months or more, to download this report and study it carefully. The report is available in PDF™ format and is 45 pages long. It could save you a lot of heartache later on by being aware of these new Local Housing Authority powers.
We welcome your comments on this or any other property-related issues.
