Anyone watch the C4 programme?
What a complete mess by Liverpool Council. They have all these dilapidated empty houses, streets of them, that decide to offer at a £1 a go though the big flaw here is that many of them aren't theirs to sell. Seems 5 years back they bought them by compulsory order via central Govt loans with legal restrictions that they be demolished for future deveopment. Some folks £40k spent on the refit to discover this demolition restriction on their property. The increasingly nervous Housing Officer bundled out in front of cameras to bluff it out.
Break ins, poor take up. It doesn't look good.
