Threatened CPO

Once repaired and looked after it can't be CPO'd just because no one lives there.
As long as there is a proven housing need within the area, Compulsory Purchase Orders (CPOs) can be used where:-
owners refuse to take action to bring a property back into use,
where an owner cannot be traced or
where a property has been empty for a long time and is causing a nuisance or is a danger to the public.
It can be CPO'd if no one is living there - if there is a housing need.0 -
Squatting in houses is illegal.
OP all boyfriend has to do is show he is happy to undertake repairs to the property, keep it tidy, do the garden etc.
Once repaired and looked after it can't be CPO'd just because no one lives there.
But squatters don't care about that.It's nothing , not nothink.0 -
"compensation - the owner is compensated for the loss of the property where appropriate (although this is not always the case)"
That's Nice. How about the Gov build their own homes rather than stealing other people property.
The quickest and safest way seems to be to move back in, if it can't legally be rented out.
Seems it was never really a problem to me, renovations and selling can easily take over 6 months.
