Ashfield District Council: Private Property Acquisition

Private Property Acquisition

In some circumstances, the Council may be in a position where it has to acquire a house which it does not own.

Such circumstances are rare, but include such courses of action as Clearance Areas where a number of properties are being demolished, or compulsory purchase of empty houses where the owner cannot be traced.

The Council may purchase properties by agreement or compulsorily, if necessary.

As previously stated, this course of action is very rare and anyone potentially affected is contacted and spoken to individually.

Empty Homes

Ashfield District Council is committed to bringing empty homes back into use. For further information please see "Empty Properties".
