abandoned house - law

[Squark]

did you read the thread? see Borich's post

I read some of it

We had a house like this (that backed onto ours). It was a shame to see it deteriorate. It was only inhabited by foxes and pigeons. We (and, as it turned out - many of our neighbours) got in touch with the local council. They came round to view it from our garden (as it appeared OK from the front). They obviously put the owners under some kind of pressure to do something as it was quickly put on the market and sold. It was later developed into a lovely home (although with extra floors so is now much larger than originally).

Don't feel guilty about owners having to sell. It ended up being sold at the height of the market so they will have done quite nicely out of it.

thanks. It's on my agenda for next week to start causing some trouble about this! The info in the thread has been a big help.
