Empty private properties
The enforced sales procedure guide
Manchester has a strong reputation for leading the battle against housing blight.
Our unique step-by-step guide shows other local councils how to use legal powers to force the sale of a problem empty home.
The 43 page document comes with follow-up advice and guidance to get you going. It lists what to consider before taking action, describes the council's role, the responsibilities of the council's solicitor, and how to value and sell the empty property.
Case studies spell out the procedure in practice, and there are samples of notices and official correspondence. A simple flowchart gives an at-a-glance overview of the procedure.

The guide is available for £300, including follow-up advice and guidance.
