Reasons:
1.This property, due to its location and type would command a
higher than average market value (Acquisitions (Right to Buy: Buy
Back) and Disposals Policy 2024 item 7.3).
2.The property is in need of work to remove any Health and Safety
rating system hazards or asbestos containing materials that require
a high level of ongoing management in conjunction with extensive
works to comply with Decent Homes provision i.e rewire, heating
upgrade and void repairs. The main cost of the works to be
undertaken is the underpinning as detailed in the Schedule of works
report tab QUOTE.
3.This property, was built in 1953 due to the age of the property
and location is expected to command a high average market value if
sold and DBC will be unable to recover the associated costs over
the 30 year Business Plan (Acquisitions (Right to Buy: Buy Back)
and Disposals Policy 2024 item 7.3)
