Liverpool City Council is inviting applications from people
interested in buying a house from the Council for a nominal price of £1.
Applicants will go through an evaluation and selection process and those who
are successful will be offered a property. In this pilot there are 20 houses
available. The successful applicants
will then be given an opportunity to improve the property within a prescribed
timescale to the quality and specification set out by the Council. The
assessment over whether this standard has been achieved will be at the sole
discretion of the Council. If the assessment confirms full compliance with
requirements then the property will be sold to the successful applicant for £1.
Application forms for the scheme are available after 4,000 people registered
interest. This is two days after Stoke-on-Trent started its application for a similar
scheme for which it had already received 600 expressions of interest.
