The keys to the first £1 home sold in Liverpool have been
handed over to its new owners. Liverpool Council offered the chance to buy 20
vacant houses for the small sum if the new owners pledged to refurbish them and
stay for at least five years. The property, on Cairns Street, Granby, was
handed over to Jayalal Madde by Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson. More than 1,000
people applied for the scheme and 10 applicants have so far been successful.
The pilot scheme is part of plans to bring 179 empty homes back into use in the
Granby, Picton and Arnside Road areas of the city. Read more on the Liverpool Echo website.
