To buy or lease Council property
Requests to buy, lease or use our properties on a short term or shared basis are welcomed. The procedure differs depending on the duration and the nature of the organisation. For example, Community groups & sports clubs (other than professional clubs) may benefit from grant subsidy or other support.
The Council must ensure any disposals represent Best Value, which may mean we are not able to sell the property directly to you and may involve marketing the property more widely and setting a closing date.
Any offer to buy or lease the property may require formal consultation with local Councillors.
The Council may also consult with other interested, or potentially interested parties, including owners of neighbouring properties. Such an approach helps us demonstrate that we are securing the best consideration as required in our disposals.
Your application does not grant you any rights to acquire the property, nor place any obligation on the Council to sell to you or any other party.
