Richardson Law
Improvement for Sale (IFS)
Housing solicitors in Leeds - Richardson & Co. Solicitors LLP
Richardson & Co LLP are a specialist law firm with considerable experience in social housing conveyancing.
The aim of this scheme is to bring longer term vacant properties that are adversely affecting residential areas back into use.
The Improvement for Sale Scheme involves a Registered Social Landlord buying by negotiation, the properties from the current owners. The properties are then fully renovated to Decent Homes Standard. Potential work includes replacement of windows and doors, cleaning and pointing, rewiring, new kitchen and bathroom fittings, the installation of central heating and decorating.
The properties are then sold. In the first instance, they are offered to owner occupiers that are affected by clearance. If they remain unsold they are then sold on the open market for owner occupation.
