The reason for the exemption is I hope fairly obvious. But I detect in your question the possibility that it might not apply in this case. If the owner is a portfolio landlord who has left property empty that is a different situation from a person who’s own home is empty because they are away receiving care. The exemption is for the later scenario not the former. But to answer your question; no, no such exemption applies to compulsory purchase. Although I would urge you to apply the same thinking as you would for an EDMO. Don’t forget compulsory purchase needs secretary of state approval, and Ruth Kelly to her credit is taking a great deal of interest in these cases at the moment. As Liverpool are finding this is not a secretary of state to be fobbed off with technicalities.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06347022688547349069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23339144.post-1154511915027516002006-08-02T10:45:00.000+01:002006-08-02T10:45:00.000+01:00Not a comment so much as a query.

But is there any similar exemption from CPO for such an owner? Advice please! (And no, this is not your standard little old lady I am pursuing. She is in full possession of all her mental faculties. She has a history of owning & abandoning empty property such that condition has deteriorated to a point where some of her property had to be demolished.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
