I'm still confused by this thread , presumably both buildings are owned by someone , and both buildings have a taxable value (rates/council tax whatever you want to call it ) and these taxes are payable to HBC . So my question is .....if the taxes are being paid , how can the buildings be classed as abondoned ? or , if the taxes are not being paid and money is due , why hasn't HBC put a claim in for a lien to take possesion of the 'abandoned' buildings ?
Another qustion , who (persons or company) was granted planning permission to convert one of the buildings into flats , surely some proof ownership must have been presented during the application ,and HBC must have done a search ino back taxes at this time .
Just curious
