Verfallene Immobilien: Wie viele leerstehende Häuser und Grundstücke hat Ihre Gemeinde letztes Jahr über CPO gekauft?

Great to see some progress, but councils could be doing far more. A lot of them bought one or none last year that’s nowhere near enough. And imagine the impact if the Derelict Sites Levy was actually collected. Proper enforcement would fund real action instead of leaving dereliction sitting there year after year.

Hopefully they’ll do something with them quickly once they acquire them

That one in Columcille Street in Limerick City. Such mixed feelings about it. On the one hand, great that something will be done with it. On the other hand, it’s a crying shame that any money was handed over for it let alone public money, especially when so many were built by local authorities in the first place.

Derelict, destroyed property should be seen to have zero value and be seized by the local authorities without a cent having to paid in consideration or in any legal/admin costs.

They’re already barely getting by when it comes to financing and now it looks like they’re the buyer of last resort for these shitboxes.
