As I understand it (or think I understand it), the council has to buy up so many properties in order to get funding for this work, now I though I read somewhere that they get money of sorts or funding from ether Central Government or Elevate or even Europe(not just sure which) but for that they need to buy and demolish X number of houses or they lose that money.
I feel for the former owners of the those homes as the compensation (the money offered for the property) would not meet the market value of any new homes that are build or maybe not even be enough to buy a reasonable terraced house elsewhere with todays house prices even though the housing market has slumped just recently.
As for electrics and pluming yes bad landlards but as said earlier Scrotes for tenents who in there so called infernate wisdom just 'relieve' the house of its copper water tank or central heating system or electric cable or indeed else they can get their grubby thieving mitts on, like I said before just ship 'em out, get shut of 'em ,don't think twice about it , ask no questions.
