CPO Order

The Ayatolla

A family member of mine was recently served with a CPO from the local council.

The CPO is for their entire home, which the council need to buy as part of a large development.

Just a quick query for anyone who has experienced this.

From reading online about CPO's and consulting with solicitors etc, I realise the local council can seize the property after serving a "notice to treat" and "notice of entry".

Does this mean the home owners are forced out of their home and left homeless as a result? What normally happens, are the council required to find alternative accommodation until compensation is reached?

Has there been incidents in the past where local councils have physically removed home owners from the homes prior to compensation being paid and knocked down the property?

Generally compensation iz not paid until long after the property is vacated. The council are obliged to house homeless people if they cannot house themselves.
I know a perdon who got a mobile home while they awaited compensation.

Your family member needs legal advice. CPO's are tricky and need to be handled by a professional who knows what they are doing.

Doe your family member own the property in full?

Yes, mortgage has been paid in full on the property. Since the early 90's.

Currently being handled by a solicitor but I was just mainly querying whether the local councils have track records for booting home owners (old age pensioners in this case) out of their home.
