Councils are to be handed powers to seize homes if they are empty for 6 months or more

Councils will be able to seize homes with an Empty Dwelling Management Order. It will leave the property privately owned, but hand authorities the power to take control and rent it out for up to seven years, without you being able to object

Authorities may also be shielded from the costs associated with seizing control, although this is still being weighed up

Councils already have the power to seize empty homes but the vacant period is currently 2 years. With the slash to 6 months it begs the question what happens to empty properties in the probate process following death
