Made to move house

[flyingteessider]

I found out today my house is part of the cleveland regeneration area they have offerd me £60.000 for my house ,were will i buy a house for that, Im thinking about buying abit of land and putting a couple of statics on it does anybody no how difficuilt this might be ,Or even better has any one done this or no any one who has ,The worst thing is ive just raced my 1st season broke all the birds and now have to start again,How difficuilt will it be to break aload of yearlings ,I ALLSO FLY MY STOCK BIRDS OUT will they be even harder to break or would you not bother, your input will be most helpful,gary

[Guest chrisss]

i am busy breaking some yearlings to their loft [same garden so not too bad]trouble is the next store cat has got interested,and i have still got 30 plus yb to do yet :o :o :B,it took me 36 hours to get the yearlings back in after the pigging thing attacked 4 times [whilst the "proud owner just stood there]

[BLACK W F]

Gary  i broke mine the first time i moved them  but any of the race team you fancy put away as i lost a lot of good birds that had raced well when started racing them at new place

[Guest bigda]

if it dont bother you none to ir yer veiws mate  make a apointment with  3-4 lawyers  and ask them  this will not cost you for the first visit  but make sure they  know the right men for this  after see 4 of them then think of your plan iof attack write it all down and dont be afraid to tell the  lawyer  what you want  if he cant get you  anything go to another and run it by him these guys only want a  easy ride   if yer daft enought to let them away with it

[Guest bigda]

if your made to move  get the council to get you sorted  as to keep racing pigeons and  don't let up  before you move  because if you move  before they sort you  you get nowt  

[Guest IB]

Agree with Bigda, you need to get a good legal firm, property experts, to negotiate on your behalf, is £60K their first offer? Also interested in how long you've been in the house, as if it was recently, your lawyer should have conducted a 'developments likely to affect the property' enquiry with local Council. Check too, this is only purchase price - think there is a compensation payment on top of that?

 

Will be moving home in the next couple of years, giving myself plenty time to look for something suitable as I'll be taking birds too, and obviously breaking them. First rule must be before buying have your lawyer check that there are no restrictions on keeping pigeons, and if I was forced to move, like you, I'd be having the lead Developer and Council do all this for me.

when they carried out regeneration work localy they moved people from there houses, knocked them down, rebuilt them and the first offer on them was made to the original occupents, infact 1 actualy left his loft in the garden while they rebuilt the house and then moved back in!

[mark croker]

A fella by mine wont move out coz they wont give him a good enough offer, his is the only house standing and has been for about 2 years, he just wont go

[BLACK W F]

YES THE THING IS YOU CAN SCREW THEM AS THEY CANT CUT OFF ELECT OR WATER THEY TOTALLY SCREWED AND WITH ALL THE PROCESSES OF APEAL ECT YOU COULD COST THEM A FORTUNE  

AS THEY WILL BE SHAFTED HEALTH AND SAFETY ECT ALL COMES INTO PLAY

Im thinking about buying abit of land and putting a couple of statics on it does anybody no how difficuilt this might be ,

Fight it all the way mate and you might get a new House and compensation mate take it all the way

[Guest grizzler]

I cannot see any house these days being valued at £60,000, what are the prices of similar houses in your area, that would be our argument, at least that plus moving costs. Try citizens advice first  :-/ Believe me you don't want to go down the static caravan route as they are ice boxes in the winter, tried that done that wore the thermals when we were renovating a house. We cannot get repossessed flats for that kind of money :-/

Good luck and hope you get it sorted

Feel sorry for you because it can't be much fun having your home taken away from you, the sad thing is that even if you stand up for what you believe is right your up against it from the start.   Take the 60k they offered you, that might actually be more than generous?   Under the law, an authority compulsorily purchasing your home is obliged to pay you no more than market value, plus a small grant for the upheaval caused.   Market value means whatever your house would have been worth had the development never been proposed, not its "ransom value".

 

This latter rule can cause homeowners considerable distress if they live in an area where house prices are falling. An example that I found while researching for you was with several areas of inner-city Manchester and Salford where the price of a terraced house had at one stage fallen over a period of 10 years from £30,000 to £5,000.  The CPO would be based on that and there is nothing you can do about it.    You can do what Alun suggested and cause nuisance but again the muppets who sit on wooden benches won't care a jot and if you were subject to a court order its usually the developer who wins unless there's really strong objection by a large number and not just one.  

 

The thing is that none of us are lawyers so asking our advice might do you more harm than good, I did ask my Son who's legally qualified but even he said that this is down to a specialist field and that your first port of call should be a fixed fee appointment with a good solicitor.  Don't take it for granted that you'll get the first appointment free as though, this is not compulsory for solicitors to do although most do offer a fixed fee appointment which costs just a few quid.

 

Good luck.

Don't take the first offer and as said above, get some legal advice.  As for the statics on land, a friend of mine has done the same out of choice.  Sold his house and moved on to a piece of land, he absolutely loves it.

[Fair Play]

The best thing is to get an independant evaluation for your house this to balance the district evaluators offer, have seen it all before councils love to get things on the cheap while we have to pay through the nose but watch out for the CPO as you could be deemed  as standing in the way of progress if you have received a "Resonable" offer.

[Guest spin cycle]

good luck to you....they sound like a load of 'carpetbaggers'.......sanitising everything in the name of regeneration. whatever happened to promoting 'diversity'. things like this make me cross.
