Stage 14: Possession and legal title taken by Compulsory Purchase Order

jmgdev2

At the end of the period specified in the General Vesting Declaration (stage 12), the property is owned by the Council. Whoever occupies it would therefore be trespassing unless they have signed a tenancy or licence agreement to remain. If they are trespassing, they can be removed by an accelerated court sheriff process similar to court appointed bailiffs.
