Recovering grant when company goes into receivership
Many thanks in advance for any help received on this. We are being challenged by solicitors acting for a bank following a company that owned an empty property went into receivership. That company had received an empty property grant from us.
If your authority gives Empty Property Grants, do you;
1) issue a Land Charge entry when an empty property grant is awarded which is binding on all future owners?
2) do you register it as a local land charge? Do you register it with Land Registry?
3) did you seek legal opinion on this prior to implementing the policy?
4) have you ever successfully recovered after a breach of conditions?
