Decisions:
The
Housing Development Officer gave a presentation to the Committee
recommending the purchase of a residential property, once the
developer had completed works on the property.
The
Committee raised concerns about issues of water ingress at the
property that had been highlighted to members during the planning
process. The Housing Development Officer thanked the Committee for
the information and confirmed that she would ensure a specialist
surveyor was employed to thoroughly assess the situation before
completion. The Regeneration and Economic Development Manager
assured the Committee that as the deal being considered was that
the property would only be handed over at completion, the Council
would ensure any water ingress issues were resolved before the
property was purchased.
RESOLVED:
1.
That the purchase price set out in paragraph 1.1 is
agreed.
2.
That the Director of Finance and Business
Improvement is granted delegated authority to conclude negotiations
with the owner.
3.
That the Head of Mid Kent Legal Services is
authorised to complete the purchase on the terms as agreed by the
Director of Finance & Business Improvement.
4.
That the Head of Mid Kent Legal Services is
authorised to complete the contract documentation required for the
appointments of Clerk of Works on the terms as agreed by the
Director of Finance and Business Improvement.
