Decision details

The Cabinet Member for Procurement, Assets and Shared Services considered a proposal to declare a number of properties surplus to Cheshire East Council’s requirements and to place them on the open market for disposal.

The properties had all been declared surplus by the former Service occupiers. All Cheshire East Services had been asked to confirm if there was an internal re-use for any of the properties; there were none. The properties were therefore surplus to Cheshire East Council requirements.

Each Property had been incurring grounds maintenance, insurance and term maintenance costs and, in some instances, intermittent security costs all of which would be saved upon disposal.

Each property would produce a capital receipt if sold on the open market, subject to market demand and the current property market downturn. The estimated value of each property was listed in the report.

RESOLVED

That the properties referred to in the report be declared surplus to the requirements of Cheshire East Council and placed on the open market for disposal on terms and conditions to be determined by the Borough Solicitor and Assets Manager.
