What is being bought
South Cambridgeshire District Council (SCDC) has a commitment to 'Bring Empty Homes Back into Use' as swiftly as possible. Where we are unable to locate individuals to bring a property back into use, or where the property owner is deceased and we require commencement of Probate (by next of kin, executors or legal representatives) to sell or rent the property, SCDC would like to engage with a Probate Research/Estate Administration company to locate or contact interested parties before enforcement options are applied. SCDC are putting these services in place, however these are concessionary services on behalf of the beneficiaries of any search
