What it is for

Central Bedfordshire Council is planning to increase the number of property disposals as part of a strategic approach to modernising the property portfolio through reinvestment in more modern, warmer and energy efficient homes.

The valuation and other appropriate advice concerning the proposed sale, must be in writing to enable the Council to consider the sales approach. The visit will normally be accompanied with a Council Officer but may be unaccompanied using a key safe. • Instruction - where the valuation is agreed/approved, the sale of the property will be confirmed through instruction. • Selling - once instructed, we require the property to be advertised online via Rightmove, Zoopla, and everywhere else buyers look.
