There are 476 privately-owned homes across the district that have been empty for more than six months. Any remaining funds from the sale will go to the seller. Money from the sale of the home will cover the costs of the councilвЂ™s clear-up, selling costs and any debts on the property. NWLDC stepped in to tidy-up the home after the owner ignored a number of notices following complaints from neighbours about flooding and vermin. The building has been purchased by a builder. The semi-detached cottage was sold at auction in April, with completion in May 2022. North West Leicestershire District Council (NWLDC) forced the sale of 11 School Lane, Newton Burgoland, which had been empty for around 14 years, following several attempts to encourage the homeowner to tidy it up, bring it back into use or sell it.
