Community right to bid

Nominate property that you believe furthers the social interests or social wellbeing of the local community.

What happens if I own the property?

You'll be notified if your property is nominated for listing, and if the nomination has been successful.

If the council decides that your property should be included in the list of assets of community value, you have the right to ask for that decision to be reviewed.

Read our listing review guidance notes.

In some cases, the property owner does not need to comply, for example, if disposing of a property:

  • as a gift
  • containing a business that uses the property and it is a going concern
  • within a family or a partnership or between trustees or a trust or between companies in a group
  • in the execution of a will or arising from various legal proceedings
  • that is part of a larger estate, part of which is not listed, but where the whole estate is owned by the same person and is a single lot of land
  • with less than 25 years leasehold
