44 Cobham Road N22 has been empty for 15 years since the owner died. The beneficiaries (all in Greece) have still not obtained Probate. The house has been squatted on several occasions and is squatted currently. 29 Fairfield Road N8 is a detached studio abandonned by the owner at least 15 years ago. The roof has collapsed and it is in a dangerous state. Due to the large amount of money which needs to be spent to bring these proeprties back into use, they are sold on rather than being kept for Council accommodation. There is a budget of £1m set aside for the purchase of CPO properties. This money is used to purchase CPO properties one at a time and the money obtained from the sale of the property goes back into the same budget to be used to continue the CPO programme.
