Villa Park Redevelopment

You’d hope that’s us snapping them up.

I wonder if there's a way to find out?

You can check on the Land Registry online site snd look ip the title register, house by house.

The title register usually includes:

the title number
who owns the property
how much the property was last sold for
whether the property has a mortgage
details of any ‘restrictive covenants’ - promises to not do certain things with the land, like not building on a particular area
details of any ‘easements’ - the rights of one piece of land over another, like a right of way

There's a fee involved for each search.

As I said earlier the ones being sold in Holte Road are the wrong ones. We’d need 62-78 and they haven’t sold for years. And none in McGregor Close.

Yep, I think there would be a way. I was just blissfully unaware of it. Ta.

There must be wealthy Heroes for whom £3 x 15 is no inconvenience at all.

The North Stand is slow going, from what I saw on Thurs, not much done to the actual stand.

Considering we have a hard deadline on this I am surprised by how slow this is progressing. I thought, at least, all the bits that need demolishing  would be gone

Those utility boxes must be a nightmare to sort, rats gnawing at cables since 1993.

Pretty sure we said work would start on the extended stand in the summer. In the meantime clearing up the area around it and completi JG the Warehouse.

Presumably when the proper work starts they will shut off the whole area for some time!

All that’s happening at the moment is peripheral work with the generator and power station etc

That’s cheap for a house. I may buy a few

Guessing here, but there likely to be another activity which is dictating the critical path of the programme (steel lead times / utility connections) rather than the actual demolition.  Sometimes it is prudent to hold back on the this so the building remains secure and water tight. I believe there's been work in the ground for new structure and investigations where the new and old connect.  This should de-risk the programme significantly.

From what I've seen the work they are about to do in the Holte corners are a bigger dogs dinner than what HDE provided in the first place.

Well, yes. As an expansion of the current dog’s dinners, one would hope they’d be bigger.

As they have gone for the ‘easier’ route for the North Stand, it’s left them short of the 50k for the Euros, so these lovely additions just to get the capacity over the line.
Hopefully, longer term, the Witton will be replaced and better designs are put in place.
