Onoff Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Saw this article about the Deans South estate in West Lothian. Seemingly 240 homes condemned for demolition due to improper construction with a concrete called Siporex. Have to wonder what prompted this, cracks? Did one collapse. https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/people/this-west-lothian-ghost-town-was-earmarked-for-demolition-15-years-ago-but-some-families-still-live-there-1-5001139 Now if they had earmarked them for destruction for being seriously awful to look at then fair enough! ? Or is it just a nice spot someone wants? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Split over the who development it would be peanuts. I think part of the problem is that some are still rented from the council, so when they say they have paid off their mortgage, what they mean is that they have paid off the 25% (or whatever) they owed on the joint ownership. It would also be a bit strange to think that a house on a derelict housing estate is worth the same as one on a thriving one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
