re: Elderly people in the UK being told their houses are too big for them & they need to sell

I wonder how many in this thread actually read the article.

Yeah, just reading the letter made it seem like it was targeted at long vacant or blighted properties - not houses they deemed too big for people.

But…. On the flip side…

I suppose a controlling entity with ulterior motives could stretch the definition of blight in an effort to force a sale of some kind. Similar to the way local governments have blurred the definition of imminent domain in an order to gain control of a property.


However, I didn’t see anything in the letter or article that alluded to such shenanigans.
