Developers behind 'unsafe and unsecure' buildings blighting Old Trafford could soon face enforceable action
A major assessment of ‘unsafe, unfinished and empty’ property developments within Old Trafford is to be undertaken by Trafford Council.
Units at Empress Mill, which is situated just minutes away from Old Trafford stadium, had sold for an average price of around £85,000 when the development was first announced back in 2011. But leaseholders told the M.E.N two years ago the units they had invested in were inhabitable. The auction of the buildings came after the development's numerous owners fell into liquidation. The sold land will be subject to long leasehold interests, with more than half of the 124 existing leaseholders believed to have now surrendered their leases.
The council will also discuss an incomplete fire escape and stairwell with substandard cladding at Aura Court on Percy Street, alongside poor construction at a development on Browning Street.
