Are there laws about not being able to demolish old homes?
In the case of grade listed, they are not allowed to tear them down, otherwise as far as I am aware, they can.
A pub not so far from me was demolished a few years ago, I was speccing it up for and explore then it was suddenly gone. Turns out, it was a listed building and there has been an order to rebuild it. Nothing has happened as yet!
Ah, interesting. It seems like things are a little different over there than they are here. I wonder what the person who won the auction will do with the property.
