RELEVANT PREVIOUS DECISIONS Cabinet Resources Committee, 2 November 2009 (Decision item 12) – resolved that Oakhill Park lodge be declared surplus to the Council’s requirements; that the occupiers be decanted into suitable alternative accommodation; that the Council’s freehold interest in the property be offered for sale by non-binding tender on the open market; and that the sale be completed to the highest bidder, subject to the price exceeding £370,000. 2. CORPORATE PRIORITIES AND POLICY CONSIDERATIONS 2.1 In order to improve efficiency the Council continually reviews the use of council assets so as to reduce the cost of accommodation year on year and to obtain best consideration for any surplus assets to maximise funds for capital investment and/or the repayment of capital debt. This proposal does this by producing a lump sum for the Council which can be set against other priorities. 3. RISK MANAGEMENT ISSUES 3.1 As set out in the attached public and exempt reports considered by the Cabinet Resources Committee at its meeting on of 2 November 2009. 4. EQUALITIES AND DIVERSITY ISSUES 4.1 The Council is committed to improving the quality of life and wider participation for all in the economic, educational, cultural, social and community life of the Borough. 4.2 It is not considered that the variation of the Cabinet Resources Committee’s decision of 2 November 2009 gives rise to any issues under the Council’s Equalities or Diversity policies and does not compromise the Council in meeting its statutory equalities duties.. 5. USE OF RESOURCES IMPLICATIONS (Finance, Procurement, Performance & Value for money, Staffing, IT, Property, Sustainability) 5.1 As set out in the attached public and exempt reports considered by the Cabinet Resources Committee at its meeting on of 2 November 2009. 6. LEGAL ISSUES 6.1 Local authorities are given powers under Section 123 of the Local Government Act 1972 (as amended) to dispose of land held by them in any manner they wish. The only constraint is that, except with the consent of the Secretary of State, a disposal must be for the best consideration that can reasonably be obtained. 7. CONSTITUTIONAL POWERS 7.1 Council Constitution, Part 3, Responsibility for Functions – Section 3 – Executive Functions - paragraph 3.2 sets out the functions allocated to individual Cabinet Members and provides that “The Leader may discharge any function of the Executive”. 7.2 Constitution, Part 4, Council Procedure Rules, Management of Real Estate, Property and Land, paragraph 19 – All recommendations for approval of the sale price and other terms of disposal must contain a statement from the Chief Valuer or, if appointed, from suitably qualified external agents that the Council will obtain the best price which can reasonably be obtained or that there is approval through the General Consent or that the consent of Central Government has been obtained or will be sought to enable the disposal of the property to proceed as recommended. 8. BACKGROUND INFORMATION 8.1 As set out in the attached public and exempt reports considered by the Cabinet Resources Committee at its meeting on of 2 November 2009. 8.2 A variation of the decision of the Cabinet Resources Committee is required for the following reason: 8.2.1 The report to the Cabinet Resources Committee on 2 November 2009 concerned the full extent of the Oakhill Park Lodge property. In order to permit the refurbishment of the adjacent depot a substantial area of the gardens at the subject property were held back from the disposal and the property was offered for sale with a guide price of £330,000. 8.2.2 The resulting highest tender obtained was at £335,999. However, after a House Buyers Survey was undertaken on behalf of the highest tenderer, they reduced their offer to £310,000. 8.2.3 The second highest tender was for £331,950 but as they were parents of the highest tenderer they were in essence one and the same bidders. 8.2.4 The third highest tender was for £275,000. This tenderer increased their offer to £310,000 in February 2012, subject to the sale of their house. 8.2.5 Although there are now two tenders at the same value, the first bidder is a cash buyer who has already undertaken a survey. The second bidders’ offer is contingent on the sale of their existing house. Therefore as the first bidder is likely to complete on an earlier date, they are recommended for approval. 8.2.6 The subject sale at £310,000 complies with the s.123 duty to obtain the best price which can be obtained. 9. LIST OF BACKGROUND PAPERS 9.1 None 10. DECISION OF THE CABINET MEMBER I/We authorise the following action: 10.1 In variation of the decision of the Cabinet Resources Committee at its meeting on 2 November 2009, to proceed with the sale of the Council’s freehold interest in Oakhill Park Lodge, as shown edged red on drawing no.2416/2 to Mrs Maria Bortield for a consideration of £310,000.00 Signed Cabinet Member for Resources & Performance Date 30 March 2012 AGENDA ITEM: Page nos. Meeting Cabinet Resources Committee Date 2 November 2009 Subject Sale of former park lodge(s) at (1) Victoria Park, Finchley and (2) Oakhill Park, Barnet Report of Deputy Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Resources Summary To approve the decanting and disposal of (1) Victoria Park lodge and (2) Oakhill Park lodge, which have been used for temporary accommodation and as a result of the hostel review are now considered surplus to the council’s requirements Officer Contributors Judith Ellis, Valuation Manager - Property Services Status (public or exempt) Public (with a separate exempt report) Wards affected Brunswick Park and West Finchley Enclosures Location plans attached For decision by Cabinet Resources Committee Function of Executive Reason for urgency / Not applicable exemption from call-in (if appropriate) Contact for further information: Judith Ellis, Valuation Manager. [email protected], 020 8359 7364. 1. RECOMMENDATIONS 1.1 That Victoria Park lodge and Oakhill Park lodge are declared surplus to the Council’s requirements. 1.2 That the occupiers are decanted into suitable alternative accommodation and the Council’s freehold interest in the properties offered for sale by non binding tender on the open market, with the sales being completed to the highest bidders, subject to the price exceeding that detailed in the exempt report. 2. RELEVANT PREVIOUS DECISIONS 2.1 None. 3. CORPORATE PRIORITIES AND POLICY CONSIDERATIONS 3.1 The Corporate Plan commits the Council to a priority of “More Choice, Better Value” by delivering value for money across Council services through better use of resources including assets, staff and technology. This proposal meets this priority by achieving a capital receipt for a currently unused and surplus asset. 4 RISK MANAGEMENT ISSUES 4.1 Both properties require significant expenditure to bring them up to Health and Safety standards and decent homes standard.
