What we do

Community Buyouts

Many of our communities face social and economic issues, which, if not tackled effectively will result in their steady decline into poverty and social exclusion. A strategy of community regeneration – including community buyouts and all the activities identified in the wider action agenda – will create successful and sustainable communities.

While tackling deprivation is critical for communities it is not the only driver of community regeneration. New legislation permits communities to take control of their destinies and they are grabbing the opportunity and doing just that! This can mean simply buying out their land and housing. Or, in some instances, they are buying out forested areas or similar and giving new twists to previous usages.

At TC Young we are immersed in such issues both through our work on wider action and in advising on community buyouts. With our track record in social housing, charities and in the strategic development of such organisations, we are ideally placed to advise anyone or any organisation with community regeneration on its agenda. Our legal skills cover all aspects of buyouts from land and property issues to contracts and funding.
