Overview
The complainant (Mr C) raised a number of concerns about Glasgow City Council (the Council)'s handling of a Statutory Notice issued in relation to the property he owns.
Specific complaints and conclusions
The complaints which have been investigated are that:
- (a) by failing to issue a Statutory Notice in 1995, the Council concealed the condition of Mr C's property (not upheld);
- (b) the decision not to issue a Statutory Notice in 1995 should have been taken by the full Council (not upheld);
- (c) the Council failed to monitor the condition of Mr C's property between 1995 and 2004 (not upheld);
- (d) the Property Enquiry Certificate (PEC) obtained by Mr C's solicitor when Mr C purchased the property was incomplete and, therefore, misleading (not upheld); and
- (e) the Statutory Notice issued in 2004 in respect of Mr C's property was inaccurate, and his property was not in a serious state of repair (not upheld).
