Hillingdon Council's Cabinet has approved the sale of three vacant flats at 17 Frithwood Avenue in Northwood. The decision, made during a meeting on Thursday, 23 July 2026, follows a declaration that the properties are surplus to requirements.
The flats, identified as Flats 1, 2, and 4 at the address, are described as being in poor condition and not meeting modern housing standards. This necessitates significant investment to bring them back into use. The council's decision to sell them aims to avoid refurbishment costs and generate a capital receipt for reinvestment.
As the properties are vacant, there is no indication of impact on existing tenants or previous occupants. The Cabinet's approval for the sale was documented in the Public reports pack 23rd Jul 2026 19.00 CABINET.
This sale is part of a broader strategy for council-owned properties. The Cabinet also discussed a Corporate Disposals Programme 2026/27 - Garages Disposal Strategy Update,
where they agreed to retain seven garage sites previously approved for disposal and to declare a further five sites surplus to requirements for sale. This indicates an ongoing program of property disposals by the council.
The meeting on 23 July 2026 also covered other council business, as detailed in the Printed minutes 23rd Jul 2026 19.00 CABINET.
