Council SEIZES Empty Homes! (The "Legal Theft" Scandal)

Описание: You own the deed. You pay the mortgage. But if your house sits empty for just 6 months, the Council can legally change the locks and seize control.

In this terrifying investigation, I expose the "Empty Dwelling Management Orders" (EDMOs) being weaponized by bankrupt Councils across the UK. It’s no longer just about derelict ruins; they are targeting inherited homes in probate, properties undergoing slow renovations, and second homes.

I break down the "300% Council Tax Premium" designed to bankrupt you into selling, how they use water bill data and neighbors to spy on your property, and the nightmare scenario where they use your equity to pay for overpriced renovations you didn't ask for.

⚠️ URGENT: If you own a second property or are currently dealing with probate, you must watch the "Defense Playbook" chapter at the end to learn the 4 legal loopholes to stop a seizure.
