LadyJane you should try Clapham and Brixton, where many occupants of short life co op properties have been re housed and their co ops dissolved by Lambeth Council. Unfortunately Lambeth doesn't appear to be doing anything with the properties that they have emptied, so they're there empty, we know not for how long, but some have been unoccupied for over a year now. They're all in reasonable condition as the co ops were in occupancy for 30years, they have the basics, water, electric, gas, but are in danger of falling in to disrepair fast if left empty, so of you go!
