Unfinished Estates

The term “unfinished” may have certain meanings or related perceptions, therefore for a more informed view of the term one should refer to the Department of the Environment, Community & Local Government website. The categorisation applied by the Department of the Environment, Community & Local Government in its national survey of 2010-2011 in relation to “unfinished” estates identified the following categories; 

Category 1: Developer present and active.

Category 2: Developments where a receiver had been appointed.

Category 3: Developer present but not active.

Category 4: Abandoned developments (no developer present) with serious public safety issues.
