The UK government has updated its guidelines on handling certain unclaimed land, buildings, and property interests known as bona vacantia. The revisions, announced on the Bona Vacantia Division's website, include new indicative charges for property valuations. These changes, aimed at reflecting increases in District Valuer fees, affect the BVC2 (Refer Bona Vacantia Land or Buildings) and BVC4 (Apply to buy a Freehold Reversion) guidelines.
Bona vacantia refers to ownerless property that can pass to the Crown and is administered through the Bona Vacantia Division in England and Wales. The updated guidelines do not alter the fundamental rules of what constitutes bona vacantia but rather adjust the indicative charges for valuations.
