What is this

Municipalities maintain registers of buildings that degrade the environment, have collapsed or endanger people's safety. Such buildings usually get an increased real-estate tax rate, and the owner is obliged to fix them up or demolish them.

For a buyer this matters in two ways: a derelict next door lowers the neighbourhood's attractiveness and price, while a derelict on the property being bought means obligations and costs. At the same time it can be an opportunity — many derelicts sell cheaply, and they also show up in auctions.

Frequently Asked Questions / FAQ

Where can I find a derelict-buildings map of Latvia?

On this map. Turn on the derelict-buildings layer and look around the neighbourhood you are interested in — all registered environment-degrading buildings are shown in their places.

What is an environment-degrading building?

It is a building the municipality has recognised as collapsed, dangerous or degrading the environment. Such a building gets an increased real-estate tax, and the owner must fix it up or demolish it.

Can a derelict be bought?

Yes. Degraded buildings are often sold cheaply or auctioned. Before buying, it is worth understanding the renovation costs and whether the building carries extra obligations or encumbrances.

How does a derelict next door affect my property?

It usually hurts the neighbourhood's attractiveness and can lower the price. If the object is dangerous, you can report it to the municipal building authority.
