Community Right to Bid

The Community Right to Bid helps community groups buy important local buildings when they go up for sale. You can nominate assets like pubs, shops, libraries or football grounds as community assets. When these buildings are sold, your community group gets the chance to bid for them. This keeps valued local buildings in community use. The scheme is run by Liverpool City Council. There is no set funding amount as this is about the right to bid, not direct grants. You can apply at any time as there are no fixed deadlines.

This is for community groups who want to protect important local buildings from being lost. You need to be an organised community group, not an individual. It is specifically for groups in Liverpool and surrounding areas covered by Liverpool City Council.

Aims to keep valued land and buildings such as your local pub, shop, library or football ground in community use. This scheme allows community groups to nominate assets of community value and have the opportunity to bid for them when they come up for sale.

Contact Liverpool City Council to nominate an asset of community value. When the asset comes up for sale, you will be notified and can submit your bid. The council will provide guidance on the nomination and bidding process.
