"Reality Check verdict: Doing so would not be allowed under current rules, and legislation to allow property to be seized in peacetime would be controversial."
Reality check Iains
It would be unbelievably inhuman to allow properties to stand empty while there are so many people in desperate need of a roof over their heads, whatever the law says.
What kind of people would allow that, and what kinD of people would support it by hiding behind the law?

If the question were as simple, and clear-cut as you seem to suggest, why have these homes not already been used to house the homeless?

We need (most of us) to have some regard for the rule of law.
