Between May 2010 and June 2015 we sold 105 court buildings that were unsuitable for use and often underused. A further three court buildings have been transferred to the Avon and Somerset Police in which the MoJ still retains a financial interest.

The department is committed to disposing of surplus property assets expeditiously and reducing holding costs.

There are temporary costs associated with making sure unused buildings are kept secure and protecting the fabric of the building as well as property rates payable to local councils.

On 16 July 2015, HMCTS published a consultation on the provision of court and tribunal estate in England and Wales. The consultation puts forward proposals that aim to reduce surplus capacity by closing courts and tribunals that are unused or underused, or that are simply unsuitable for the services we need to provide from them. The proposals aim to reduce the cost of the estate and reinvest the savings to provide better access to justice.<\/p>
