Description

This building plot presents a compelling development opportunity, with planning permission already granted for the construction of three properties, comprising two houses and one coach house. Situated on the site of an existing garage block, which is slated for demolition, this project allows for a fresh start in a desirable area. The approved planning application number is 08/26/00002, and work must commence within three years from the date of this permission. The layout includes one-bedroom configurations for both the end terrace and mid terrace houses, as well as a one-bedroom coach house flat. Each unit will benefit from allocated parking, enhancing their appeal to potential tenants or buyers. Building specifications indicate that the new structures will feature slate tiles matching existing homes in Mill Lane, with brickwork designed to harmonize with the local architecture. Essential services such as mains electric, gas, water, and drainage are available in the area, ensuring ease of integration into the new builds. There have been no flooding incidents reported in the last five years, adding further reassurance to prospective investors. Further details regarding planning can be obtained through appropriate channels, and on-site viewings are encouraged to appreciate the full potential of this development plot.

Confidence: LOW

This detached house offers a unique opportunity due to the granted planning permission for the construction of three new properties on the site. However, the current listing lacks critical details such as usable floor area, bedroom count, and renovation estimates, which severely limits its attractiveness as an investment. The asking price of £135,000 is significantly lower than the local average, but without the necessary data to assess the true potential value, it raises concerns about the overall economics of the purchase.

The property’s location shows a slight decline in growth over the past year, and while it suggests reasonable liquidity with 44 sales per month, the absence of concrete figures makes it challenging to determine the viability of this investment. The planning permission could be a silver lining for developers looking to capitalize on the site, but prospective buyers should proceed with caution due to the lack of information that would typically bolster confidence in such a purchase.

Key opportunities

  • Granted planning permission for three properties, providing a clear development path.

Key risks

  • Missing critical details such as usable floor area and bedroom count, which hampers valuation.
  • Insufficient data on renovation costs and existing condition, leading to uncertainty.
