Description

This is a unique opportunity to acquire a consented development plot located in the sought-after residential area of Bexley. The site, situated to the rear of Howard Avenue, currently features a garage measuring 117 sq m and comes with full planning permission to demolish the existing structure and construct a single-storey detached bungalow of 62 sq m. This project will also include associated parking and refuse storage. With planning reference 24/02599/FUL, the property presents significant potential for developers, investors, or those looking to self-build a high-quality new home within an established community. The anticipated Gross Development Value (GDV) for this plot ranges from approximately £500,000 to £525,000, subject to market conditions and the final specifications attached to the property. Additionally, prospective buyers should be aware that there is an estimated Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) of £7,400 applicable to this development. It is advised that interested parties investigate any potential offsets or reliefs pertinent to the existing garage scheduled for demolition. Please note that the title will require division as part of the legal process. For more details or to schedule a site inspection, please reach out to Kallars Estate Agents.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This property presents a unique opportunity as a consented development plot in a desirable area of Bexley. Currently featuring a garage, it has planning permission for the construction of a single-storey detached bungalow, which could appeal to developers or self-builders looking to capitalize on the potential for a high-quality new home in a well-established location. However, the asking price of £175,000 seems steep when compared to local averages, and without detailed floor area information, it's difficult to fully assess the value proposition here.

The internal condition of the existing structure remains largely unknown, and the absence of specific renovation costs adds to the uncertainty surrounding this investment. While the planning permission is a strong point, prospective buyers should be cautious; the economic indicators show a negative growth trend in the area, and without clearer financial metrics, the perceived value may not align with the asking price. Overall, while the potential for a new build is promising, the current price and lack of detailed information may deter some investors.

In summary, this plot could be a worthwhile venture for those willing to navigate the uncertainties and potential costs involved in the development process, but the asking price and missing details leave much to be desired in terms of immediate opportunity.

Key opportunities

  • Consent for the demolition of the existing garage and construction of a new bungalow
  • Located in a desirable residential area with good development potential

Key risks

  • High asking price compared to local averages may not reflect true value
  • Lack of information on internal condition and renovation costs adds uncertainty
