628 sqftDescription
Offered at auction, this freehold corner site in Colliers Wood is vacant and is described as having planning permission for a mixed-use redevelopment comprising two commercial units at ground level and nine flats above. The existing two-storey building is stated to extend to approximately 628 sq ft, with the site measuring around 4,574 sq ft.

Colliers Wood Underground station is approximately a one-minute walk away, with bus routes and other rail and tram connections available nearby. Planning reference 25/P3173 is given in the particulars. Buyers should review the legal pack and verify the planning and site details.

32out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This is a prominent, vacant corner-plot project with approved plans for two commercial units and nine flats, and the CGI gives a sense of the proposed scheme rather than the condition of the existing building. Its location close to Colliers Wood Underground and visible road frontage are notable assets; verify the planning permission and its conditions before proceeding. The current building is modest and older, while the grass-and-gravel site reads more as a redevelopment canvas than a finished home.
At £1.4m, the asking price is very high against the local £/sqf benchmark, so the 32/100, Grade E score reflects a weak value opportunity despite the site’s redevelopment potential. The full scheme is a substantial project, and the available information does not establish renovation economics.
Key opportunities
- The approved proposal provides a framework for two ground-floor commercial units and nine flats; confirm the permission and its conditions.
- The prominent corner position, road frontage and nearby Underground station give the site strong visibility and transport access.
- The existing modest building and open grass-and-gravel areas offer scope to reshape the site around the proposed mixed-use scheme.
Key risks
- Replacing the modest existing building with a two-commercial-unit, nine-flat scheme is a major development programme, not a cosmetic refresh; budget and programme need to reflect the scale of the proposed works.
