Description

Scott & Stapleton are marketing a substantial property of approximately 5,000 sq ft opposite Westcliff mainline station, with the seafront and Hamlet Court Road shopping facilities also within easy reach. The listing describes it as a development opportunity, with planning permission stated for conversion into six self-contained apartments. The proposed scheme comprises a mix of one- and two-bedroom flats, including a two-bedroom maisonette. The agent indicates a gross development value of around £1.35 million and potential annual rental income of approximately £88,000; these are listing estimates and should be independently checked. An internal inspection is advised.

Confidence: LOW

At £700,000, this substantial 5,000 sq ft property is priced at about £140 per sq ft, well below the local average of £350 — a strikingly low entry point for a conversion project. It sits directly opposite Westcliff station, and the listing says planning permission is in place for six self-contained flats. The agent’s stated GDV of £1.35 million indicates development upside against the asking price, but that figure is the agent’s claim, not an independent valuation; no works budget has been estimated, so the current all-in calculation is purchase-only.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the substantial 5,000 sq ft building into the proposed mix of six self-contained flats, with plans and elevations included in the listing.
  • The station-front location, close to the seafront and Hamlet Court Road, gives the proposed homes a strong convenience-led appeal.
  • The broadly intact street-facing exterior offers a starting point for a substantial conversion rather than a project defined by visible external failure.

Key risks

  • A six-flat conversion is a heavy, multi-unit programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; verify the planning conditions and deliverability, and allow for significant time and coordination.
  • The photographs do not establish the condition of the roof, rear elevation, services or concealed fabric, so these require inspection.
  • The stated GDV and projected rental figures are the agent’s claims and should be independently tested.
