Description

A development plot in East Lothian with planning permission granted for a three-bedroom detached house. Plans are available on request. The site is accessible from the main road, and nearby homes suggest that services may be available in the vicinity. Buyers should confirm service connections and requirements directly with the relevant providers.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

40out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a cleared, fenced plot in a residential setting, with planning permission stated for a three-bedroom detached house. That gives a buyer a clear starting point for a build project, subject to checking the consent, its conditions and status, and establishing the plot dimensions, ground conditions and service connections.

The overall WHOTS score is low at 40/100, with good fundamentals and location but limited overall opportunity on the available information. The floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged; the £42,500 asking price alone does not establish whether it is cheap or dear.

Key opportunities

  • Develop the stated consent for a three-bedroom detached house, after verifying the planning permission and its conditions.
  • Shape the plot into a new home in an established residential setting, with existing houses visible nearby.
  • Investigate access and nearby services as a starting point for progressing the build.

Key risks

  • Plot dimensions, ground conditions and service connections are not established in the available information; confirm these before committing.
  • The missing floor area means value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged.
