Description

Offered at auction, this freehold development property occupies a site stated to extend to approximately 0.25 acre and is offered with vacant possession. The existing accommodation is arranged across two buildings: Harbour, a two-floor building with reception and dining rooms, an office, kitchen, laundry room and several bedrooms, including rooms with en-suite facilities; and Quays, a three-floor building containing three flats. The listing describes the property as requiring modernisation and upgrading. The current layout provides a mix of larger shared accommodation and self-contained flats. Buyers may consider reconfiguring or extending the buildings, subject to obtaining any necessary permissions and verifying feasibility. The property is in central Torquay, stated to be less than a mile from the coast and around 0.7 mile on foot from Torquay railway station. The sale is by auction, and the listing refers to a buyer-paid contract documentation fee and possible additional completion fees.

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

53out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

At £225,000, this substantial detached property on a 0.25-acre plot has a compelling amount of existing accommodation: a two-floor building alongside three flats, with scope to modernise and consider reconfiguring the layout. The photographed areas look generally tidy, with some local wall and surface marks, an unfinished-looking kitchen cabinet section and weathering outside. The floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. Limited photo coverage makes the renovation assessment further provisional.

The D grade reflects an opportunity that is hard to assess fully from the available size and value data, rather than a confirmed price disadvantage. The guide is for an auction sale; bidding can take the hammer above the guide, so the eventual price may not stay this cheap.

Key opportunities

  • Modernise the existing accommodation, using the visible surface work and unfinished kitchen cabinet area as part of a cosmetic refresh.
  • Explore how the two-floor building and three flats could be reconfigured to suit a buyer’s plans, subject to investigation and any required permissions.
  • The 0.25-acre plot and substantial multi-storey building provide a distinctive canvas for considering further improvements or extension, subject to feasibility and permissions.
