Description

A south-facing building plot of approximately 905m2 in Fauldhouse, offered with outline planning permission for a one or one-and-a-half storey home of four or five bedrooms. The site is described as predominantly level and has private access. Planning reference 0541/P/23 is stated to remain valid until 2029, and the Section 69 Developer's Contribution has been settled. The proposed house and entrance arrangement shown in the CGI are illustrative; the plot offers scope for a self-build or development project, subject to confirming the consent and its conditions.

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

47out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a ground-up build opportunity rather than a renovation: the approximately 905m², south-facing plot is cleared, largely level and maintained, with mature boundaries and private access. Outline planning permission for a one- or one-and-a-half-storey home is stated to be valid until 2029, and the settled developer contribution is a useful head start; the CGI is illustrative, not an existing house. At £80,000, the missing floor area means value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged. The overall score is low, with limited economics data, so the appeal rests on the plot and the scope to create a bespoke home; confirm the consent, its conditions and technical feasibility before committing.

Key opportunities

  • Use the largely level 905m² plot to shape a bespoke family home and make the most of its south-facing aspect.
  • Mature trees, hedging and established boundaries provide a starting point for a private garden setting.
  • Private access, outline consent stated to run until 2029 and a settled developer contribution offer a useful foundation for taking the build forward.

Key risks

  • This is a ground-up build, so the buyer must plan and budget for the full construction programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
  • Confirm the outline consent, conditions and technical feasibility before relying on the proposed home or driveway shown in the illustrative CGI.
