Sold with Vacant Possession.

Tenure - Freehold

NO OVERAGE is applicable on this sale

The Opportunity - DETACHED HOUSE MODERNISATION

The existing 4 bed house ( 1399 Sq Ft ) is vacant and now requires modernisation with huge potential for a fine home or investment.
There is further scope to extend or convert into flats or HMO.
Interested parties will note the property is not listed and is not within a conservation area so there is scope for demolition to incorporate it into the new build scheme.

DEVELOPMENT SITE | SCOPE FOR 5 HOUSES

The brownfield land has excellent residential development potential.
The Sellers recently submitted a Pre-Application to North Somerset Council with indicative plans for 6 new dwellings, which was later reduced to 5 new dwellings through subsequent negotiations.
The principle of development for up to 5 dwellings was positively received.
Due to recent NPPF changes, it is anticipated this development will not require Biodiversity Net Gain related mitigation, should the development area be restricted to the red line shown within the document: "3398-PA-01A-(Location Plan) (3)" within the Data Room.
Pre App information in Data Room / Online Legal pack.
Interested parties to make their own investigations.

*All subject to gaining the necessary consents.

BUYER’S PREMIUM

Please be aware all purchasers are subject to a £1,500 + VAT (£1,800 inc VAT) buyer's premium which is ALWAYS payable upon exchange of contracts whether the sale is concluded before, during or after the auction date.

GUIDE PRICE

An indication of the seller's current minimum acceptable price at auction. The guide price or range of guide prices is given to assist consumers in deciding whether to pursue a purchase. It is usual, but not always the case, that a provisional reserve range is agreed between the seller and the auctioneer at the start of marketing. As the reserve is not fixed at this stage and can be adjusted by the seller at any time up to the day of the auction in the light of interest shown during the marketing period, a guide price is issued. This guide price can be shown in the form of a minimum and maximum price range within which an acceptable sale price (reserve) would fall, or as a single price figure within 10% of which the minimum acceptable price (reserve) would fall. A guide price is different to a reserve price (see separate definition). Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.

RESERVE PRICE

The seller's minimum acceptable price at auction and the figure below which the auctioneer cannot sell. The reserve price is not disclosed and remains confidential between the seller and the auctioneer. Both the guide price and the reserve price can be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction.
