Description
Situated within a popular and peaceful residential area of Bideford, this is an excellent opportunity to acquire a parcel of land with lapsed planning permission for the construction of two detached 4 Bedroom homes, each complemented by gardens and garaging.
Granted by Torridge District Council under application number 1/0152/2019/FUL, the formerly approved plans allow for the creation of two highly individual and well-proportioned family residences. The site offers strong appeal both as an investment opportunity and for those seeking the potential for dual-family occupation.
As part of the original planning process and discharge of conditions, a range of supporting reports have already been compiled, including a Construction and Environmental Management Plan, Site Investigation Report and Mining Investigation Report, among others which can be viewed on the Torridge District Council website.
It is thought that fresh planning approval should be relatively straightforward to procure.
This property is for sale by Modern Method of Auction powered by iamsold LTD - Starting Bid £145,000 plus Reservation Fee.
Auctioneer Comments
This property is for sale by the Modern Method of Auction. Should you view, offer or bid on the property, your information will be shared with the Auctioneer, iamsold Limited.
This method of auction requires both parties to complete the transaction within 56 days of the draft contract for sale being received by the buyers solicitor. This additional time allows buyers to proceed with mortgage finance (subject to lending criteria, affordability and survey).
The buyer is required to sign a reservation agreement and make payment of a non-refundable Reservation Fee. This being 4.5% of the purchase price including VAT, subject to a minimum of £6,600.00 including VAT. The Reservation Fee is paid in addition to the purchase price and will be considered as part of the chargeable consideration for the property in the calculation for stamp duty liability. Buyers will be required to go through an identification verification process with iamsold and provide proof of how the purchase would be funded.
This property has a Buyer Information Pack which is a collection of documents in relation to the property. The documents may not tell you everything you need to know about the property, so you are required to complete your own due diligence before bidding. A sample copy of the Reservation Agreement and terms and conditions are also contained within this pack. The buyer will also make payment of £300 including VAT towards the preparation cost of the pack, where it has been provided by iamsold.
The property is subject to an undisclosed Reserve Price with both the Reserve Price and Starting Bid being subject to change.
