Land
• Conversion of 5,000 sq.ft former office building into a scheme of 22 apartment units, with associated planning approval under two applications over 10,000 sq.ft (22/01149/FULM and 20/01610/FULM).
• City centre location close to Train Station, with high demand for new homes / rentals.
• Conversion started in September 2020 and built out to the first floor, when the contractor went into administration due to Covid in March 2021. 12 apartments had agreed sales at asking prices in late 2020, providing confidence that there was a need in Lichfield for starter/rental apartments.
• Site has been vacant since then and works will need to start again, although both planning applications have started and are valid.
• Recent amended layout for 22 apartments, including roof space, to provide more two bed apartments would see the GDV rise to £4.0M with associated build cost of £2.4M. Requires Section 73 amendments.
Please be advised that the auctioneers have not personally inspected the site. Prospective buyers are advised to make a viewing enquiry and any other necessary independent enquiries before placing their bid, as this will be binding.
