House with Static Lodge - now with RM link

phoebe1989seb

I may have missed this upthread, but how does the current asking price compare to the sold prices of similar properties nearby without a static caravan?

We viewed a rural property earlier this year that had a couple of statics - in this case they were fairly old and quite tatty, lol - in the three acres of grounds. One was being lived in by the vendor's daughter, although apparently only at weekends. It was, however, billed separately for council tax - band A for the static, while the house was band D.

We weren't interested in the statics at all - there were also several outbuildings which we were interested in - but the vendor wasn't prepared to remove the statics. Nor was she flexible regarding a low offer. The property was priced at around £35k more than a similarly sized/situated house without any statics........

Thanks Phoebe.

Pricing stats for the area are very few and there is very little sale in past few years. That said, the plot this house sits in is rather unique and almost double the second largest plot in the area. Pricing factor seems to be based on

size of the plot
lapsed planning permission for 2 additional and independent 3bed houses
Large than average garage
The fancy Caravan ofcourse


For me, the single biggest and most important tick is the size of the plot.

The link identifies the address.
If you look it up on the valuation office web site

http://cti.voa.gov.uk/cti/inits.asp

you will see that the static home is banded A for council tax. The main property B.

If you did purchase with the static home in place you will be liable for council tax on both properties.

It's almost £100k more than any other property has ever sold for on that street.

Awesome, I was looking for it on my local council website. Does this also mean that council has given permission or not required.

Yes hence I am struggling to see how the asking price was considered unless it was made up by PB.

Looks like there is potential for a full plot using both properties.

what do the planners like to see getting built in the area.

If you mean one single big property then yes I have that in mind too but it will cost a lot to achieve.

Area is all dormer bungalows.

Looking at the details you're paying for the "plot potential" - to follow the original plan which was clearly to move into the caravan, demolish the existing property and replace it with two semis ... lapsed 5 years ago.

It's pricier than other houses have sold in the past because of that development potential.

So you have to ask yourself why you're interested in that particular house, which has no outstanding features whatsoever that most people could spot ....

A seasoned developer might, say, spot that they could squeeze FOUR houses in there .... and know how the current planning etc works so they can probably get that passed.
