If this had been closer I would have bought it - what a location though! Do it for £100k and you have a bargain secluded home, private road, river and pub a stones throw away too!

Make half the ground floor a garage and dich the 2nd bedroom to have an upstairs bedroom and lounge with a view. Or the whole ground floor a garage with a Studio living/bedroom & bathroom upstairs.

Ideal pad for our @Dox but you have to be a local and he's just a little far away :unsure:

It's the planning where the value is - and you can buy an acre for £12K ish :unsure: pity you have to be a local yokel though or I might have had a stab at it myself 👀

Only drawback is it's in a national park and the fuckers strangle you with regulations. It significantly increases costs and build time. I know of people in the North Pennines (which is a Unesco Geopark rather than a NP but it amounts to the same thing) and they've been tied up in planning wrangles for years with the job completely stalled. If you're borrowing to do the build that bastards can force you under. You could buy it and get full planning and turn it over as a ready to go project. You'd make a decent profit.

I wanted to buy a 5.75 acre plot on the edge of Consett last year. It was farmland with no planning permission to develop or change of use approved, but just outside the N. Pennines area and adjoining a housing estate in Castleside. It was a shoo-in for development and the guide price was 75K. I'd have got planning for self-build plots and either flogged them individualy at 100K a pop or sold the site on wholesale. Unfortunately my house sale in Scotland didn't complete in time. It's just gone back on the market and sold as a single development opportunity with 16 self-build plots approved (I'd have wanted to shove at least 30 on it). The guide price was 975K and I expect it went to 1.2m. I was sick to my guts when I saw that. Biggest bus I've ever missed.

It appears to have full planning permission :unsure:

It'll likely be a push it over and start again job. Although the gable end visible in the pic doesn't look too bad. I'd want to know before bidding, if thet information is provided in the plan. If it's a standing renovation 100K isn't bad for what it would be worth afterwards - which makes me suspect it's a demo job. If it's a demolition and rebuild it needs to be looked at very very carefully. If I bought something like that I'd be putting a static on site to live in and doing all the work myself. If you're using contractors you're potentially walking a tightrope unless you've got a very substantial pot to cover all eventualities.

Looks like a standing renovation - the plans are shown in the pictures, before and after.
You have to be local though or you can't buy it :mad:

There are a lot of hidden costs when building a new property nowadays.
Is it classed as a pure new build? If so it’s vat free for the majority of the build.
You need to pay a company to give you the 10 year warranty as well as building control.
These charges are not cheap and the warranty surveyors are usually much stricter than BC.
The new insulation regs are a nightmare and you would probably need PV and or heat pumps which are both expensive.
Services could be expensive due to location.
I’ve built a few houses and have fallen foul of lots of hidden costs.
