Description
An exceptional opportunity to acquire a well-located residential development site with clear potential to deliver a serviced custom-build scheme, either in its entirety or via phased acquisition.
Positioned on the edge of an established residential area, the site lends itself to a developer-led custom build model, enabling delivery of infrastructure, planning, and plot preparation, with onward sale to individual purchasers seeking bespoke homes.
The Opportunity
Approx. 2.5 acre development site
Granted outline planning permission for up to 9 dwellings
Established access via existing residential cul-de-sac
Strong surrounding housing market and demand profile
Well-configured site with open outlooks
Concept layouts demonstrate a low-density, high-value scheme, designed to maximise plot desirability and end values.
This site lends itself to a modern custom-build delivery model, allowing:
Planning for a policy-aligned custom build scheme
Upfront infrastructure delivery (roads, drainage, services)
Sale of serviced, “build-ready” plots to individual purchasers
Potential for additional revenue via design control or build packages
With increasing demand for self-build opportunities and legislative support requiring councils to facilitate serviced plots, this represents a compelling and forward-thinking development strategy.
Flexibility
The site is offered with flexibility to suit a range of buyers:
Whole site acquisition
Phased or parcel sales
Potential for joint venture or promotion discussions
A standout opportunity to deliver a high-quality custom build scheme in a desirable residential setting, offering developers a flexible, lower-risk model with strong demand fundamentals and premium end values.

Rent-driven metrics
Based on OpenRent comparables.
- Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
- Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
- Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
- Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
- Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
- Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
- ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
