The site may be suitable for both self-build purchasers and developers.
No restriction on ownership or development is known unless specifically imposed by a planning condition or Section 106 Agreement.
A self-build purchase may offer SDLT advantages, as tax is generally payable on the land acquisition price rather than the value of the completed property.
Prospective purchasers should rely on their own investigations and obtain independent legal, planning and tax advice. Any planning obligations, restrictions, SDLT liabilities and development requirements should be verified prior to exchange of contracts.
