Some you win some you lose, it’s not worked out for them, only themselves to blame, they submitted the plans and set the asking prices. Surrounding residents have all ready put up with one round of development and should not be subjected to any more. Market forces need to be left to play out. They are only worth what someone is willing to pay. The build cost is circa 3 million, they want a return of 6.5 million. If they want them gone, slash the price 50% and move along. The real problem here is pure greed! I really hope they’re plans are rejected and buyers have there pants down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dougless Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 I think he should be encouraged to do this. It will create lots of (unnecessary) work and hopefully he will be left with 30 unsold flats in 18 months time which will help to push prices down further.

happyguy Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 The LA will give permission - they are under pressure to provide numbers of new homes and target to meet. Out of 30 units they will get either some social housing of a financial 106 contribution whichever they prefer. This is an expensive area. Houses are still selling in excess of 1m but not at 1.3m For 30 flats to achieve just 6.5 m the average price would be £216,666,666.. They will ++++ all over that figure. Bramkscombe Road in Poole is a prime location This area is where a lot of people buy a 2nd home or retire to as they downsize and use the equity to travel- give to family etc and flats are in high demand. Some people will say "oh he will never get he will be lucky to get 100k a flat but that is dreamland. The reality may be that he has put these on at a price not to sell so he can go back to the LA and change planing knowing the pressure they are under to allow planning for more new properties.

The houses look pretty awful too, even more so considering the asking price. Considering the land was bought in 2012, ugly structures built in 2016 and still not sold in 2019; 18 month would be super optimistic to build flats. It will be more like 5 years and I would be very surprised if bankruptcy wouldn't happen much sooner than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, 30 flats would no doubt sell and they would have a leaseholds, maintenance etc to cash in on top. Only because they will be eligible to use Help to Buy scheme (taxpayer) to shift them at over inflated prices as they will fall below the 600k threshold. That’s where they have gone wrong, if they could tap into the HTB scheme on those houses, idiots would of already moved in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
