Having successfully purchased through the selling agent before and with him fully aware of our buying requirements we were given first opportunity to acquire this detached house occupying just under ¼ acre of land. With the sellers having agreed to purchase a warden assisted home by the coast, an unconditional purchase was required. Our research immediately highlighted the fact that planning permission for a new build block of 8 apartments had just been granted in the road. Armed with this key information along with budgets for the build costs and likely resale values we proceeded to an immediate exchange of contracts.
