Delahays Drive, Hale, Altrincham, Greater Manchester, WA15 8DP

Exciting redevelopment Opportunity for those buyers looking to create a substantial family home finished to their own specification, without having to go through a lengthy planning process.

This superbly located 1930’s detached family home which enjoys a large garden plot extending to one third of an acre, situated in a highly desirable road within 14 mins walking distance of Hale Village, where full detailed planning consent has just been granted to remodel and extend the existing house of 2220 sq ft and double its size to 4415 sq ft.

We believe the finished house will likely be worth circa £2.3m, based on comparable evidence of recent sales achieving circa £525 psf, build costs have been estimated at circa £450,000.

The existing property can be purchased for £1.25m which after taking into account SDLT on the purchase of £68,750 (owner occupier single residence UK resident) would allow for a Tax free profit of circa £530,000 for the owner occupier.

The current owners who purchased the property which arguably sits in one of the best plots on the road, for their own occupation in 2021 with a view to creating their forever home, have spent the last 4 years and tens of thousands of pounds on architects and planning fees to obtain full planning consent, however due to a change in circumstances due to relocation are now looking to sell on the project at a competitive price which leaves profit for the buyer.

As local agents we rarely come across such opportunities, there may be other redevelopment / remodelling opportunities available to a buyer but few if any that we know of are ready for work to commence.

Most will take years of planning with all the certainty and delays that go with that.

In addition to the above advantages, there is also a rare Highways department consent to create a second driveway onto Delahays drive enabling the remodelled house to have a return carriage driveway.

The consent, the location and delightful and large mature garden plot means that this opportunity ticks the boxes for so many prospective purchasers, opportunities that exist are rarely this close to Hale Village (1.1km from the centre of Hale village), few if any have planning consent and here is one where a buyer can create a £2.3m home for a £1.77m spend.

Of course there may be buyers who like the existing property and are looking to spend £1.25m on a home that they can live in and modernise over time, having the current consent will enable you to obtain permission for a scaled back version of the current consent.

For further information on this exciting opportunity contact Michael Groves or Stuart Howe in our office, we will happily share the full set of consented plans and be more than happy to arrange a site visit.

In the meantime this advert is accompanied by existing and proposed floor plans and over 30 photographs of the exiting house and gardens.
