** ATTENTION DEVELOPERS / INVESTORS / BUILDERS ** AUCTION IS NOW LIVE ** A fantastic development opportunity in Derby's City Centre to be sold by Modern Method of Auction.
The site, which is approximately 0.2 acres in total comprises the former plots for 45 and 47 Mount Street and an adjacent block of garages, which have all been demolished.
There was FULL PLANNING CONSENT (REF: 03/14/00427) granted in 2016 for the construction of 3-Storey mixed residential and commercial unit with parking space for 10 cars.
The retail unit is on the ground floor and the accommodation is on the 1st and 2nd floors. On the first floor there is permission for 2 one-bedroom flats and 10 studio apartments.
On the second floor there will be a further 8 studio apartments. The commercial unit is 251m2 and has designated staff parking area and cycle store.
1-bedroom flats are around 34m2 each and the studio apartments are each approx 30m2 in size. The Gross Developmental Value (GDV) for the complete unit is estimated at around £2.4-2.5 million.
The studio apartments will easily sell for £100-110k and the flats around £120-140k. The finished retail unit should fetch around £300-400k. The rental yields for this development are substantial.
We would expect the retail unit to fetch £2500 PCM. The 1-bed flats would rent for £650 PCM and the studio apartments would be let out for £600 PCM.
The combined annual rental income would come to around £175k FULL PLANNING PERMISSION IN PLACE The approved plans are available online at the Derby Planning Portal (REF 24/00914/FUL).
