Auction
Allsop residential, Lot 164, April 2026 - sold £800,000 (60% below £2m+ guide)
Single biggest risk
Sold £800k against a £2m+ guide. The 60% discount is what 35% affordable housing does to land value.

Outline permission (ref 20/03343/AOP, GPS Estates Ltd) requires 35% affordable housing - 15 of 42 dwellings handed to a Registered Provider at sub-market value. On central case GDV and build cost assumptions, the indicative residual land value sits below the £2m+ guide, which is why the lot cleared at £800,000 (60% below guide). The £800k buyer is pricing the optimistic case (high GDV, low build cost) or has structural cost advantages from scale or in-house construction. Aylesbury Vale has no adopted CIL, so all contributions flow through s.106 - which the buyer must obtain from Buckinghamshire Council before any further commitment.

All three auction-catalogue references verified live on the Three Rivers Idox register. Two-flat conversion (24/1992/FUL) approved 22 December 2025.

Three consents all verified live on the Three Rivers register: 24/1748/FUL (single-storey rear extension, approved 23 Dec 2024), 24/1749/CLPD (Certificate of Lawfulness - loft conversion with rear dormer, garage conversion, front porch, internal alterations, approved 20 Dec 2024), and 24/1992/FUL (subdivision to 2 self-contained flats with part two-storey rear extension, front extension, loft conversion, cycle and refuse, landscaping - approved 22 Dec 2025). The planning route is clear. Remaining work is condition discharge plus Building Regulations - structural design for the two-flat split, sound separation between units, fire compartmentation, and metering. Indicative residual after build and finance suggests the £576,000 hammer sits comfortably within range for a two-flat exit at South Oxhey rents, less comfortable as a single-dwelling refurb.

Clean granted consent. The risk is the basement, not the planning.

The 2-bed detached house with basement is granted (ref 250873FUL, January 2026, LB Ealing) and corroborated across five independent listings. The risk is not planning, it is build: basement excavation on a tight infill plot carries cost-overrun risk from pre-commencement conditions (Basement Construction Method Statement, structural impact assessment, ground conditions report) and the residual land value is sensitive to a £100-150/sqm swing in build cost.

The ground floor is a laundrette, not Class E. Class MA prior approval does not engage.

The headline permitted-development route (Class MA, Class E to C3) is not available because the ground-floor laundrette is Sui Generis, not Class E. The Class M fallback is constrained by a 150 sqm cap and a 20 March 2013 use-date requirement the catalogue does not evidence. The realistic route is a full planning application against a 2003 refusal at the exact address (Ref 030181). A buyer pricing in a fast prior-approval play is mispricing the deal.

The site is a part-built shell, abandoned since 2021 after the contractor went into administration.

Works commenced September 2020 and stopped March 2021 when the contractor went into administration. Roughly five years of weathering on uncovered foundations, ground beams, blockwork and slabs. The 22/01149/FULM "part retrospective" consent regularised the planning departure but warrants nothing about structural integrity, materials or Building Regs compliance. Demolition and re-validation could swing the build cost by £100k-£300k+. Separately, the time-limit clock under TCPA 1990 s91 expires 30 November 2026, six months from this report - if the 2019 implementation cannot be relied on, that is the immediate priority.

Drawn from the local planning authority register, planning.data.gov.uk, the Environment Agency flood map, HM Land Registry Price Paid Data and the permitted development rules. Reviewed and signed off before sending.

Banded verdict on page one
Strong / Moderate / Constrained / Poor, against a printed scale, with a separate confidence level. The single biggest risk is surfaced here, not buried later.
At a glance
A factual ledger of the property, the advertised play, the verified planning history, the planning route and the designations affecting the site.
Site context map
A 500-metre map of the property with constraint polygons drawn live from planning.data.gov.uk - conservation, Article 4, listed, flood, Green Belt, TPO. Listed buildings as points.
The opportunity
Site-specific prose. Roof form, plot shape, boundaries, neighbouring built form. What the property can realistically take, plain English.
Indicative figures
End value, build cost and a sensible maximum bid. Caveated ranges drawn from HM Land Registry, BCIS-aligned cost benchmarks and a residual-value calc against the auction outcome.
Verified planning history
Every application on the public register for the property, verified by reference, with what was decided and on what date. Catalogue claims checked against the council register.
Constraints assessment
Each constraint plain-English. Dealbreakers separated from minor flags. Sources cited per item.
Conditions and route forward
What can be done under PD, what needs a prior approval route, what needs full planning, and the route we would take if it were our money. Every jargon term glossed on first use. A specific recommendation, with the trade-offs called out.
Comparable approvals
A digested table of nearby applications, with a title row carrying the borough name and search date. References as live links to the council register. What the pattern teaches about what this council actually approves on this street.
Action panel
A six-row table at the front of the report. Each row pairs a risk with a status (red, amber, green), the action needed, an indicative cost and a clear when. The first thing a buyer reads, before any prose.
Plain English glossary
A six-term box covering MCIL2, CIL, prior approval, Class MA, pre-commencement condition and the other terms most likely to trip up a non-planner. Defined where it sits, not buried at the back.
Methodology, sources and disclaimer
Every fact traced to a named public source. Every uncertainty flagged plainly. A warmer disclaimer that makes the limits of an indicative assessment explicit without losing the buyer.

Data alongside the document

Every Pro Report comes as a PDF plus a structured data file

The PDF is the report you read. The data file (a JSON file) holds the same information in a format your team or your software can use, so the report becomes searchable and reusable, not stuck in a document. If you do not have a tech team, ignore the data file - the PDF is everything you need.

For developers, brokers, lenders and finders
  • No more re-typing numbers from a PDF into Excel.
    The same data as the report, in a file your spreadsheet can read. Hand it to your team and the prices, costs, dates and references are already filled in.
  • Compare every property you look at, side by side.
    Drop the file into a table and sort by price, by location, by which deal works best. See ten properties at once instead of ten separate PDFs.
  • Ask Claude or ChatGPT real questions about your sites.
    "Which of my sites has the lowest planning risk?" "Which breaks even fastest?" The file answers, no copy-pasting required.
  • One ready-made record for your accountant, your lender or your partners.
    Same format every time. Sourced, signed-off, and identical for every property. Hand it over without rewriting anything.
  • Save 2-3 hours per property you research.
    If you look at 10 sites a month, that is a full day of admin returned. If you look at 50, the file pays for itself many times over.

Need CSV instead of JSON? Reply to your delivery email and we will send the comparables and sensitivity grid as separate sheets within a working day.

Common questions

Questions, answered straight

How is this different from a chartered planner or a RICS surveyor?
A chartered planner gives you a verbal opinion or a long-form planning advice note over 4 to 6 weeks for £1,500 to £5,000. A RICS surveyor gives you a Red Book valuation in 2 to 3 weeks for £750 to £1,500 and ignores planning route entirely. We give you both halves of the question (planning route AND indicative numbers AND tax position) in 24 hours for £395. Every fact traceable to a named public source. No-one else combines this scope at this speed.
Is this a valuation or formal planning advice?
No. It is something different and, for what auction buyers actually need, better. A Red Book valuation costs £1,500 and takes three weeks. A solicitor opinion ignores planning. Both cost more than the lot is worth checking. The Pro Report sits in the gap, designed for the moment between finding a lot and bidding on it: indicative ranges, traced to public sources, with every uncertainty flagged. Use it to decide whether the lot is worth pursuing. Then, if it is, instruct a Red Book valuation knowing what you are buying.
What is the report based on?
Every fact is traceable to a named public source: the local planning authority register, planning.data.gov.uk for constraints, the Environment Agency long-term flood risk service, HM Land Registry Price Paid Data for comparable values, BCIS-aligned build cost benchmarks, the relevant CIL and s.106 schedules, the national permitted development rules, and the SDLT and construction VAT framework. Every uncertainty is flagged plainly. Nothing is invented.
When do I pay?
Not when you order. You give the property details first; we confirm we can do the report and flag anything that affects timing; only then do we send a secure £395 payment link. The 24-hour turnaround starts from payment, and the price is fixed before you pay.
What if you cannot do my property?
You pay nothing. If we cannot deliver - because the LPA portal is offline, the planning history is too sparse to anchor a verdict, or anything else stops us from holding our standard - we say so up front and refund any payment in full. We would rather lose the sale than ship a thin report.
What if the report is not what you promised?
Two layers of guarantee. (1) 14-day quality guarantee: every Pro Report carries a banded verdict, a 6-row action panel, indicative figures with sensitivity, sourced citations and a Financial position section. If yours arrives missing any of those, reply within 14 days for a full refund - no questions, no conditions, no admin charge. (2) Service guarantee: 24-hour turnaround from payment. If we miss by 24 hours we refund half. Miss by 48 hours and we refund the lot.
Will my address or contact details be used for marketing?
No. Your address is used to produce your report and nothing else. We do not sell or share contact data, and we do not run remarketing on you after delivery. Standard GDPR. The data file we deliver is yours.
Can I use the Pro Report in a lender pack or planning application?
For a pre-bid or pre-commitment decision, yes - that is what the report is for. For a regulated submission (a Red Book lender pack, a formal planning application with a viability statement, a committee report), a chartered planner or RICS valuer must sign off the work. We are building the Expert Report tier (chartered-planner signed, £950) for that case. Ask us if you need it now and we can refer you.
