Shazam presents a rare chance for developers to transform a substantial plot into a bespoke residential development. Backing onto open fields in the idyllic Worcestershire village of Defford, this site is currently occupied by a single dwelling but has been granted Permission in Principle (ref: W/23/01224/PIP) for the construction of up to six new homes, following the demolition of the existing property.
The flexible planning approval allows developers the freedom to design a scheme that best suits their vision and market needs, offering an outstanding opportunity to create a standout residential development in a tranquil and sought-after location.


Development potential
This site is perfectly suited for a developer with vision. The permission in principle approval offers the flexibility to create up to six dwellings, enabling the new owner to shape the development to suit their strategy. The one-acre plot, combined with its stunning rural outlook and proximity to essential amenities, provides the perfect foundation for a project that maximises both creativity and market value.

Reservation Fee - refundable on exchange

A reservation fee, refundable on exchange, is payable prior to the issue of the Memorandum of Sale and after which the property may be marked as Sold Subject to Contract. The fee will be reimbursed upon the successful Exchange of Contracts.

The fee will be retained by Andrew Grant in the event that you the buyer withdraws from the purchase or does not Exchange within 6 months of the fee being received other than for one or more of the following reasons:

1. Any significant material issues highlighted in a survey that were not evident or drawn to the attention of you the buyer prior to the Memorandum of Sale being issued.
2. Serious and material defect in the seller’s legal title.
3. Local search revealing a matter that has a material adverse effect on the market value of the property that was previously undeclared and not in the public domain.
4. The vendor withdrawing the property from sale.

The reservation fee will be 0.5% of the accepted offer price for offers below £800,000 and 1% for offers of £800,000 or over. This fee, unless specified otherwise, is payable upon acceptance by the vendor of an offer from a buyer and completion of an assessment of the buyer’s financial status and ability to proceed.

Should a buyer’s financial position regarding the funding of the property prove to be fundamentally different from that declared by the buyer when the Memorandum of Sale was completed, then the Vendor has the right to withdraw from the sale and/or the reservation fee retained. For example, where the buyer declares themselves as a cash buyer but are in fact relying on an unsecured sale of their property.

Once the reservation fee has been paid, any renegotiation of the price stated in the memorandum of sale for any reason other than those covered in points 1 to 3 above will lead to the reservation fee being retained. A further fee will be levied on any subsequent reduced offer that is accepted by the vendor. This further fee will be subject to the same conditions that prevail for all reservation fees outlined above.
