Land at Sanquhar Industrial Estate, Sanquhar, Dumfries and Galloway, DG4 6JN

Description

Substantial parcel of development land within the established Sanquhar Industrial Estate. Planning permission has been granted under application 24/1884/FUL for 5 Class 4, 5 and 6 commercial units. The site is approximately 2 acres and is described as suitable for commercial or industrial uses, including future commercial expansion, industrial use, storage, investment or longer-term development.

Location

Situated within Sanquhar's principal commercial area with access to the A76, providing road links to Dumfries, Kilmarnock and Glasgow. Sanquhar railway station is nearby with services to Glasgow, Dumfries and Carlisle. The site is close to local amenities, schools and services in Sanquhar.

Investment Analysis

The £110,000 guide is the only pricing evidence and is not a formal valuation. No completed sales, rental evidence, development costs, GDV or buyer premium amount were supplied. The site benefits from stated planning permission under application 24/1884/FUL for five Class 4, 5 and 6 commercial units, but a residual land valuation cannot be completed without unit specifications, build costs, infrastructure costs, professional fees, finance, programme, end values and selling assumptions.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Undertake planning, title, service, access and residual appraisal due diligence before bidding. Proceed only if independent end-value and development-cost evidence supports the purchase price and risk allowance.

Works Required

Progress the permitted development only after reviewing the full planning permission and conditions, legal title, services, access and site constraints. The evidence supports potential construction of five commercial units, but provides no reliable scope or cost for groundworks, utilities, roads, drainage, buildings or professional services.

Rental & Market Context

Potential BRRR Position

BRRR analysis is not supportable because there is no completed income-producing asset, GDV, construction budget, rent, finance cost or refinance evidence. The stated planning permission may support development potential, but does not establish refinance value or cash released.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL analysis is not supportable from the evidence. No completed units, unit sizes, tenant demand, achieved rents or operating costs are provided. The auctioneer has supplied no rent estimate and no sufficiently specific rental comparable was identified.

Flip Analysis

A development flip cannot be quantified. The guide is £110,000, but there are no supported end values, construction costs, professional fees, infrastructure allowances, finance costs, selling costs or programme assumptions. Any residual land value and profit calculation would therefore be speculative.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Planning permission and all conditions should be independently reviewed; the permission does not by itself confirm deliverability or viability.

• No development appraisal can be completed because construction, infrastructure, professional, finance and selling costs are absent.

• No end values or commercial rental evidence were supplied.

• Buyer’s Premium amount is unspecified and additional fees may apply under the Articles of Roup or Special Conditions.

• Title, access, services, ground conditions and site constraints are not evidenced.

• The guide price is not a formal market valuation.

Recommendation

Undertake planning, title, service, access and residual appraisal due diligence before bidding. Proceed only if independent end-value and development-cost evidence supports the purchase price and risk allowance.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

Evidence confirms the approximate two-acre development site, stated planning permission and £110,000 guide, but provides no comparable sales, rents, development costs, GDV, tenure, legal-pack details or quantified fees.
