Land On The North Side Of Blaenavon Road, Blaenavon, Brynmawr, Gwent, NP23 4BU

Description

A rare chance to acquire approximately 113 acres of rolling land between Brynmawr and the town of Blaenavon. The site extends to approximately 113 acres of open, rolling land, which includes registered common land and is sold subject to the existing common land rights. A well-maintained cycle path runs alongside part of the boundary. Stunning panoramic views across the surrounding landscape. Historic land, largely undisturbed since medieval times, with notable biodiversity, geology and prehistoric interest. A rare chance to own a substantial piece of Welsh heritage landscape. The land may suit buyers looking for a long-term amenity or conservation holding, and could offer income from sporting or grazing rights, subject to the existing common rights. Buyers should make their own enquiries. The Land Registry title number is CYM682569.

Location

The land sits at the gateway to the South Wales Valleys, within the Blaenavon Industrial Landscape World Heritage Site and partly within the Brecon Beacons National Park. It’s close to Big Pit National Coal Museum, Blaenavon Ironworks and the Heritage Railway, and the area is popular with walkers, cyclists and mountain bikers.

Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The £100,000 guide is the only current pricing indication. The sole supplied comparable, Rhas Fawr Farm, sold for £125,000 in August 2016, but it is described only as “Other” and no acreage, rights, condition or attributes are supplied, so it is not sufficiently comparable for a reliable current market value or GDV. The land is approximately 113 acres, includes registered common land and is subject to existing common land rights. No supported development, income or resale valuation is available.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Consider only as a long-term amenity, conservation or landholding purchase after legal, title, access, common-rights and planning due diligence. Do not underwrite it as a BTL, BRRR or conventional flip on the supplied evidence.

Works Required

No physical works are evidenced. The buyer should review title CYM682569, common land rights, boundaries, access, the adjoining cycle path, National Park and World Heritage Site context, and any potential grazing or sporting arrangements through the legal pack and independent enquiries.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

A BRRR strategy cannot be supported. There is no evidenced residential accommodation, refurbishment plan, rental income or GDV, and refinancing at 75% of GDV cannot be calculated. The known purchase-related costs at the £100,000 guide are £1,800 buyer premium and £2,040 administration charge, giving £103,840 before any legal-pack disbursements or other charges.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL is not applicable on the supplied evidence. No dwelling, accommodation or sufficiently specific rental comparable is provided, and no passing rent or auctioneer rent estimate is available. Yield cannot be established.

Flip Analysis

A flip cannot be reliably assessed because no supported resale value, development consent, income-producing use or selling-cost allowance is provided. The 2016 £125,000 comparable is too limited to establish current resale value for this approximately 113-acre holding.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The land includes registered common land and is sold subject to existing common land rights.

• The site is partly within the Brecon Beacons National Park and within the Blaenavon Industrial Landscape World Heritage Site, which may affect potential uses and should be investigated.

• The land has stated biodiversity, geological and prehistoric interest, requiring appropriate due diligence before assuming any change of use.

• No sufficiently specific rental evidence or auctioneer rent estimate is available, so income cannot be underwritten.

• Additional charges may be payable, including legal-pack disbursements, search fees, seller-cost reimbursement, legal fees and transfer fees.

• The supplied comparable is a single 2016 transaction with insufficient detail to support a current valuation.

Recommendation

Consider only as a long-term amenity, conservation or landholding purchase after legal, title, access, common-rights and planning due diligence. Do not underwrite it as a BTL, BRRR or conventional flip on the supplied evidence.
