Residential Development Land Sold in Tiptree, Essex

The Beresfords Land Team were instructed to sell a residential development opportunity to the rear of 3 Station Road in Tiptree, Essex. The site benefitted from full planning permission for a single detached dwelling.

Following challenges during the sales process, including a couple of buyers withdrawing prior to completion, Beresfords successfully secured a committed purchaser who proceeded to complete, delivering a successful outcome for the landowner.

The site comprised approximately 0.05 acres (STLS) of land formerly used as garden and garaging associated with 3 Station Road. Access was provided via Cherry Chase, with the plot located within a well-established residential area of Tiptree and within walking distance of local amenities.

The land benefitted from full planning permission for a new two-storey, three-bedroom detached dwelling, making it an attractive opportunity for private buyers and small-scale developers seeking a single-unit residential scheme.

The landowner’s objective was to achieve a successful sale of the site with planning consent in place, securing a purchaser who could proceed through to completion following previous aborted transactions.

After two prospective purchasers pulled out prior to completion, the Beresfords Land Team maintained momentum on the instruction by re-engaging with the market, carefully managing enquiries, and targeting committed buyers. Clear communication and structured presentation of planning and site information helped reduce risk and rebuild confidence in the opportunity.

The site benefitted from full planning permission granted by Colchester Borough Council for a proposed new two-storey detached dwelling to the rear of the existing property. 

Beresfords successfully secured a purchaser who proceeded to completion, resulting in the successful sale of the land despite earlier transactional challenges.
