Cartref's take
AI summary · cross-checks the agent's descriptionThis is a vacant office building with planning permission to convert floors 1-3 into 18 flats, plus permission to build 13 new apartments on top, totalling 31 units. The conversion falls under permitted development rules, which speeds up the process and reduces costs compared to full planning application. Location is central Chelmsford with good access. Major drawbacks: no parking provision, tenure is unknown (critical for lenders and buyers), and EPC rating isn't available. The building appears to have no garden space. This is a developer or experienced investor play rather than a residential purchase, requiring significant capital, project management, and market knowledge to execute profitably. Suit experienced property developers or investment groups with conversion expertise and access to construction finance.
(31 UNITS) Permitted Development opportunity for the change of use floors 1 - 3 from office use (class B1(a)) to eighteen residential units (class C3) alongside the Construction of 13 New Build apartments above with access from 31 Springfield Road.
