6 of the best...Properties with development potential

From former chapels and disused college dormitories to farm estates and individual private homes in need of renovation – buildings with development potential provide buyers with a unique opportunity to breathe new life into properties of all shapes and sizes.

Of course the level of expertise required will vary depending on the scale and type of property on the market. Converting a former school, for example, is a much larger – and potentially much more complex job – than redeveloping a private residence.

But in each case it’s important that any decision is not taken lightly. As well as ensuring that all the correct planning permissions are in place – especially if seeking a change of use – it’s important that you have the required level of experience and expertise at your disposal. You may also have to think about heritage planning, architecture and even acoustics.

Whether you are a seasoned developer looking for your next opportunity or an individual interested in taking on your first project – our gallery below features a variety of properties with development potential that could be suitable for a number of uses including residential, education, leisure or care facilities.
