Legal docs

PLEASE NOTE THE SLIGHT REDUCTION IN THE SALE AREA DUE TO THE AREA OF ACCESS WHICH IS DESIGNATED AS HIGHWAY AND THEREFORE NOT INCLUDED WITHIN THE SALE.

West Coker offers a Post Office/shop, butchers, primary school, two public houses, a hotel, and a petrol station. There is also a doctors’ surgery and church. Yeovil, which is about two miles away, offers a wider range of facilities. Yeovil Junction Train Station and Crewkerne Station are both within easy reach and offer regular services to London. 

The Property 

The barn comprises a block and fibre cement agricultural building with permission for conversion to a three-bedroom dwelling as shown on the plans. The proposed accommodation will have a gross internal area of about 125sqm and the plot extends in all to 0.59 of an acre. 

Method of Sale

*The guide price is the minimum price at which the seller is prepared to sell at the date of publication. 

**The reserve price is the minimum price at which the auctioneer is authorised by the seller to sell the lot at auction. 

The lot may be sold to the highest bidder at or above the reserve price, but the auctioneer is not authorised to sell at a figure below the reserve price. Both the guide price and the reserve price are subject to change. 

Potential purchasers should ensure that they register their interest in the property and regularly check for updated information regarding the property, including changes to the guide price. 

Tenure & Possession 

The freehold of the property is offered for sale with vacant possession available upon completion. 

The property will be sold subject to a covenant to use the property as a single dwellinghouse only. 

The purchaser will need to erect a new boundary fence. Further details are contained within the auction pack. 

Services 

Potential purchasers will need to establish their own service connections to service the proposed dwelling. 

Planning 

Prior Approval was granted for the change of use of the building to a dwellinghouse by Somerset Council (formerly South Somerset District Council) in December 2023 under application reference 23/02878/PAMB. 

The purchaser will be required to pay the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) payment due to the council unless they are exempt. This is £6,316.73.

Health & Safety 

Potential purchasers should take particular care when inspecting the site being mindful of uneven, slippery, and potentially steep ground surfaces.

Traditional auction

Exchange occurs at the end of the auction. This means that if the reserve is met or exceeded and the auction timer reaches zero, the successful bidder is legally obliged to pay the purchase price and the seller will be legally obliged to sell the property. To ensure that the successful bidder proceeds, the buyer is automatically charged a holding deposit, which is held in a secure client account, pursuant to the terms of a holding deposit agreement.

* Pricing Information

The Guide Price amount specified is an indication of each seller's minimum expectation. It is not necessarily the amount at which the property will sell. Each property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the property will not be sold) which we expect will be set no more than 10% above the Guide Price amount.
