A substantial 1.2-acre freehold site in Solihull offered at public auction — a blank canvas for an investor or developer prepared to secure planning. The rectangular former depot includes a derelict mid-century single-storey brick building and large areas of hardstanding and overgrown land, with vehicle access and ample off-street parking from Clopton Crescent.
No planning consent is in place, but the site is described as potentially suitable for educational, community or residential uses subject to formal planning approval. Certain mains services are understood to be nearby; buyers must verify service connections, ground conditions and contamination themselves before bidding. Access to the building is restricted for health and safety reasons.
This lot suits a buyer comfortable with an auction purchase process — vacant possession on completion, strict legal pack and pre-registration requirements, and an administration fee payable on the fall of the gavel. The location sits within a deprived area with high local crime figures and slow broadband, factors to weigh against the site’s scale and redevelopment potential.
For an experienced developer, local authority or community group that secures the right consents and conducts full investigations, the site offers significant redevelopment scope in a major conurbation. For others, the condition, potential remediation costs and planning uncertainty represent material risks.
