Continued Success for Goadsby's Commercial and Land Departments with Sale of 1.23 Acre Winchester Development Site
The former Brendon House care home site in Winchester has been successfully sold to Alfred Homes following a comprehensive planning campaign that secured consent for the redevelopment of the site to provide eight substantial new homes.
Acting on behalf of The Brendoncare Foundation, Goadsby's Commercial and Land Departments worked closely together to market the property and secure the best possible outcome for the client. Following a competitive bidding process, a sale was agreed on a subject-to-planning basis, ultimately maximising value for the charity and its ongoing work.
This transaction marks another significant success for Goadsby's Commercial and Land teams, whose combined expertise continues to deliver outstanding results for clients with unique and often complex property assets. By providing a comprehensive service encompassing both commercial property and development land markets, Goadsby can identify opportunities that might otherwise be overlooked and attract the widest possible range of purchasers.
Over the past year, this collaborative approach has generated a substantial increase in instructions and led to the successful sale of a diverse range of properties, including former care homes, mixed-use buildings with conversion potential, private schools earmarked for repurposing as SEN facilities, and even former church properties.
Allan Pickering, Commercial Divisional Director at Goadsby, commented, "The sale of Brendon House demonstrates the benefits of combining specialist commercial and land expertise when dealing with properties that possess development or alternative-use potential. By working alongside our colleagues in the Land Department, we were able to create a competitive process that maximised value for our client and secured an excellent outcome for The Brendoncare Foundation.
Increasingly, we are helping clients unlock hidden value in a wide variety of property types. Our multidisciplinary approach enables us to provide tailored advice, reach the right buyers and achieve results that genuinely benefit our clients."
Hampshire remains one of the South's most active property markets and, with the right strategic advice, landowners, charities and businesses are continuing to reap the rewards.
