A guy we know tried for ten years to purchase some land between two bungalows, the owner wasn’t selling, eventually the owner died & his daughter agreed to sell the land, so the purchase went ahead, planning permission was granted & so the building of a large dormer bungalow began, building was held up a couple of times as his own house sale fell through twice eventually selling for twenty grand under valuation, the building resumed & was eventually completed, the bungalow was valued at £420,000 due to the stunning unspoilt views, he had been in the bungalow for less than eight Months when he discovered that the unspoilt views were going to turn into 5000 new builds, 250 of them to be affordable housing, his dream home is now up for sale at much less than valuation.
