Unique Property Club Candidate ~ The Old Tower

Latest News & 2025 Candidate Club Purchase Property

The Old Tower At Binnhill

Unique Property Club members are currently choosing from a selection of candidate buildings. The one that already has half the funds reserved and favoured as the first of Unique Property Club’s 2025 purchase + planning-permission renewal +resale is the tower pictured at the top of this page. The price is likely to be somewhere between…

£13,500 to £28,500.

Or for example, in terms of members joining in…

2 x £500 + 3 x £1,000 and  4 x £2,000 Shares.

(some shares have gone already: hence the dissonance of the numbers of shares left)

This has lapsed planning consent to convert into a home.

If this becomes UPC number 31, we will renew the planning permission and auction the tower in London.

What would a remote tower home with broadband and off-grid design sell for in London?

We have a fair few readers wanting to be far from the madding crowd.

Especially after that horrendous pandemic”

Our social media numbers have proven to help this…

186,399

Not all buildings are actively for sale. The tower pictured above was offered to us for £30,000 ten years ago in 2015 after the owner’s father passed away. The tower has been floating on and off “for sale” the market ever since. It kind of needs an publication tat specialises in helping selling unusual buildings (though we are NOT an estate agency – perish the thought). But over the past 40 years we have assisted in introducing many sellers and buyers.

So the occasional property we buy and sell helps keep the bills paid at this publication and produces many interesting and financially beneficial projects for our Unique Property Club members too (here).

With respect to unique buildings not being actively promoted for sale, we can share our Big-Box-of-Unique-Property-Magic with Club members. That frequently finds off-market property and achieves an off-market purchase price! That is part of the enjoyment at Unique Property Club ~ a good old haggle before another unique adventure begins.

For example, we were offered the tower for sale (pictured above) in 2015 at £30,000. Instead, Unique Property Club #24 ended up buying the Noss Head Lighthouse Station + 6 building + 33 acres of land for £200,000…

Whole Site + 6 Lighthouse Buildings

Bought By UPC Number 24 on 23rd May 2017 For £200,000.

Moving forward, following completion of several other Unique Property Club projects and 8 years to 2025. The club members are choosing the 2025 project.

The choice so far…

We did look at this tower for sale (again) with lapsed planning permission to turn into a home. The tower is striking in appearance and has genuinely awesome views. The most appetising part this time around is the history of sale prices. The PREVIOUS PRICE sold as recorded by HM Land Registry that caught our eye…

Sold in 2015 For £28,500

BUT…

Resold in 2023

For Just £13,500.

Curious?

Let’s have a quick look at what is coming back up for sale and Unique Property Club is in fresh “price haggle mode”…

Tumby Railway Station For Sale With Planning Permission

^^ Tumby Railway Station ^^

.

This is, in the view of Unique Property Bulletin, is a “hidden gem.” It may look very tired and dilapidated, but when you study some of the several dozen restored railway stations all across the U.K., on handsome big plots of former railway land, plus the installation of renewed railway tracks with a couple of railway carriages added onto on them, then this becomes an exciting place to live.

Especially, if you work from home, and were to choose to ADD a couple of railway carriages onto your land! Then one railway carriage could be used as your unique “home office”.

So instead of taking 251 hours commuting hours each year (Source: here), travelling to and from a distant office, you can spend those 251 hours that you just freed-up, doing something you enjoy.

Example of Food on The Move!

You have plenty of spare time now for a relaxed journey to work because your “commute” now takes just 30 seconds as you wander across from your own, exclusive railway station cafeteria, with a hot, fresh cup of coffee and a crispy bacon roll, catching your 8.30am rail connection from Tumby Woodside Station, to Tumby Woodside Station. Or even a 90 second commute to Tumby Signal Box Land where there is full planning permission to build a Signal Box (not included in the Railway Station sale ~ the Signal Box newbuild land is by separate negotiation. Quick peak but don’t tell anyone yet 🙂 : Click Here).

It’s “all board” your own railway carriage where you can have a First Class service for the whole of your day at work.

Railway Coaches NOT Included

But we would recommend you consider adding one of these styles of railway carriages to the Tumby Railway Station renovation project…

NOT Included, But We Would Recommend Adding These!
.

^^ An EXAMPLE of Railway Carriages ^^

^^ These Make Excellent Garden Offices ^^

 Also these are excellent holiday rentals.

Easy enough to have two of these.

They are meant to travel together!

For folk who enjoy a “passive income” of several hundred pounds extra each month, then a second railway coach would bring this railway bounty to your door.

All the while, you can be “remote-working” at your garden-office in the other railway carriage  along the tracks.

The renovation of the main Tumby Railway Station Building HAS a current and “live” planning permission.

Although any addition ~ such as railway coaches ~ is likely to need a separate planning permission. That is not obligatory. To install railway carriages onto a railway site is something we have seen other folk complete ~ and they have enjoyed the process and do not have any regrets.

The local councils tend to want the derelict stations brought back to life and provide much needed housing. Plus the hidden gem for each council is they get £1,000 and more every year for hundreds of years in new Council Tax!
