Description

Land at Beeches Farm, Marlow Road, Lane End, High Wycombe, Bucks, HP14 3DL

Palace Auctions is pleased to bring to market this parcel of agricultural land situated south west of Beeches Farm on Marlow Road, Lane End — a site we believe holds genuine long-term hope value for patient investors and landowners.

The land lies close to Booker Airfield (Wycombe Air Park) and benefits from proximity to the aerodrome's associated commercial development, an area that has seen sustained interest and incremental change over recent years. While the site itself carries no current planning permission or formal allocation, its position within this evolving pocket of Buckinghamshire — combined with the Chilterns' enduring appeal and the borough's ongoing pressure for land — is what underpins its speculative, long-term appeal. Any future development would be entirely subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents from Buckinghamshire Council.

The site benefits from a level topography, making it easy to walk and assess on any visit. Communication links are strong for a rural plot: M40 Junction 4 is close by, and bus routes 32A, 34 and 40 run regularly into High Wycombe, connecting to the mainline station in under 30 minutes.

Amenities

Lane End village is a short distance away, with a Londis convenience store, pharmacy, and local dining options. The Chiltern Hills and Hellfire Caves are both within easy reach, adding to the area's long-term residential and leisure appeal.

A Note on Hope Value

This is a speculative, long-term land holding, not a site with any guarantee — or, at this stage, any application — for development. Its value lies in its location and prospects over time, rather than in any present-day consent. Prospective purchasers should treat this purely as a long-term proposition and are strongly advised to carry out their own thorough due diligence, including with Buckinghamshire Council's planning department, before bidding.

Registered bidders can download the full legal pack, view site plans and aerial imagery, and consult our auction bidding guide.

Guide Prices

A guide price (to include a range of prices), is not an indication of the anticipated eventual selling price or a valuation; it is an indication of the minimum price ( “the Reserve” ) at which (or range of prices within which) the seller might be prepared to sell. The eventual sale price can and frequently does, exceed the guide price.

Where a range is given, the Reserve will sit within that range and will not exceed the top end of the range. Where a single figure Guide Price is given, the Reserve will be within 10%, upwards or downwards, of that figure.

The guide price may be subject to change up to and including the day of the auction. The latest published guide price (or range of prices) is displayed on our website, and you should check the website regularly for updates and on the day of the auction.

All guide prices are quoted “subject to contract”.

Please note the guide price for the Lot does not include: – any Buyers’ Fee charged by the auctioneers; – VAT on the sale price; – SDLT or any other Government taxes.

Additional costs and fees charged by the seller or third parties that might apply to some Lots and/or some buyers.

If a guide price is listed as “TBA”, it means no guide price has been set at present. Please do call our office about this. The guide price, or range of prices, will be published online immediately it becomes available and you should check the auction website regularly for updates and on the day of the auction.

Reserve Prices

The reserve price is the minimum price at which the Lot can be sold.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure that the advertised guide prices are up to date. it is possible that the reserve price set for any Lot may exceed the previously quoted guide price. This is because the seller may fix the final reserve price just before the Lot is offered for sale and you should check the website regularly for updates and on the day of the auction.

Buyers Premium 

A buyer’s premium is an additional charge that successful bidders are required to pay on top of their final bid price at a property auction. This fee is typically a percentage of the final bid and is paid directly to the auction house. It serves as a kind of commission for the auctioneer’s services. The exact percentage can vary depending on the auction house. At Palace Auctions our buyers premium on Property (Real Estate sales) is normally £5000 plus vat. It is usually clearly stated in the auction’s terms and conditions. It’s crucial for bidders to factor in the buyer’s premium when determining their maximum bid, as it significantly affects the total cost of the property.

Standard Contract and Administration fees and additional charges (every sale or purchase). 

For each Lot, a documentation charge / Fee is payable on the fall of the hammer to Palace Auctions as follows:

Residential Auctions – Lots sold for £10,000 or more: Buyers’ Fee of £1,500 inclusive of VAT.

You are strongly advised to read the Special Conditions of Sale for the Lot prior to bidding to check for any additional charges and fees and to check the addendum which might also (but does not always) contain details of such amounts.

VAT may be chargeable in addition to the sale price for the Lot. The auctioneer will announce this and will be contained within the particulars.
