LAND AT KINSBOURNE GREEN, HARPENDEN

Conditions of Sale
The property will, unless previously withdrawn, be sold subject to common auction conditions and special conditions of each sale may be found in the legal documents section of the Weldon Beesly online auction page. Each purchaser shall be deemed to have notice of each condition and all the terms thereof and to bid on those terms whether they shall have inspected the said conditions or not.

The winning buyer must pay £4,000 plus VAT automatically at the end of the auction, in addition to the purchase price, of which £2,000 plus VAT is paid to the auction host, and £2,000 plus VAT is paid to Weldon Beesly.
A deposit, calculated at 10% of the purchase price, is due before 12 PM the next working day.

The property is sold subject to all existing wayleaves, easements, public or private rights of way, covenants and restrictions, whether stated in these particulars or not.
Guide Price : £70,000
Description
The land offered for sale is wholly registered as common land. The land will be offered for sale as a whole and is available for sale by public auction. It extends to 2.23 acres (0.902 hectares) in total.
The Luton Road frontages total 0.10 acres (0.040 hectares). This land comprises narrow strips of frontage along Luton Road (A1081), serving around 13 residential properties.
The frontages along the southern side of The Common lie to the west of Derwent Road. The first parcel measures 1.06 acres (0.43 hectares) and the second is smaller area of 0.05 acres (0.02 ha). Both areas are a combination of grass and trees, and benefit from some screening from the roadside.
Another parcel of 0.65 acres (0.26 hectares) lies further to the west and is more open in character and features a mature oak tree.
South of Annables Lane, the land extends to a single parcel of 0.37 acres (0.15 hectares) of open grass, fronting a residential property.
The adjoining residential occupiers enjoy rights of access across the land to reach their properties. Rights to use and maintain utility services crossing the land may have also been acquired by long use.

The freehold land is offered for sale as a whole by public auction, with bidding due to close at 12PM on Thursday 24 September 2026.
Planning, development and use
The land is Common Land in the Green Belt. As such, there are various obligations and restrictions relating to the land; particularly that the general public are entitled to access the land. Changing the use of the land requires special permission from the Secretary of State (please seek independent advice on this).

†Traditional auction
Exchange occurs at the end of the auction. This means that if the reserve is met or exceeded and the auction timer reaches zero, the successful bidder is legally obliged to pay the purchase price and the seller will be legally obliged to sell the property. To ensure that the successful bidder proceeds, the buyer is automatically charged a holding deposit, which is held in a secure client account, pursuant to the terms of a holding deposit agreement.
* Pricing Information
The Guide Price amount specified is an indication of each seller's minimum expectation. It is not necessarily the amount at which the property will sell. Each property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the property will not be sold) which we expect will be set no more than 10% above the Guide Price amount.
