Planning permission has been granted by Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council under application 25/1092/FUL for:
“Conversion of upper floors of an existing building to create 3no. flats with rear dormer roof extension.” The application was approved on 9 September 2026 and incorporates amended plans together with a preliminary bat survey. The approved scheme provides an exciting opportunity to create three residential flats above the existing commercial accommodation, with a proposed rear dormer extension enhancing the upper-floor accommodation.
Internally, the upper floors are in a condition requiring comprehensive renovation, with evidence of water ingress, damaged plasterwork, deteriorated ceilings and general disrepair. The existing commercial layout, together with the prominent position on Hannah Street, provides potential for continued commercial occupation while the upper floors are redeveloped, subject to the purchaser's requirements and the terms of any existing occupation.

They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction. Virtually every property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we expect will be set within the Guide Range or no more than 10% above a single figure Guide.
By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
