Commanding Nuclear Bunker
Nuclear Command Bunker, Perthshire (c) 2014 FPA
Around May 2011 an interesting subterranean structure – A Nuclear Bunker – was placed for sale with a guide of £400,000. Early in 2012 it was reported by the BBC that Lincoln based firm GCI Com Group Ltd had bought the building. Now in March 2014, the Nuclear Bunker is up for auction at a revised guide of £200,000. The auction is scheduled for 27-3-2014. Though as always, we advise readers to keep an eye out for a post-auction FTSAA bargain – [FTSAA = Failed To Sell At Auction].
For some reason here at the Unique Property Bulletin, we are finding a very high level of reader interest in these sort of subterranean bunkers.
A Vast Sized Room. Possibly The Largest of 50 (c) 2014 FPA
From UKWMO ROC Posts to Regional Government Headquarters – RGHQ, the observer posts were linked to their Group HQ by landline with a master post also having a radio backup. Each post had a HANDEL receiver, a hand operated siren and pyrotechnic maroon, enabling it to act as a warning point for the local population. Group Headquarters were linked to its adjacent Headquarters by both landline and radio for speech and telegraph. Should a link fail or a message required to be passed to a Group that wasn’t directly connected it would be relayed via another Group who had a direct connection. Each Group HQ had a landline and radio link to the Regional Government Headquarters (RGHQ). A single sideband radio transceiver was provided for the Last Ditch Network (LDN) which could be used if all ground based communications (radio and line) were disrupted. The five Sector Headquarters were additionally connected by land lines directly to the other Sectors Headquarters. Sectors had a radio studio linked into the BBC transmitter network.
There is something really eerie about the photograph of the Nuclear Bunker’s BBC newsdesk. Perish the thought of being at either end of the broadcast if ever that room would have been used for real. Making the announcements from underground, or listening to them on a battered old radio above ground in circumstances that may have existed is almost beyond where the imagination ought to go.
Auctioneer’s Description: Extremely Rare Listing – Former Regional Government Nuclear Bunker: over two floors built. Extensive potential accommodation, approximately 26,000 square foot aimed to house 150 personnel. Ripe for change of usage subject to researching and gaining necessary consents: residential, commercial, data storage, museum all potentials
Almost 50 rooms including meeting room, kitchen, generator room and staff accommodation. Also a BBC Studio!
Close to Historic Village of Comrie: rural in aspects, but within 2 hours drive of Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Nuclear Command Bunker, Perthshire (c) 2014 FPA
This purpose-built RGHQ was constructed within the camp security perimeter and was completed in 1990 and is thought to be one of the last and most technologically advanced Bunkers ever built specifically in relation to the Cold War threat. The interior of the bunker is set over two levels. It is a vast structure; the upper level is dominated by a larger open plan room of 3,552 ft² with many smaller side rooms leading off (27 in total). The lower level, circa of 13,00 ft² would have accommodated the living quarters; the original construction plans show dormitories, a hospital, a workshop, a large kitchen, and even a BBC recording studio (22 rooms in total). The bunker is served by an impressive array of life support systems, from air filtration plants, backup generators and water storage tanks. The design of the bunker is impressive as it was constructed in such a way to facilitate easy upgrading; all of the plant from the lower plant room can be hoisted out via removable concrete flooring and replaced. The property is located to the North of the historic camp and is surrounded by a security fence. The camp is approximately 1.6 miles South of the centre of Comrie and 0.7 miles from the edge of the village, 27 miles West of Perth, 28 miles West of Dundee.

Plodding Down In Price
The Old Police Station, Ince, Wigan (c) 2014 Roy Pugh
This listing is an important illustration of two things:-
1] Why FTSAA – Failed To Sell At Auction is an important phenomenon for the benfit of unique property buyers.
2] Why it is a good idea to research back through older copies of Unique Property Bulletin and the Unique Property Archive in order to see whether there are any tasty properties that you like, and which, by virtue of time passing, mean the owner may be a little more flexible in the level of price that may be acceptable.
In other words, by mining information you may find a bargain as well as your unique home.
This listing: an old cop-shop first appeared on our radar around 10th July 2012 with an upper guide of £200,000 as Lot 65 in Pugh & Co Auction…
http://www.pugh-auctions.com/Lot/Manchester/20120710/065
The Old Police Station, Ince, Wigan (c) 2014 Eddisons
At that time it was withdrawn from the auction. This happens occasionally. The key is to follow the progress of any given property over what can be a fairly long duration. We featured this particular police station previously on 16th February 2014 – about two thirds of the way down in that edition of the …
Unique Property Bulletin 16 February 2014
In fact, with a little help from techniques in Unique Property Manual this lot can be traced back way to 28th February 2008 auction as Lot 63 where the Planning Permission for change of use to offices (A/07/68686) was referenced – effective 18th May 2007.
Now we can see this lot going for under the £100,000 mark. So the two guidelines mentioned earlier in this listing hold true. With patience and perseverance you can progress well.
Location: The Old Police Station, 492 Warrington Road, Ince, Wigan, WN3 4TB.
Tenure: Long Leasehold – Leasehold for the residue of the term of 999 years from 1 November 1889, subject to a yearly rent of £16.89.
Guide: £100,000 – Lot 29 Due For Auction – again – 8th April 2014. Always remember FTSAA. Given the length of time this property has been for sale – and you might politely mention the timeline with factual references – a bargain could be there for you. Anywhere between £50,000 and £80,000 depending on how much brass is in your neck!

Old Waterbarn & Crickets
Former Waterbarn Baptist Church (c) 2104 Alexander Kapp
An interesting auction lot at a relatively low buy-in price. Not just a former church, but a cricket ground is included. Possibly just as well that an open piece of cricket grassland is available because the immediate environs of the church still have the mortal remains of family and friends from within the community. Some sensitivity is needed with this one. For sure you couldn’t have your pet labardor digging away with his paws in your new garden.
Auctioneer’s Description: A vacant former church in need of significant modernisation. Adjoining former cricket ground and associated buildings. Potential for redevelopment, subject to obtaining the necessary consents. Although not internally inspected, we understand that the property comprises a derelict two storey former Baptist church and adjoining community centre. Adjacent to the church is the Waterbarn Recreation Ground which provides a former cricket pitch together with two interconnected buildings, which were previously the cricket pavilion.
Former Waterbarn Baptist Church (c) 2104 Bat & Ball
Whilst we have not measured, we understand that the property provides the following accommodation:
Former Baptist Church: Approximately 297.5sq m (3,202sq ft).
Cricket/Community Centre: Approximately 456sq m (4,908sq ft).
Land: The auctioneer understands that the property has a total site area approximating to 3.5 acres (1.42 hectares).
Location: Former Waterbarn Baptist Church and Waterbarn Cricket Ground, Waterbarn Lane, Bacup, Rossendale, Lancashire, OL13 0NR.
Tenure: Freehold.
Guide: £50,000 – Lot 135 – Auction Date 8th April 2014. Always remember FTSAA.

Unique Property Syndicate
£100,000 Surprise
Duntulm Castle Hotel – Syndicate Candidate (c) 2014 Des Colhoun
In last week’s Bulletin we touched upon a possible Unique Property Syndicate for the old Duntulm Castle Hotel. This 28 bedroom property was reduced from £495,000 to £300,000. It has a genuinely unique view.
To our surprise we have some of our former Unique Property Syndicate members coming out to play after a long time hibernating since the current economic downturn started in 2007/2008. Within the week, we have tipped the £100,000 commitment from former syndicate members for the prospective Duntulm project. Perhaps it is as a result of our previous four hotels bought and sold by earlier Unique Property Syndicates….
A Sample Of Four Earlier Unique Property Hotel Syndicates
If there are any established members of our Unique Property Syndicate interested in progressing an offer on the Duntulm Castle Hotel, please can you revert as ASAP as the auction deadline beckons. Though of course there is always the possibility of an FTSAA, and post-auction negotiation.
For new members, we have had several questions on a similar theme. To answer any concerns – quite rightful concerns, some founding rules of our Unique Property Syndicates over the past 15 years can be summarised …
1] All funds inbound from members go directly to the solicitors. From there these funds are irrevocably mandated to go in one of only two directions. Either to buy the property in question, or to be returned, in FULL to the member concerned.
Or …
2] If the purchase of a building proceeds to completion, the specific part of the property that each member elects to purchase is formally registered as such with HM Land Registry. Title Deed for the relevant part is returned to guarantee unencumbered ownership of that part of the building to that participating member.
Then …
Plan A: to establish if the WHOLE building can be marketed in a fresh and dynamic way [as has happened with previous syndicates] so that a re-sale of the WHOLE property results in a comfortable profit margin for all participating members. We would refer new members to the first hotel we bought to have an idea of how this works at the: Hotel Room Ownership website.
This is an ideal scenario, and one which the vast majority of previous syndicate members have preferred.
Or …
Plan B: In the example where a hotel is bought, we look to selling the individual bedrooms on a 100% ownership basis of each room [NOT timeshare but Fullshare – complete ownership of spcific title]. The dynamic is to establish a hotel owned in the manner described at our Hotel Room Ownership website. By virtue of the wholesale buy-in price of any given hotel, the aim, if we follow a Plan B is to double the original value of each group of rooms each first phase syndicate member elects to buy.
For example, if a syndicate member elects to buy 5 of the 28 hotel bedrooms in this venture at £10,000 each, totalling £50,000, this particular endeavour would look to resell each room on a 100% ownership basis for around £20,000 per room. This isn’t guaranteed, but it is the plan. In fact one of our members is looking to buy 5 rooms, sell four, and keep one as a permanent holiday bolt-hole. That equates to £50,000 purchase; £80,000 on resale, plus effectively a free hotel bedroom for her and the family in perpetuity.
It should be emphasised that any new syndicate member should take independent financial advice prior to committing to any given Unique Property Syndicate. These ventures have resulted in much profit in the past, but cannot be guaranteed to return any specific amout – if at all – on any future syndicate. Prospective new members need to understand the risk elements involved in any such endeavour, regardless of how successful past Unique Property Syndicates have been.

Architecturally Unique …..
Lucid Luxury At Lake Lugano
Lake Lugano House – JM Architecture (c) 2014 Jacopo Mascheroni
This week’s Unique Architecture is another testimony as to the imagination of the human mind. What we really like, here at the Bulletin, is seeing a building design idea made real. If this unique design does it for you, and you have a building plot in the UK, we would respectfully suggest contact is made with the architect of this design.
Our offering for this segment is known as the Lugano House.
Architect’s Description: Lying on the slope of a hill, on the shores of Lake Lugano , the villa consists of two volumes organised on different levels due to the particular topography of the site. A polygonal shaped glass pavilion with rounded edges stands above a linear underground block. The living and dining room, the kitchen and storage spaces are located in the pavilion, while bedrooms, bathrooms and garage are in the lower level. Each level relates itself with independent outdoor spaces, which are closely related with the interiors. The glass pavilion overlooks two very defined areas: the first, toward the mountain, is a very private zone resulted in the area between the property line and the building setback line according to the local building code. The second is a garden overlooking the lake. In the same way, the bedrooms face a garden enclosed by the building and the perimeter wall. The ring, obtained between the perimeter wall above and the pavilion, amplifies the interior space, with seems much larger than what it actually is. The ring-like space, that embraces the building on the north side, grants constant ventilation and natural light to the living areas, also due to the white cladding of the perimeter wall and white gravel which reflect the sunlight coming from the south. A night-time artificial light scene is the ideal reverse field for the lake panorama.
Lake Lugano House House Interior (c) 2014 Jacopo Mascheroni
All the additional functions of the pavilion are contained in a central lacquered wood block, which acts as a sort of a thick penetrable wall that separates the kitchen from the living room without dividing the space with doors, and in which are located the powder room, the kitchen, the stairs, bookcases, all mechanical systems and the technological and audio-video equipment. Considerable attention is given to the environmental aspects, as the use of geothermal energy, roof gardens, the rain-water collection system, the choice of highly efficient low-emittance glass insulated with argon gas, to optimise the thermal efficiency of the shell and the use of natural sun shading as the placement of deciduous trees in the south-west area of the building.
Location: Wherever You Want – Wherever Your Building Plot Is.
Tenure: Freehold/Leasehold – As per your Land Title Deeds.
