Having read your post I have traced the loan back to its original listing and the appended VR which values the original bungalow, which occupied the site, at £350k and, before a spade was thrust into the ground and maybe before the valuer saw the proposals, although available at Wirrell BC. the GDV was given as £800k.
I have been to visit the site a number of times and consider the development to be well executed and only needing the extensive external works to be completed, as for value £800k would be a huge steal!
To quote the VR;
'appraising a value to the completed building is more difficult and will rely more upon the standard and quality of the build'

Photos taken 3pm today (31st August). The first two are from the front, the rest from the public footpath that runs up the left hand side of the property.
Quite a lot of workmen on site, the green stuff in the garden is artificial turf ! (Err ... if i'm paying 7 figures for a house, I want a landscaped garden please ... oh and I'm concerned my Lambo will be damaged by the unadopted potholed road it faces  . In all seriousness I decided I wasn't going to take my no longer new citroen down that road and walked it instead). That said I suspect this one will indeed sell for a premium price.

This one appears to have taken a confusing turn for the worse. The last few updates have suggested all is not what it would seem, while today it has been formally declared as unredeemed. Given the apparent value of the property, I can only imagine the danger is in a dispute of the charge? But I also know there's myriad new ways for me to be wrong....

sure does - although BrummieFrederick has seen it and was positive.
Considering this chap paid about £350K plus stamp duty for the plot and to demolish what looked a perfectly nice bungalow I am anything but convinced this was a sound business move.
Although the finish looks good overall I really don't like flat roofs nor the internal layout of this one especially as I don't think it is making good use of what is a very large internal area, I think the house is ugly (just my opinion) and building a house of this size would be very expensive. I am also concerned about what I believe to be the unadopted road. Looking at the FS DD etc it looks to me as if the developer ran out of money and underestimated the time and expense to finish the house (tell me about it!).
I am confused as to how much work has to be done and as I have said before it is not easy to simply carry on with another contractor if needed.
I am not convinced this is a £1.4m house even if finished - however the original £550K loan is over 6 months late so if we take £0.5m at 20% that is £100K in interest alone so I am glad I am not in the supplementary loans!
My instinct (often wrong) is that this one will just about comes good - interesting one to follow!

I had a phone call from FS this afternoon telling me this loan will repay early part of next week, the chap that phoned seemed ok and sounded genuine, hopefully the new owners can turn things round, time will tell.

Interesting, how did it come about he phoned you?, previously in my experience they dont update individual lenders you have to wait for on site update to all

If that's the case then this is a very positive result. This looked like a pretty safe loan, then suddenly seemed to take a grim turn, as so many others have. For a relatively quick resolution after swift action would be very welcome. As said, if it actually happens....

They just phoned out of the blue, I’ve got a fair bit invested in the loan so maybe that’s the reason.

Unfortunately the 3rd ranking facility takes a massive hit.

Said it wasn't a £1.4m house!
That said I am not convinced a better price could not have been achieved?
An 84% loss in the second supplementary loan is nothing to write home about but good result for the other charge holders...
