Fitted out as a one bed / studio this would sell in the low end of £200-300k If you're a property developer 30k for the land actually seems cheap.

(Streatham Rail is about 25 mins from the city of London)

I suspect that they are not allowed to turn it into a home due to daylight and ventilation requirements. It certainly can't be rented out. So instead they sell it as a basement, and let the owner fix it themselves. Meaning that the property develop just got 30k for an otherwise useless basement.

Yeah it's actually suspiciously cheap.

I suspect like many basements it doesn't have full head height. Probably requires excavation + foundation work etc.
