Re-LeasePermittedApproval required / Validator£8,037£19,635

6-month extension preserves value against immediate disposal while residual pressure and servicing drag stay controllable.
-
Trade SalePermittedApproval required / Validator£544£12,143
Trade Sale Disposal is commercially credible for this van case, but current Trade Sale headroom is binding and a lower-friction route can clear sooner.
-
AuctionBaseline / Current PlanApproval required / Validator£0£11,599
Auction Disposal is commercially credible for this van case, but current Auction headroom is binding and a lower-friction route can clear sooner.
-
Manual ReviewPermittedApproval required / Validator-£317£11,281
