Investment Property With Development Potential

Hilton Smythe is delighted to welcome to the market this two storey investment property, which is ideally located within the town of Accrington, Lancashire. The property, which was formerly a building contractor business currently consists of two offices and a kitchen to the ground floor, as well as two storage rooms and a WC. The first floor offers 3 x self-contained flats, one of which has two bedrooms, the other two are both one bedroom. The flats are currently rented out generating a rental income of £18,000 per annum, plus a further £5,000 per annum to rent out the ground floor offices and store rooms, which our client currently uses free of charge, giving a yield of approximately 10% per annum. In addition, there are 15 self storage units, the average annual income per annum will be around £20,000. 00 and are protected by cctv cameras. Being located close to the town centre, the property is an ideal opportunity for a new owner to redevelop, perhaps into new offices or into residential apartments. The local area is being redeveloped with funding from the local council, so grants may be available upon application. Just opposite the property, planning permission has been granted for further housing. This is a fantastic opportunity for a developer or for a purchaser looking for the perfect plot for a business. The property has permission for residential and business use so could be a great investment. Hilton Smythe highly advises early viewing, to take in the full potential of this large premise.
