Description

Midland Housing presents two adjoining freehold commercial properties on Station Road, Erdington, combining ground-floor retail accommodation with two self-contained flats above. The shops are vacant and have sales areas, rear storage, WC facilities and roller shutters; one also has a dedicated kitchen area. The units are described as approximately 602 sq ft and 720 sq ft, and their adjoining position may suit an occupier seeking a larger combined trading space. Any proposed commercial use remains subject to the relevant consents. Each flat has two bedrooms, an open-plan kitchen and lounge, a bathroom and separate rear access. The flats are currently occupied under supported accommodation leases, with the listing stating rent of £750 per calendar month for each flat. The shops are vacant, so a purchaser would need to assess their suitability and prospects for letting or occupation separately from the existing residential income. The property is described as having mains electricity, gas, water and drainage, with gas central heating and broadband availability. Erdington High Street and the railway station are within walking distance, with road links to wider Birmingham also noted. The seller’s freehold information should be verified by a solicitor. The combination of vacant commercial space and occupied residential accommodation offers scope for an owner-occupier or investor to review the existing arrangements and consider future use, subject to verification of leases, condition and any required consents.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a distinctive mixed-use project: two adjoining retail units with broad sales areas, plus two self-contained flats above that are currently occupied. The flats shown look usable, while the commercial spaces offer scope for a cosmetic refresh, including the worn flooring, dated finishes and visible ceiling defect. The Station Road position, near Erdington High Street and the railway station, adds practical appeal for occupiers and investors.

The price is the major constraint. At £650,000, the asking price is far above the local £/sqf benchmark, and even allowing for a light-to-medium programme of works, the purchase price plus works looks stretched against local benchmarks for this floor area. That comparison is with local average value, not a forecast of what the property could be worth after improvements; the strong mixed-use format and existing residential income are positives, but the numbers make this a weak overall opportunity at the current ask.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the commercial sales areas, with worn flooring and dated finishes offering a clear cosmetic improvement project.
  • The adjoining units provide a larger combined commercial footprint, with flexibility for an owner-occupier or business.
  • Two self-contained flats are currently occupied, providing existing residential income alongside the vacant shops.

Key risks

  • At the current asking price, adding the improvement programme leaves the overall outlay stretched against local benchmarks for a property of this floor area.
  • Budget carefully — economics look thin once the asking price and a mid-to-substantial refurb are combined, leaving a gap of around 79% versus area norms for this sqft — current-condition benchmarks only, not after-works GDV.
