Description

A freehold mixed-use property comprising a ground-floor shop, a self-contained one-bedroom flat above and a separate two-bedroom mews house to the rear. The shop is occupied under a commercial lease that will continue after completion. The residential accommodation is accessed separately from the shop, and the property also includes a small courtyard or patio area. The sale brings three distinct units together under one freehold title. The flat and mews house are preferably to be sold with their existing tenancies, subject to the agreed sale terms. Details of the leases, tenancies and current income are available from Look Property Services Ltd. The listing notes possible scope for refurbishment or further enhancement, subject to the necessary consents and approvals, so buyers should establish the condition, legal arrangements and feasibility of any proposed works as part of their due diligence.

Our WHOTS verdict

80out of 100
Grade AStrong opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a distinctive mixed-use freehold, bringing together a tenanted shop, a one-bedroom flat and a separate two-bedroom mews house, with separate residential access and a small courtyard. At £725,000, the asking price is about £487/sq ft against a local average of £636/sq ft, making the below-average entry price a clear acquisition opportunity. The photographed homes look generally usable, leaving scope for a light refresh and a tidy-up of the worn courtyard and external finishes rather than a major overhaul.

The numbers score strongly, with the existing renovation midpoint of £5,750 included in the stated £730,750 purchase-plus-works figure; that comparison is against implied local average value, not a GDV, and excludes stamp duty and fees. The main diligence is understanding the commercial lease, current tenancies, rents and terms across all three units before purchase.

Key opportunities

  • Acquire a shop, one-bedroom flat and separate two-bedroom mews house under a single freehold title, with potential for diversified income.
  • The asking price is around 23% below the local average £/sq ft, providing an attractive entry point.
  • Refresh the worn courtyard and external finishes while making modest improvements to the generally usable residential spaces.

Key risks

  • Check the commercial lease, tenant obligations and income, and confirm the residential tenancy terms and rental details for both homes.
