Commercial Property
A vacant Grade II listed former office building, public toilets and associated land situated at the driveway entrance to Yardley Cemetery.
We understand that the land is Leasehold subject to a new 125 year Lease at a peppercorn Ground Rent. The Lease is to include a specific requirement for the purchaser to refurbish and bring back the property into beneficial residential occupation within a period of 24 months of the purchase. The purchaser will also be required to separate all shared service connections within a 2 month period of the purchase. Vacant possession will be given upon completion.
We understand that the site extends to some 256 sq.m. (306 sq.yds.) or thereabouts.
Any conversion of the building will require Listed Building consent. Residential conversion may be considered, however this would depend on the acceptability and quality of the scheme and sensitive treatment of the buildings fabric.
Mains services are understood to be available in the vicinity of the property, but prospective purchasers should make their own independent enquiries as to the suitability of services for their particular requirements.
The property is sold subject to, or with the benefit of any rights of way, wayleaves, easements, restrictive covenants etc. which may exist whether mentioned in these particulars or not.
1. Please note that no offers will be accepted prior or post to the Auction.
2. The property will be sold on the understanding that the 10% deposit must be paid by a Banker’s Draft made payable to SDL Bigwood. No other means of payment will be accepted and failure to do so will result in the property being re-offered for sale.
3. In addition to the purchase price, the purchaser will be required to pay the Council’s professional fees of £1,250.
