Mixed Use

Property Description:

Ideal investment opportunity with planning permission to create four residential flats.

A two-storey detached building currently let generating £17,000 per annum. To the ground floor, is a retail unit with an apartment above having separate access.

There is also planning consent to convert the retail space into a residential dwelling and extend the building to create a total of four apartments. With the demand in the area for rental properties very high, this offers a lucrative proposition. Prospective buyers are advised to make all necessary independent enquiries prior to placing their bid as this will be binding.

The building is situated along Luton High Street giving good access to bus, rail and airport links. There is a massive demand for short term lets within the area as well as longer term lets. National and local retailers operate within the vicinity.

Interested parties are advised to inspect the legal pack and Medway Council Planning portal MC/23/0782 for more information.

Note

Please be advised that the auctioneers have not personally inspected the property. Prospective buyers are advised to make a viewing enquiry and any other necessary independent enquiries before placing their bid, as this will be binding.

Tenure:

Freehold. Subject to tenancy.
