A substantial Freehold commercial building comprising of a large ground floor retail unit and two first floor units over. The double size ground floor unit was last used as a travel agency and the first floor units appear to have been used as office and hairdressing salon. The building is located within the Mountbatten Shopping Centre with current occupants including national and local retailers. This building offers great potential for an owner occupier or investor and requires substantial repair and refurbishment. Offered with vacant possession. Hebburn is well served with road and rail transport facilities and there have been substantial numbers of new homes built in the Town over recent years.
Description and Accommodation
This is a substantial commercial building which requires repair and refurbishment but in our opinion, offers a good opportunity for either an owner occupier or commercial investor. It is located within the Mountbatten Shopping Centre with a range of occupants including national and local retailers. Number 8 is on the ground floor and would appear to be a double width unit, previously trading as a travel agency. The VOA describe the first floor units as 6 Hair Dressing Salon and 6A Offices. The gross dimensions are approximately 15m deep and 12m wide. Detailed measurements are not possible due to the internal condition.
Condition
The internal condition of the building has deteriorated in recent years and there is substantial water damage throughout, with a lot of plaster damage, especially to ceilings. For this reason all potential buyers will view at their own risk and will be required to sign a disclaimer, acknowledging that they have been advised of the risks involved. It is possible to walk through the building with care due to potential trip hazard. We have available asbestos reports showing some A3 low level risks, predominantly to floor tiles, with the advice to monitor regularly. Copies are available within the premises.
Rateable Values
According to the VOA website the current RV's are : Number 6 £1925, Number 6A £1589 and Number 8 £11,750.
Tenure
We are advised that our clients are disposing of their Freehold interest and relevant documents are available within the legal pack. We will provide as much information about tenure as we are able to and in the case of leasehold properties, we can in most cases provide a copy of the lease. They can be complex and buyers are advised to take legal advice upon the full terms of a lease. Where a lease is not readily available we will apply for a copy and this can take time.
Possession
The building is offered for sale in it's current condition and with full vacant possession. The title documents refer to 6,8 and 10 but it would appear that the units have been numbered 6, 6A and 8. Potential buyers must clarify this with their legal advisers.
