Nottingham Road, Loughborough

For Sale By Public Auction.

An opportunity to acquire a freehold mixed-use investment property comprising a ground floor commercial unit (No. 81) and a self-contained three-bedroom flat above (No. 81A).

No. 81 is currently let as a dance studio under a 1954 Act commercial tenancy, providing an immediate and established income stream. The commercial unit has a current passing rent of £7,800 per annum. The space offers a entrance space, studio, kitchen, store and WC. There is also access to a courtyard rear garden.

No. 81A, previously let on a residential tenancy, is now vacant and would benefit from a scheme of modernisation and redecoration. The accommodation is spread across two floors with the first floor including the lounge/diner, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. On the second floor, two further bedrooms can be found. Following refurbishments we would expect the property to achieve £900pcm.

When fully let, the combined residential and commercial income would generate £19,200 per annum, equating to a gross yield of 9.8% (based on the auction guide price), and offering an appealing investment opportunity for new and seasoned investors alike.

The property occupies a prominent corner position on Nottingham Road and Queens Road, on the eastern side of the vibrant market town of Loughborough. Loughborough offers a wide range of amenities including shops, schools, pubs, churches, and a hospital, together with a strong rental market supported by the university.

This pack is available to download to registered bidders. The conditions may also be inspected in the Sale Room at the time of the sale but they will not then be read. The purchaser shall be deemed to bid on those terms whether he shall have inspected the Conditions or not.

The sale of this property will take place on the stated date by way of a live, in-room auction and is being sold as Unconditional with a Fixed Fee. Some sellers may consider a pre-auction offer, and the Lot may be sold or withdrawn before the auction.

Binding contracts of sale will be exchanged at the point of sale.

Any change in the guide price will reflect a change in the reserve (a figure below which the auctioneer will not be able to sell). The reserve can be expected to be set within the guide range or not more than 10% above a single-figure guide. (RICS Common Auction Conditions 4th Edition).
