2527, 25a & 27b Church Street, Ormskirk, Ormskirk, Lancashire, L39

The property comprises a substantial mixed-use town centre investment incorporating ground-floor retail accommodation, a seven-bedroom student HMO and a separately
accessed residential apartment.

The ground-floor accommodation is currently occupied by an established butcher's business, whilst the upper floors provide a combination of student and conventional residential accommodation.

The property offers an opportunity to acquire an established mixed-use investment with income derived from three distinct elements.

Ground Floor Retail - 25-27 Church Street
The ground floor comprises two interconnecting retail units, with the front accommodation arranged as a butcher's shop and delicatessen. Beyond the retail areas are extensive food and meat preparation facilities, refrigeration accommodation and rear storage areas, with vehicular access available from Park Road.

A substantial basement storage area is accessed via the covered and gated passageway to the side of No. 27 Church Street.

The ground-floor accommodation is occupied by an established butcher's business under an informal licence arrangement, at a current rental of £32,000 per annum exclusive.

Prospective purchasers should note that the occupation is not governed by a formal occupational lease. Further details regarding the existing arrangement are available upon request.

We understand that the shopfront to No. 27 Church Street is Grade II listed.

Seven-Bedroom Student HMO - 25a Church Street
The student accommodation extends across the first and second floors and comprises seven letting bedrooms, together with shared kitchen, lounge and shower facilities.

The first floor provides four letting bedrooms, a communal lounge, kitchen and shower room. The second floor provides three further letting bedrooms and an additional shower room. There is also a sealed-off attic room at third-floor level.

The accommodation is currently let to students under individual tenancy agreements, with all seven rooms contracted at £99 per week.

The current 2026/27 tenancy schedule identifies total contracted income of £30,393, with tenancy lengths ranging from 20 to 48 weeks.

On the basis of all seven rooms being let for 48 weeks at the current weekly rental, the accommodation would produce a gross income of £33,264 per annum.

The property is considered to occupy a sustainable student letting location within Ormskirk town centre, with potential for further rental growth and improvements to the accommodation, subject to the necessary consents and market demand.

We understand that annual landlord's operating expenses have historically been in the region of £7,000-£8,000, although purchasers should make their own enquiries regarding current expenditure.

A copy of the HMO licence and relevant statutory compliance documentation can be made available upon request.

Residential Apartment - 27b Church Street
The property also incorporates a self-contained residential apartment arranged over the upper floors.

The first-floor accommodation provides a shower room, office/store, lounge and bedroom, whilst the second floor comprises a further bedroom, lounge and galley kitchen.

We understand that the second-floor accommodation is occupied under a residential tenancy agreement commencing 23 June 2025, at a rental of £500 per calendar month, equivalent to £6,000 per annum.

The apartment is separately metered for utilities and separately assessed for Council Tax, for which the residential tenant is responsible.
