Description

TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION METHOD.
GUIDE PRICE:  £600,000-£650,000.
We invite IMMEDIATE CASH OFFERS (on strict Auction terms) for this valuable and very substantial MIXED COMMERCIAL/RESIDENTIAL INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY with much potential; comprising three linked buildings now affording FOUR SELF-CONTAINED FLATS (3 x one bedroom, 1 x two), ALL LET, plus VACANT SHOP (294 sq m approx) AND BASEMENT (97 sq m approx); having a current/projected return of around £65,000 p.a. - EQUIVALENT TO A GROSS ANNUAL YIELD OF SOME 10%. Highland Road runs from Albert/Festing Road junction to the main Eastney Road, the premises occupying a prominent corner position on the north side at the junction with Hellyer Road. This popular and convenient location is less than half a mile from Southsea Seafront and places a wide range of public amenities within comfortable reach. Currently VACANT, the extensive ground floor commercial element was let until recently (t/a The Hideaway Cafe/Bar/Bistro & Dog Services) at £30,000 p.a. The upper residential element underwent comprehensive conversion/extension in 2010, now affording four, well-appointed self-contained apartments, ALL LET on Assured Shorthold Tenancies and producing £35,520 p.a. (with scope, it is felt, for uplift).  The generous basement, together with rear flat roof, may, it is felt, hold scope for further development (subject to the necessary consents. All in all a lucrative investment opportunity, and a very worthwhile addition to any portfolio. Full particulars of the Lot are as follows:
