This freehold retail unit on Bellshill’s Main Street is offered as a tenanted commercial investment with immediate income. The property is let to a national operator at £1,250 pcm (£15,000 pa) and is promoted with a guide price that produces an attractive headline yield for an investor able to buy at auction.
The premises occupy a busy high-footfall corner position within the town centre and benefit from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — practical advantages for continued retail use or alternative commercial occupation. The building presents a compact, Victorian ground-floor shop with a stone façade and contemporary internal finishes including tiled flooring and an electronic display setup.
Important considerations: the lease runs until 2031 (approximately six years remaining). That short unexpired term is likely to restrict mortgage lending and will be a material factor for many buyers; some purchasers will therefore need to be cash buyers or use alternative finance. The property is being sold at timed online auction, so completion times and buyer requirements should be noted.
Overall this is a straightforward, let-freehold investment for a buyer who values immediate rental income and high street location. It suits investors prepared to accept lease-term risk and purchase via auction, or those targeting future reversion/asset management once the lease expires.
