A prominent two-storey Victorian commercial building overlooking the Wallasey dock system, offered freehold and sold by public auction (03 December 2025, Lot 11) with a guide price of £180,000–£200,000. The property benefits from existing A5 planning consent suitable for hot food takeaway / fast food and includes hardstanding to the front, side and rear plus land to the side for off-street parking.
The building is currently vacant and requires complete refurbishment: boarded windows, internal fittings stripped, and general repair throughout. Internally the ground floor provides multiple front and rear rooms, a kitchen, stores and WCs; the first floor has two rooms, a kitchen, bathroom and WC — offering straightforward reconfiguration for retail or leisure uses but requiring significant investment to bring up to trading standard.
This is a clear opportunity for an investor or operator targeting a seaside/regeneration location within the Wirral Waters area. Benefits include freehold ownership, visible main-road position, waterfront views and A5 consent; drawbacks include the substantial renovation requirement, slow broadband, above-average local crime and the property's location in a very deprived area, all of which should be factored into feasibility and financing plans.
Viewings are by arrangement with the auctioneers; the sale is a public auction and the property will be sold as vacant commercial premises. Buyers should allow for remedial works, planning/consent checks for any change of use, and adaptation to meet current building and food-safety standards.
