A compact high-street retail unit in central Slough offered on a new lease, ideal for an investor or small operator targeting walk-in trade. The property holds Class E status, making it suitable for uses such as a mobile phone shop, retail outlet or other town-centre services. Its position near Slough Railway Station and the main bus interchange guarantees steady footfall and strong visibility.
Practical strengths include excellent mobile signal, no flood risk and immediate proximity to supermarkets, leisure and a wide range of local amenities. The shell is modern with shelving, glass displays and LED lighting already installed, reducing initial fit-out time and cost for the next occupier.
Notable constraints are the unit’s small footprint and relatively low ceiling, which limit some uses and display options. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow, which could affect online-dependent businesses. Crime levels locally are high and the wider area shows signs of deprivation—factors that buyers should weigh when considering tenant risk or day-to-day operations.
Financially, the property is offered leasehold at £60,000 with a ground rent of £2,200 per year, which we note is high and will impact net returns. The new lease offers a clear rental start, but prospective purchasers should review lease terms, service charges and trading projections carefully before committing.
