Turnkey household-goods business with strong footfall near station.
Approximately 1,500 sq ft shop floor in busy high-street parade
A spacious 1,500 sq ft retail unit on a busy Leatherhead parade with strong footfall and immediate transport links. The shop is set up for household-goods retailing, includes electric double shutters and a till system, and currently delivers a weekly turnover of approximately £3,000–£3,500. Mobile signal and broadband are excellent, supporting tills, card payments and online activity.
The property is offered as a leasehold business for £50,000 including stock, with rent of £30,000 per annum and business rates around £12,000 pa. There is also a freehold option priced at £450,000. The unit benefits from proximity to the train station, a local post office and many town-centre amenities, helping maintain steady customer flow.
Important caution for buyers: the new lease term being offered is 15 years. That relatively short lease may make it difficult for many mortgage lenders to lend against the premises; buyers should check finance options in advance. The local crime level is recorded as high, so factor in security and insurance considerations despite the electric shutters.
This is a pragmatic opportunity for a small investor or owner-operator looking for an established, easy-to-manage retail business in a very affluent area. The turnover suggests immediate trading potential, but purchasers should carry out full financial, rates and leasehold due diligence before committing.
