This compact ground-floor retail unit is offered as a high-yielding investment with an income-producing tenant in place. Let to a takeaway on a recently signed 10-year lease that runs to 31 July 2034, the property produces £9,600 per annum, representing a very high gross initial yield (48% on the guide price). Located on a busy local parade just 150m from Potteries Shopping Centre and Market Square, the unit benefits from strong pedestrian flow and immediate retail neighbours including national chains.
The shop is a small Victorian street-facing unit with standard ceiling heights and an urban setting. Its size and configuration suit continued use as a takeaway or a compact retail operation; the investment case rests on secure short-to-medium term income rather than long-term redevelopment potential. Buyer should note tenure is recorded as unknown and the unit occupies the ground floor only.
Important risk factors are clear and material: the area is classified as very deprived with a very high local crime rate, and broadband speeds are very slow. These factors may affect future tenant mix, operational resilience and rental growth. The close proximity to major retail anchors and excellent pedestrian accessibility are immediate strengths, but purchasers should factor in area socio-economic challenges and undertake their own investigations into tenure, service arrangements and any necessary compliance works.
