A large leasehold forecourt and garage business in IP1, offered with an established trading history and immediate income. The 1,800 sq ft site has capacity for approximately 20–24 vehicles and benefits from strong roadside visibility, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for digital listings and contactless payments.
The current operator concentrates on an adjacent MOT business, leaving the sales operation underutilised. A hands‑on buyer can increase turnover through active stock rotation, marketing and on-site management. There is scope for improved yield, partial redevelopment or reconfiguration to optimise display and workshop space.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the property is leasehold, located in a very deprived area with high local crime rates, and sits within a constrained neighbourhood classification. Those factors may affect insurance costs, security outlay and covenant terms. The sale is suitable for experienced motor-trade operators, investor-owners or developers prepared to invest in active management and security improvements.
