Set on a substantial 0.19-acre freehold plot in Warrington, this derelict commercial lot offers immediate income and clear redevelopment potential. The site currently produces an annual rental income of £30,000, providing short-term cashflow while new plans are prepared. Previously granted planning for nine apartments (now lapsed) demonstrates likely residential potential subject to fresh approvals.
The location sits within an affluent, low-crime area with good local schools and fast broadband — features that support residential schemes aimed at families or professional tenants. Transport links and nearby amenities (shops, bus stops, car wash) add practical value for future occupants. There is no flood risk recorded for the site.
Key responsibilities for a buyer include securing new planning permission and addressing the site’s derelict condition. The plot’s size and city-edge position could accommodate a variety of schemes, including apartments, mixed-use redevelopment, or purpose-built rental housing. Buyers should allow for costs and timescales associated with planning, demolition/clearance, and construction.
This opportunity suits experienced developers or investors seeking a freehold site with immediate income and upside. The lapsed permission lowers one barrier but does not guarantee future consent; carry out due diligence and consult planning specialists early to confirm viable proposals.
