A rare commercial opportunity in Southend-on-Sea: an expansive 7,000 sq ft light industrial unit currently operating as a vehicle service, MOT and repair centre. The open-plan workshop, high ceilings and heavy-duty concrete floors make the space immediately usable for automotive, light industrial or storage purposes; existing fixtures and equipment can be purchased separately to enable immediate trading.
Positioned just off Southchurch Road on Belle Vue Place, the unit benefits from good local transport links, nearby shops and strong digital connectivity (excellent mobile, fast broadband). The property is leasehold and presented at £750,000, offering potential for an owner-operator, investor seeking rental income, or a developer exploring alternative uses (subject to planning consent).
Buyers should note material considerations: the property sits in an area classed as deprived with above-average crime levels and described locally as a hampered neighbourhood. The leasehold tenure and the surrounding residential context will affect redevelopment scope and finance options. Prospective purchasers should carry out full due diligence, including lease terms, condition surveys and local planning advice.
Overall this is a substantial, well-specified industrial unit with immediate commercial utility and longer-term value potential, but it requires realistic assessment against tenure, location and local area challenges.
