Located in a very deprived area with very high crime levels
A substantial two-storey retail property located on Corporation Street in Dewsbury, currently set up as a hairdresser and offered with vacant possession from 8 July 2025. The ground floor provides an open-plan sales area with access to a basement/cellar; the first floor offers further open-plan space and separate toilets—suitable for continued retail use or conversion to alternative commercial/residential layouts (subject to consents). EPC rating C.
The building totals approximately 732 sq ft and includes off-street parking to the rear—a notable asset in a town-centre location. The vendor indicates a potential rental yield of around 9% p.a., making this a clear play for an income-focused buyer or landlord seeking an asset with immediate let or occupation potential.
Material considerations are straightforward: tenure is not specified and should be confirmed before exchange. The property sits in a very deprived part of a major conurbation with very high recorded crime levels, which will affect tenant mix, lettability and insurance costs. Local demographics include a large Pakistani community and an urban cultural mix; nearby amenities are dense but the surrounding area faces socioeconomic challenges.
This building offers period character and flexible space for an investor prepared to manage location risk and oversee any refurbishment. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern commercial uses. No flood risk reported.
