1 bed 1 bath Office
Large conversion opportunity close to Hanley transport links.
Freehold two-storey office across three terraced units, vacant possession
A freehold former office building offered with vacant possession and clear redevelopment potential. The two-storey, end-terrace property spans three former units and includes a yard with off-street parking and two outbuildings; these spaces could be converted to additional residential units or used for storage, subject to planning consent. Located close to Hanley bus station with strong road links (A50, A500, M6), the site suits investors or developers targeting HMO or multi-let refurbishment schemes.
The interior is dated: 1970s-style offices, low ceilings, poor lighting and worn finishes throughout. The fabric is solid brick (likely without cavity insulation) and heating is mains-gas boiler and radiators. EPC rating D — energy upgrades and insulation will be needed for residential conversion and to improve running costs. The property requires general maintenance and internal refurbishment; conversion to HMO or flats will need formal planning consent and associated works.
Important sale terms: this property will be sold at auction on 27 November 2025 by unconditional sale. Bidders must provide the required deposit (5%, minimum £5,000) and pay the buyer’s fee (4.8%, minimum £6,000 incl. VAT) — these are payable in addition to the purchase price. Interested parties should inspect the legal pack and view the premises before bidding.
The local area is an urban cultural mix with nearby amenities and good transport; however the wider area is classified as very deprived, which is relevant for tenant demand and rental expectations. For an investor prepared for planning, insulation upgrades and internal refit, the building offers scope to add value through reconfiguration and modernisation.
