A prominent freehold corner retail unit on Westgate Road, Dartford, offers a substantial ground-floor showroom with wide full-width glazed frontage and strong pedestrian exposure. The building footprint and retail frontage are large for a high-street unit, suitable for continuing retail use, subletting opportunities, or active asset-management to improve rental performance.
The sale comprises the ground-floor retail unit only; the upper residential flats do not form part of this sale and are separately owned/managed. Important commercial facts: Freehold tenure, very large overall size (6,125 sq ft total footprint referenced), low flood risk and an indicative net initial yield referenced around 8.06% at the asking price of £1,345,000.
Buyers should note notable downsides: the local area records very high crime and is classed as deprived, which may affect tenant mix, insurance costs and leasing terms. Upper floors are excluded from the sale, so any strategies relying on control of the residential accommodation (refurbishment or conversion) are limited unless those interests are acquired separately. Common-area and façade upkeep on a busy town-centre corner will be an ongoing management consideration.
This asset will suit investors seeking a prominent, large-format high-street retail holding in a major conurbation town centre, or an owner-occupier retailer wanting strong visibility. Due diligence should include lease terms for the current occupier, local crime and security costs, and service/maintenance arrangements for the building frontage and shared elements.
