Well-running off-licence with post office — cash buyers preferred.
Prime corner location with heavy footfall and excellent visibility
This long-established off-licence with integrated post office sits on a busy corner parade in SW6, offering immediate trading from a fully fitted shop. Weekly takings are reported at £9,000–£10,000, with post office commission quoted at £90,000–£100,000 a year. Rent is £30,000 p.a. and business rates around £5,000 p.a. (buyers should verify). The unit benefits from high visibility, heavy footfall, 24-hour on-site security and an easy-to-manage operational setup.
The location close to the high street, gyms, and a wide range of amenities helps sustain regular local custom. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support modern payment systems and online services. Staff costs are modest for now (two employees, approx. £900 per week), and trading hours cover early mornings to late evenings to capture commuter and local demand.
Important ownership considerations: the property is leasehold with only 15 years remaining. Many mortgage lenders will refuse to lend on short leases, and the listing states cash buyers only. Prospective purchasers should note the explicit lender risk and confirm business rates, lease terms, and commission figures before committing. Crime levels in the area are reported as high and the wider neighbourhood is flagged as deprived, which may affect operating risk and insurance costs.
This opportunity suits a buyer able to purchase outright and comfortable running a high-street convenience business. The site offers clear income drivers and immediate trade, but material drawbacks — especially the short lease, lender restrictions, and local crime/deprivation — are significant and should factor into any valuation or offer.
