Self-contained two-bedroom maisonette over upper floors
In need of full refurbishment; EPC: Shop D, Maisonette F
Potential combined rental income circa £27,900 per year
High local crime and very deprived area — higher management risk
Sold at online auction; £1,800 + VAT buyer’s premium payable
Auction requires £5,000 preliminary deposit and vacant possession
This three-storey freehold on Broad Street, Staple Hill, presents a clear value-add for builders or buy-to-let investors. The property comprises a ground-floor retail unit and a self-contained two-bedroom maisonette above, offered with vacant possession and ready for refurbishment. Its high-footfall high-street position gives strong rental and trading potential once upgraded.
The ground floor shop (approx. 574 ft²) benefits from wide frontage and rear stores, while the upper maisonette spans the first and second floors. Current EPC ratings are D for the shop and F for the maisonette, and the building is in need of comprehensive refurbishment throughout — an opportunity to add value through improvement or reconfiguration.
Practical considerations are candid: the property sits in a very deprived area with higher recorded crime, so lettings or retail use will need appropriate management and security. The lot will be sold at an online auction (18 September 2025) with a buyer’s premium of £1,800 plus VAT and a £5,000 preliminary deposit required to bid. These transactional costs and the repair budget should be factored into any purchase plan.
For the right investor or developer, the building offers immediate upside: vacant possession, mixed-use planning flexibility, and an estimated combined rental income of circa £27,900 once refurbished. This is a straightforward refurbishment/investment play in a busy local high street close to schools, transport and community amenities.
