A prominent mixed-use freehold on South Benfleet High Road, currently producing a combined rent of £28,800 per year from a ground-floor beauty salon and an upper flat. The ground floor is well fitted with a glazed shopfront and direct street access; the upper accommodation is presented in neutral, tidy condition with two double bedrooms and separate entrance. A useful forecourt provides limited off-street parking and the flat benefits from a large rear garden — a rare amenity for a high-road unit.
The property totals approximately 1,358 sq ft and sits in a busy retail parade with strong footfall, local amenities and good transport links to Benfleet station and London. The buy-to-let or owner-occupier investor will value the ready rental income stream and the garden, which offers potential for enhanced residential amenity or alternative income generation subject to consents.
Important drawback: the shop lease expires in April 2027 and there are only three years remaining on the commercial lease. This short unexpired term is likely to restrict mortgage finance availability and will be a material consideration for many buyers. The flat is on a short-term (six-month) AST, so income stability depends on re-letting or securing longer-term tenancies.
Suitable for an investor comfortable managing lease renewals or for an owner-occupier seeking a live/work opportunity, the building will benefit from targeted asset management — longer leases, modest refurbishments, or reconfiguration could increase value. Buyers should take independent advice on leasehold terms, financing implications and any required consents before proceeding.
