A compact freehold retail investment on Brentwood High Street offering immediate income and a 7.54% yield at the asking price. The unit is let on a new fully insuring and repairing (FRI) lease with a passing rent of £13,200 per annum, providing predictable cashflow and limited landlord repair liability.
The property presents an open-plan trading area with a kitchen, store room and WC, plus a first-floor space accessed above the shop which appears suitable for ancillary use or storage. The Georgian-style shopfront and double-hung sash windows give the building character and strong street presence, beneficial for tenant retention in this busy town-centre pitch.
Notable positives include close proximity to Brentwood station (around a 10-minute walk), strong local footfall from national and independent retailers, and an EPC rating around 71 (Band C). The area is very affluent with excellent transport links to central London via the Elizabeth Line and easy access to the M25 and A12.
Drawbacks are straightforward: the retail frontage and first-floor façade show visible wear and would benefit from cosmetic refurbishment; the internal retail depth is modest with a small to medium floorplate; there is no private garden; and the asset may require active asset management or light capex to increase rent. Investors should allow for external refurbishment costs despite the FRI lease covering repairs during the tenancy.
