Freehold mixed-use building on A638 with high visibility
Approx. site area 0.17 acre with on-site off-street parking
Part-let; immediate income from short-term teaching lease
First floor largely vacant — scope for refurbishment or redevelopment
Planning: mainly Class E; No.7 GF has F1 consent (verify with council)
Sale by receivers — not all leases or rents sighted
Services present but untested; purchasers must satisfy themselves
Located in a very deprived area; factor rental risk and tenant mix
A substantial freehold mixed-use property prominently fronting Halifax Road, Dewsbury. The site extends to about 0.17 acres and offers retail units, ground-floor teaching use and a suite of first-floor offices, with on-site parking and direct frontage to the A638. Part of the building is income-producing immediately, while other areas remain vacant with clear scope to increase rental income through active management.
The property is being sold on behalf of receivers which creates an opportunity for investors or developers to acquire a large town-centre site at a guide price of £250,000. Planning consents largely allow Class E uses, although No.7 (ground floor) currently benefits from F1 consent — purchasers should confirm permitted uses with Kirklees Council. The first floor is mostly vacant, offering conversion, re-letting or redevelopment potential (subject to planning).
Known drawbacks are material and should be investigated: the sale is by receivers so full lease documentation has not been sighted, several tenants’ rents and terms are unknown, and services have not been tested. The area scores as very deprived locally, which may affect tenant mix and rental levels; nearby occupiers and town-centre footfall should be checked. EPC ratings are D (Nos.7–11) and C (No.13), and VAT may be applicable to the purchase.
