Businesses unaffected: established restaurants occupying ground-floor units

Mixed tenancy mix (commercial and AST-let apartments) offers income diversification
A substantial freehold investment portfolio on Whitchurch Road, Cardiff, offering four ground-floor A3 commercial units and four let first-floor apartments. The parade benefits from strong footfall on a busy thoroughfare and immediate rental income from established operators, producing a current net yield of 7.40% with clear potential for rental uplift.
The buildings are traditional Victorian terraces with street-facing bays and good visibility for the restaurants below. Units are occupied (businesses unaffected), apartments are individually let—mostly on Assured Shorthold Tenancies—providing diversification between commercial and residential income streams. Rear lane access supports deliveries and servicing for the trading units.
Notable negatives are factual and material: the property sits in a very deprived area with a high local crime rate, which may affect tenant mix, insurance costs and long-term capital growth. The plot is small and the parade comprises medium/standard-sized spaces, so significant redevelopment scope is limited. Sale is a retirement disposal and confirmation of funds will be required for any purchase.
This asset will suit an investor seeking immediate income from a freehold with operational businesses and short-term uplift potential through rent reviews, active management or minor refurbishment. Buyers should budget for higher operational costs associated with the location and carry out their own due diligence on leases, local trading metrics and insurance implications.
