A compact, modern self-storage pod on Sherdley Road Industrial Estate offered as a low-maintenance commercial investment. The unit (c.150 sq ft) was built in 2015 and sits on a long lease (c.249 years from new) with a modest annual ground rent of £75. It produced £916.61 in income last year, giving a straightforward, hands-off income stream at the listed price of £22,500.
The unit’s industrial setting and vehicle access suit business and personal storage use; the facility presents a contemporary exterior and easy 24-hour access typical of purpose-built storage. For an investor seeking a low-effort asset, this is a simple holding with clear tenancy history and minimal onsite management requirements.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the estate records very high crime levels and the local area is classified as very deprived, which can affect tenant demand and long-term capital growth. The property is leasehold with a small ground rent and is adjacent to commercial activity rather than residential amenities, so alternative uses are limited without consent.
Overall, this is a small-scale investment with an established income record and long lease security. It will suit investors seeking a low-entry price point and predictable rent rather than those looking for rapid capital appreciation or owner-occupier commercial premises.
