FOR SALE - An Unusual Property Investment with a Medium Term Development Angle
The property comprises an attractive two storey semi-detached property (originally built as a house) having it’s own private mature rear garden, detached garage and driveway. To the front of the property a prominent single storey shop was constructed in the past and tied into the original semi-detached property.
Location
The property occupies a prominent location on Frimley Road, within easy travelling distance of both Camberley and Frimley town centres, and with swift vehicular access to both the A30 London Road, and to the A331 Blackwater Valley Road. Junction 4 of the M3 is within a few miles. There are local shopping facilities in the immediate vicinity and a new Co-operative supermarket has recently opened further up the road.

Terms
POTENTIAL FUTURE DEVELOPMENT – SUBJECT TO PLANNING & BUILDING REGULATIONS
In our view at the end of the lease, we believe there is excellent potential to split the shop from the rear building retaining the shop and the adjacent office to the front as continued retail use, and to convert the rear property to a 3 bedroom house, which will include the private garden, garage and driveway.
As we see it the works will involve physically blocking up the two door openings with the rear office, installation of a toilet within the rear office in order to serve the shop, and the splitting of services where required. Obviously subject to planning and building regulations.
ESTIMATED FUTURE VALUES IF PROPERTY IS SPLIT
Obviously interested parties will have to come to their own conclusion on re-sale values on the basis of splitting and refurbishing the premises and of course this will be at a future day following the expiry of the lease, but our “guesstimate” at current day prices show the shop to be around £125,000 and the rear building around £350/375,000 depending on finish and specification.
PRICE
Offers in the region of £395,000 for our client’s freehold interest.
VAT
The property is elected for VAT, however, the investment can be sold as a Transfer as a Going Concern (TOGC), or our client is willing to de-register the property from VAT if preferred.
BUSINESS RATES
The premises are currently rated as a shop and premises with a Rateable Value of £8,900, which brings the premises into the small business rates relief.
