Attractive income potential from five one bedroom flats, with possibility to increase by a further four, plus two retail units.

2 DESCRIPTION These two adjoining buildings each provide residential accommodation above retail space together with a small two storey storage building approached via a central courtyard. The premises have been managed by long term private investors who accept there is development potential and that both buildings would benefit from general refurbishment and upgrading. There are five flats on the two upper floors, each being of differing sizes whilst providing one bedroom accommodation. There are two retail units having the following approximate floor areas: 27: Front sales: 306 square feet, Rear stores: 280 square feet, plus ancillary areas. 29: Front sales: 366 square feet, Rear stores: 138 square feet, plus ancillary areas. Floor layout plans available on request. LOCATION These attractive period buildings are conveniently located close to the junction of Portsmouth Road with Victoria Road/Bridge Roads, in the heart of this busy and expanding suburb. The nearby 31 acre Centenary Quay project, on the former Vosper Thornycroft site, will provide an estimated 1,000 jobs, 1,620 new homes, a 100 bed hotel, a day nursery, library, restaurants, cafes, a supermarket all now underway which should help significantly by regenerating the riverside areas of Woolston, and thereby substantially assisting the local economy. The M.27 motorway (junctions 3 and 8) is within a ten minutes driving distance thus allowing easy access to all parts of the Solent region and further afield via the M3 and the national motorway network. Southampton International airport is just off junction 5 of the M.27, which provides both national and international flights. PLANNING We have been in discussion with Southampton City Council s planning department concerning redevelopment of the rear of these buildings and the outcome was favourable. However, we would stress that any intending purchaser should rely on their own enquiries. We concluded that there may be the possibility of converting the rear sections of both ground floor retail units to residential, together with the two rear storage buildings, thus creating a further four income sources. TERMS The present income for the five flats is about 1,915 per month. For the two shops the rent is 1,000 per month, with the tenants both paying their rates. Thus, the total income is in the region of 34,980 currently. With improvements and general upgrading of the flats both internally and to the common areas it is believed that a realistic increase in the rental income could be achieved. We also hold the view that on securing planning consent to convert the rear ground floor retail units and the two storage buildings as outlined above (planning) there will be a further opportunity to improve the income stream. Price: On application. BUSINESS RATES According to The Valuation Office ( the 2010 Rateable Value figures for the two ground floor retail units are as follows: 27 Portsmouth Road: 3,700, 29 Portsmouth Road: 4,400. The Council Tax applicable for the separate residential accommodation is Band A, or for the year April 2012/13).
