The quoting price is £5,722,890 for 17,882 sq ft. Non-residential stamp duty land tax on that figure is approximately £275,645 (England and Northern Ireland freehold bands). Budget separately for legal fees, a building survey, agent fees and any VAT that may be chargeable on the purchase price.

This opportunity is offered virtual freehold. Your solicitor should review title, any occupational leases, service-charge history and outstanding dilapidations before exchange.

The listed use class is E(g) within the automotive sector. Since the 2020 Use Classes Order many commercial, business and service uses sit within Class E and can change without a planning application, but sui generis uses (such as drinking establishments, hot food takeaways and cinemas) do not. Confirm the permitted use and any restrictive covenants with the local planning authority before signing.
