Questions, answered

Is the unit ready to occupy?

Can I buy it, or only rent?
Either. Every unit is available to buy freehold or to let — the freehold price, annual rent and service charge for this unit are shown above (all +VAT).
What can the unit be used for?
The planning consent permits Use Classes E(g)(iii), B2 and B8 — light industrial, general industrial, and storage & distribution. In practice the units suit e-commerce & online retail, workshops & makers, studios, trade counters and storage. Other uses may be possible subject to the necessary approvals. Not sure which class your business falls under? Check the Planning Portal’s use-classes guide. Ask us about your specific use.
What are the business rates?
Business rates are set by the Valuation Office (VOA) from each unit’s rateable value. As a guide, comparable units nearby are assessed at around £100–£110 per m². Smaller units may qualify for Small Business Rates Relief (up to 100% below £12,000 rateable value). We or the joint agents can provide an estimate for this unit.
Can I buy it through my pension (SIPP / SSAS)?
Yes — commercial units like these can be held in a SIPP or SSAS. Many business owners buy their unit through their pension and lease it back to their own company. Speak to your pension provider or adviser about your circumstances. (Not financial advice; pension outcomes vary.)
What connectivity & power does it have?
Fibre broadband to the unit — just connect with your provider — plus a 100 A 3-phase metered power supply and mains water. Units are EPC A-rated, and rooftop solar PV benefits every unit — keeping running costs low.
What are the lease terms?
Leases are on standard commercial terms typical for small business units, by negotiation. The joint agents will talk you through length, rent reviews and repairing obligations.
What does the service charge cover?
The annual service charge (shown above) covers upkeep of the shared estate — landscaping, car parking, lighting, CCTV and common-area maintenance. It currently includes buildings insurance, which is recharged through the service charge.
How do I reserve a unit, and what happens next?
Tap Enquire above and the team or our joint agents — Breadings (Duncan MacKinnon) and Sibley Pares (Phil Hubbard) — will arrange a viewing and guide you through reserving and completing.
Who pays the legal costs?
Each party bears its own legal costs.
