FREEHOLD INVESTMENT WITH DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL FOR RESIDENTIAL ON THE UPPER FLOORS (SUBJECT TO PD RIGHTS)

Extremely rare opportunity to be able to purchase the freehold of this commercial property located within the heart of the North Laines and considered to be one of Brighton's busiest and most popular shopping thoroughfares. The amount of footfall per day running through Sydney Street is significantly high, something that has been prevalent over the past few decades. The property can be acquired either vacant or tenanted for a period of 6 months by way of a licence immediately following completion at a rental income of £15,000 for the 6 month period.

It is considered that the current rent for the property should be £30,000 per annum once fully let whilst there are also possibilities under Permitted Development Rights for the upper two floors to be turned into residential, assisted by the fact that the building enjoys the benefit of a rear access and courtyard thereby potentially allowing any residential part to have its own separate entrance.

Relevant Planning History
21/11/18 under application number BH2018/00959, planning permission was granted for the erection of a two storey rear extension and change of use from retail (A1) to mixed use retail and caf/juice bar (A1/A3) with the A3 use restricted to the rear extension and first floor area.

24/12/2009 under planning application number BH2009/02436, planning permission was granted for a rear ground floor extension with open undercroft at lower ground floor.

It is understood that numbers 25 and 30 Sydney Street have benefited from 3 storey rear addition therefore is is possible that the current 2 storey rear extension to number 36 may be able to extended by another floor perhaps allowing for a 2 bedroom flat within the upper floors (STNC).

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
