MULTIFACETED INVESTMENT PROPERTY

A substantial, multi-faceted investment property with 16 self-contained flats above ground-floor commercial accommodation, along with retail unit, public house and garage, offered for sale by traditional auction. This is a sizeable, income-producing coastal block combining stable residential tenancy with flexible commercial space. Its seaside location and mixed-use layout create multiple routes to add value — whether through active asset management, selective refurbishment, or lease renegotiation. The high-yielding current rents reserved of c.£125,000 per annum gives immediate clarity on income performance for prospective bidders particularly those from the investment fraternity.


KEY FEATURES

• 16 self-contained flats (mixture of studio/1-bed units) arranged over first, second and third floors — each flat with separate access and meters (where applicable).

• Ground floor commercial unit namely 'Green Leaf' cafe is sold away on a long-lease. The adjoining 'Royal Clarence' public house and Seaton Print & Design are included in the sale and let on long term leases. See tenancy information below.

• Prominent frontage onto a busy Seaton street (high footfall/tourist trade potential) with excellent visibility from the pavement/road.

• Coastal/tourist location — close to the seafront, promenade, and the Jurassic Coast, supporting short-stay demand and year-round rental market.

• Good on-site servicing — communal entrances, stairwells, communal storage/plant space and roof access where applicable. Car parking/permit spaces nearby (subject to confirmation).


INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS

• Immediate income: Rents currently reserved of £125,000 p.a., offering an operational revenue stream from day one (sold with rents reserved at auction).

• Diverse income mix: Residential rents underpin stable cashflow while commercial units offer upside via reversionary leases, rent reviews or active re-letting.

• Asset management opportunities: Potential to refurbish common parts or individual units, convert under-utilised space, or improve commercial lettings to enhance value.

• Strong local demand drivers: Seaton’s coastal location supports both long-let and seasonal income streams — appealing to investors targeting seaside town portfolios.

AUCTION INFORMATION

†Traditional auction
Exchange occurs at the end of the auction. This means that if the reserve is met or exceeded and the auction timer reaches zero, the successful bidder is legally obliged to pay the purchase price and the seller will be legally obliged to sell the property. To ensure that the successful bidder proceeds, the buyer is automatically charged a holding deposit, which is held in a secure client account, pursuant to the terms of a holding deposit agreement.

Pricing information
The Guide Price amount specified is an indication of each seller's minimum expectation. It is not necessarily the amount at which the property will sell. Each property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the property will not be sold) which we expect will be set no more than 10% above the Guide Price amount.
