Modern Method of Auction
Auction date not yet published
We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

(see plans attached) Churcher Estates Auction House is delighted to present this substantial freehold property on Scarisbrick Street, Southport, offered for sale by auction.
Previously operating as a regional training centre, volunteer hub, and public first aid facility, this impressive building offers exceptional scope for investors, developers, and owner-occupiers alike.
Proposed plans for the conversion into eight apartments are available for inspection.
Guided at £220,000, the property represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire a versatile building with significant redevelopment potential.
Its former use has resulted in a well-configured internal layout comprising multiple bright and adaptable training and meeting rooms, making it suitable for a wide range of commercial, educational, community, or professional uses.
The property's greatest appeal lies in its excellent conversion and development potential.
Subject to the necessary planning consents, it could be transformed into residential apartments, a house in multiple occupation (HMO), supported living accommodation, or retained for commercial or community use.
Interested parties are advised to rely on their own enquiries regarding planning permission and any proposed future use.
Externally, the property benefits from private on-site parking with marked bays, accessed directly from Scarisbrick Street, providing a valuable convenience for both commercial and residential occupiers.
The building also enjoys dual street frontage, with separate access points from both Scarisbrick Street and Wright Street, offering enhanced flexibility and the potential to accommodate multiple occupancies or alternative layouts.
Situated within a well-established area of Southport, the property is conveniently positioned close to a wide range of local amenities, public transport links, and the town centre, making it an attractive proposition for both commercial operators and residential developers.
Properties of this size and versatility rarely become available.
Combining substantial accommodation, a prominent location, and considerable development potential, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
Internal inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate the scale, flexibility, and possibilities this exceptional property has to offer.
