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.

About
A rare opportunity to acquire the freehold building which includes a ground floor retail premises, six apartments, outside space and car park.
Gross annual income in the region of £48,000 per annum providing a gross return of approximately 10% per annum. All properties currently occupied, high yield, low void periods.
Introduction - After nearly 20 years ownership, our vendors are looking to sell this incredible investment opportunity.
The building is substantially built and has been converted into 6 well proportioned flats on the first & second floors and a large retail unit on the ground floor that is leased to a Blue Chip retailer who has happily renewed their lease on numerous occasions.
We have managed the flats for over 12 years and during that time, the void periods have been minimal and the tenants generally stay for long periods.
The current rents are little below market value as the landlords have not increased the rents every years to avoid a higher churn rate.
We are just issuing rent increases in line with RPR which will be effective in November 2026. Viewing has to be by appointment only so that we can arrange access with the tenants and the retailer.

The River Teme meanders through the town, adding to its peaceful charm and making it a popular destination for walkers, nature lovers and those seeking a quieter pace of life.

The town is also served by the Heart of Wales railway line, providing convenient transport links.
