29 Market Street, Milnsbridge, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire HD3 4ND

Description

Prominent ground floor commercial premises situated in a highly visible position on Market Street in the heart of Milnsbridge. Formerly trading as a family-owned and successful takeaway since 1983 and now offered with vacant possession, with potential for alternative uses subject to the necessary consents. The property comprises a mid-terraced ground floor commercial unit providing a single open-plan space, together with a basement accessed via an internal staircase and incorporating a WC. The premises occupy a prominent frontage on Market Street, the principal road running through the centre of Milnsbridge, providing excellent visibility and passing trade. The property offers scope for continued commercial use or potential alternative uses, subject to any necessary planning and other consents. Offered with vacant possession, the property is likely to appeal to owner-occupiers seeking well-located commercial premises, as well as investors looking to acquire a property with potential for future letting.

Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The £65,000+ guide is supported only by limited and mixed evidence. Same-street sales include 31 Market Street at £42,500 in 2021 and £90,000 in 2017, while 25 Market Street sold for £65,000 in 2018; however, the properties differ in type, tenure and potentially size/use. Four Horseshoes Yard sold for £170,000 in 2025 but is identified only as an Other/Leasehold property and is not sufficiently comparable. No floor area, tenure, condition, planning status or rental evidence is supplied, so a reliable GDV or maximum bid cannot be established.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Treat as an owner-occupier or commercial-use opportunity only after verifying tenure, condition, planning status and all special-condition costs. Do not bid on an investment or change-of-use thesis without independent rental and valuation evidence.

Works Required

Obtain a full building survey and confirm the condition of the open-plan commercial area, basement and WC. Review the existing commercial layout and establish whether any works are required for continued use or any proposed alternative use. Confirm planning, building-control and other consents before committing to a change of use. No specific defects or refurbishment requirements are evidenced.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

BRRR cannot be underwritten from the supplied evidence. There is no supported rental figure, refurbishment budget, GDV, tenure information or refinance valuation. The property has vacant possession and potential for continued commercial use or alternative use, but any alternative use is subject to necessary consents.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

BTL cannot be assessed because no sufficiently specific rental comparable or auctioneer rent estimate is provided. The property is vacant, and there is no evidence of achievable rent, operating costs, floor area or letting demand. At the £65,000 guide, the stated buyer premium would be £2,400 because the 1.8% calculation is below the £2,400 minimum, before any other costs or special-condition fees.

Flip Analysis

A flip appraisal cannot be quantified because no supported GDV, works allowance, floor area, condition assessment or selling-cost allowance is available. The sold comparables provide only broad local context and are not sufficiently comparable to establish resale value.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• Tenure is not supplied.

• No sufficiently specific rental evidence is available, preventing a yield assessment.

• Any alternative use is subject to necessary planning and other consents.

• Condition and required works are unknown, including the basement and WC.

• Sold comparables differ in type, tenure and potentially size, limiting valuation reliability.

• Additional fees may be listed in the Special Conditions of Sale.

• The buyer premium is subject to a £2,400 minimum, and no other acquisition or disposal costs are quantified.

Recommendation

Treat as an owner-occupier or commercial-use opportunity only after verifying tenure, condition, planning status and all special-condition costs. Do not bid on an investment or change-of-use thesis without independent rental and valuation evidence.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

The evidence confirms the location, vacant possession, commercial layout and guide, but omits tenure, floor area, condition, EPC, rental evidence, planning status and detailed costs. The comparables are limited and materially mixed in type and tenure.
