7 - 13 Halifax Road, Dewsbury, West Yorkshire

Description

This substantial mixed use commercial investment comprises a combination of retail and office accommodation arranged over ground and first floors, occupying a generous plot with onsite car parking. The premises are conveniently located close to Dewsbury town centre, benefiting from strong transport links and high visibility.

Accommodation

Ground floor: No. 7 Halifax Road is an office suite for teaching, currently let at £910 per calendar month (£10,920 per annum); Nos. 9–11 Halifax Road comprise two interlinked units offering flexible space suitable for Class E uses; No. 13 Halifax Road is a separate retail unit with prominent frontage. The first floor provides a series of individual office suites accessed via a shared entrance.

Location

The property occupies a prominent position fronting the A638 Halifax Road, a short distance from Dewsbury town centre and within walking proximity to Dewsbury railway station. Dewsbury is within the Kirklees Metropolitan District and has transport links to Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield and Wakefield, with access to the M1 and M62 motorways.

Tenure / Property Information

Investment Analysis

The only directly relevant completed sale is 7 Halifax Road, Dewsbury, at £275,000 on 27 March 2026, recorded as an 'Other' leasehold sale. This supports a cautious base GDV of £275,000, but there is insufficient evidence for supported low and high GDV scenarios. The other Halifax Road sales are different properties and provide limited additional valuation support. The guide price is consistent with the closest comparable, subject to tenure, condition, lease and special-condition review.

Investment Snapshot

Strategy Recommendation

Proceed only as a cautious income-led commercial investment if leases, vacant-unit prospects, tenant quality and full property income support the price. Do not rely on a flip or refinance uplift without further evidence.

Works Required

No specific refurbishment works are evidenced. Allow for inspection, compliance checks and any tenanting or maintenance works identified during due diligence, but no numeric works allowance is included.

Rental & Market Context

Sold Comparables

The following completed sales were identified within approximately 5 miles:

Potential BRRR Position

At the guide price, the purchase plus the known 2.4% buyer premium is £281,600, excluding finance, legal, tax and any unknown special-condition costs. A 75% refinance against the £275,000 base GDV would be £206,250, leaving an indicative £75,350 before finance, tax and other costs. The refinance case is highly dependent on proving additional income, lease terms and the lender's treatment of the mixed-use property.

Buy-to-Let Analysis

The only evidenced income is £910 pcm (£10,920 per annum) from the ground-floor teaching office suite. Income from the remaining retail and office accommodation is not supplied, so a whole-property rental yield cannot be established. Against the £275,000 guide, the known income alone produces 3.97% gross before costs; including the 2.4% buyer premium, the known-income yield is 3.88%.

Flip Analysis

The £275,000 base GDV is supported by the same-address completed sale. With purchase and the known buyer premium totalling £281,600 before works and selling costs, the project is already £6,600 above the base GDV. No supported selling-cost allowance or refurbishment budget is available, so a reliable flip surplus cannot be calculated.

Investor Risks & Due Diligence

• The property is only partially let and income from the remaining retail and office accommodation is unknown.

• The supplied rent relates only to No. 7 and cannot establish the whole-property yield.

• Lease details, tenant covenants and expiry or review information are not supplied.

• Condition, compliance requirements and any refurbishment or re-letting costs are unknown.

• Additional fees may be listed in the Special Conditions of Sale and have not been included.

• The base GDV relies principally on one same-address comparable and is not a formal valuation.

• The property tenure is not supplied, while the closest comparable is recorded as leasehold.

Recommendation

Proceed only as a cautious income-led commercial investment if leases, vacant-unit prospects, tenant quality and full property income support the price. Do not rely on a flip or refinance uplift without further evidence.

Strategy Rating

Analysis Confidence

There is one highly relevant same-address completed sale and one evidenced passing rent, but the tenure, leases, occupancy of the other units, full rental value, condition, works and additional costs are not supplied.
