About this property

    We’re excited to bring to market this two-storey mixed-use property for leasehold sale, perfectly positioned for both strong immediate income and future growth.

    📍 Location Advantage:
    Situated right on Vicarage Road, next to Watford Football Stadium, this property enjoys exceptional footfall on match days, making it an ideal location for a thriving takeaway or other high-demand retail use.

    🏠 Property Highlights:

    Thriving takeaway business – currently operating as a chicken shop and fish & chip shop on football event days, achieving £2,000 per week in sales (as advised by current owner).

    Zero business rates – with a rateable value of under £12,000 per annum (as advised by current owner).

    Mixed-use configuration – Ground floor commercial unit (A5 takeaway use) plus a self-contained one-bedroom flat above, each with separate entrances for full privacy.

    Ultra-low rent – just £1,250 per month on a charitable lease, maximising profit margins.

    Immediate cash flow – one-bedroom flat brings in £1,500 per month rental income (as advised by current owner), fully covering the commercial rent and leaving surplus profit.

    Development potential – extend the rear of the ground floor to create additional residential accommodation (subject to planning permission) for extra income and capital growth.

    Long-term security – lease extension guaranteed, with 38 years remaining on current term.

    High-demand area – strong local rental demand ensures steady occupancy and returns.

    💡 Why This Deal Stands Out:
    With low fixed outgoings, a secure rental stream, and prime location near a major sports venue, this property offers instant profitability plus the potential to increase income and value through development.

    Perfect for investors looking to start strong or experienced operators seeking a high-yield, low-overhead location.
