A prominently positioned Freehold building in the heart of Reading, benefiting from approved planning consent for the conversion of the upper floors into two spacious 3-bedroom apartments, each measuring approximately 104 sq m (Planning Ref: PL/23/1535, Reading Borough Council).
The property currently generates a strong and reliable income from the ground-floor commercial unit and on-site car park, producing a combined £19,000 per annum.
This investment provides both immediate rental income and significant potential for capital growth through the residential conversion already approved.

* Generally speaking Guide Prices are provided as an indication of each seller's minimum expectation, i.e. 'The Reserve'. They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction. Virtually every property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we expect will be set within the Guide Range or no more than 10% above a single figure Guide.
By setting a proxy bid, the system will automatically bid on your behalf to maintain your position as the highest bidder, up to your proxy bid amount. If you are outbid, you will be notified via email so you can opt to increase your bid if you so choose.
If two of more users place identical bids, the bid that was placed first takes precedence, and this includes proxy bids.
Another bidder placed an automatic proxy bid greater or equal to the bid you have just placed. You will need to bid again to stand a chance of winning.
