Unit 14-17, Metropolitan Business Park, Preston New Road, Blackpool, Lancashire, FY3 9LT

Property Details
Location
Description
A substantial terraced office building arranged over ground and first floor, extending to approximately 725 Sq M (7,804 Sq Ft), which is currently subdivided into multiple office suites and operated in part as a business centre/serviced office accommodation by the vendor.

The property currently generates a gross rental income of £139,000 per annum (as at 1 November 2025) with approximate utilities and Business Rates outgoings of £33,000 per annum. There is potential to increase the gross rental income to circa £160,000 per annum once vacant suites are let. Interested parties are advised that the rental income figure does fluctuate according to occupancy levels as tenants occupy on a licence basis.

The property could continue to be used as a business centre/serviced office accommodation, with potential Business Rates savings to be made by having office suites individually assessed. Alternatively, it could be let on a more traditional lease basis, or occupied as a headquarters by an owner-occupier.
Location
The property is located on the popular Metropolitan Business Park, off the A583 Preston New Road, approximately 3 miles from Blackpool town centre and less than 1.5 miles from the M55 motorway, which connects to the M6. Local shops/amenities include a Shell Petrol Station, Starbucks, Greggs, Kwik Fit, Wickes, McDonalds and KFC.
