FREEHOLD BUSINESS – A long-established vehicle repair and MOT test station with a long-established repeat customer base. The business has always produced strong levels of turnover and profit and continues to do so. Our client is now looking to retire after having owned and operated the business for over 25 years. This represents a fantastic opportunity for a new owner to drive trade much harder with renewed enthusiasm and energy.

More detailed accounting information will be made available to prospective buyers after viewing the property. There may also be the opportunity to re-develop the site for alternative uses, subject to gaining the relevant planning permissions.
