The subject property occupies an ideal and very convenient trading position among other independent operators on the busy mixed residential and commercial outskirts of the charming and prosperous seaside town and resort of Dawlish, which lies on the busy main A379 tourist route to Torquay and the historic city of Exeter (approximately 12 miles) on the delightful and ever-popular Devon coast.

We are delighted to present this fantastic opportunity to acquire the valuable freehold rights to a thriving commercial proposition of exceptional quality and outstanding future possibilities, which we are confident you will agree represents genuine value.

This long established and highly regarded limited company currently primarily undertakes a virtually ‘one stop’ range of professional and fully accredited construction, property maintenance and improvements solutions employing its own extensive inventory of high quality plant and vehicles, and prides itself on offering “high level work at low level prices”.

The company offers services ranging from basic maintenance and repairs, plumbing, electrics, roofing, external hard landscaping and bespoke painting and decorating, to full residential new builds, with a fully contracting, fast-response repairs service also available on an emergency 24-hour call-out basis.

“T J Smith Contracting Ltd” provides its services for a long-standing and still-expanding repeat and referral, ‘one off’ and contracting client base, ranging from private homeowners and landlords to ‘blue chip’ building companies drawn from throughout a wide surrounding catchment area, and operates from premises of a size which would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth, not least with regard to possible investment in additional employed or self-employed qualified staff in order to fully exploit year-round local and regional demand.

The business would also benefit greatly by adopting a far more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing services, particularly with reference to the possible introduction of online advertising, in order to improve upon the already impressive levels of turnover it has achieved since being established in its present form in 1986 by the current director, with the aid only of a small, experienced and motivated team of two full-time employed staff and a reliable pool of sub-contracting specialists employed on an ad hoc basis dependent upon the requirements of any individual project.

Alternatively, this versatile proposition would most certainly appeal to some similar-sized or larger allied enterprise looking to very significantly increase its existing share of the professional construction and property maintenance solutions services market by the acquisition of a dynamic and extremely well located additional independent freehold operator with a valuable name in the industry, an already impressive client base and a very healthy volume of ongoing and future projects, and we would strongly urge any genuine interested parties to pursue the earliest possible enquiries.

Consisting of a substantial and well maintained freehold site with steel perimeter fencing and secure gated access, the property naturally affords extensive and secure unrestricted off-road parking and storage facilities for larger building materials and plant.

Affording easy vehicle access for deliveries and despatches, the premises also offer well fitted internal business accommodation, which briefly comprises 3 x substantial and purpose-built, single-storey-steel portal-framed buildings with concrete flooring, high apex ceilings and diffused fluorescent lighting throughout.

Two of the buildings are currently employed as maintenance and repairs workshop areas for the company’s extensive inventory of plant and vehicles with a full complement of well maintained, industry standard workshop equipment including vehicle ramp, with the third building currently being employed for storage warehouse and goods inward/outward purposes with fork-lift truck for loading and unloading purposes.

Further ancillary on-site business accommodation consists of a fully fitted and equipped, timber-built reception and general administration office.

The premises also enjoy the benefit of extensive CCTV monitoring.

*We are further informed that an extensive and valuable inventory of all the well maintained, “cherry pickers” and associated industry standard plant necessary for the successful operating of the business is to be included in the sale price, together with a substantial fleet of vehicles, including tippers and tower wagons up to 18,000kg, further details of which will be available upon request to any generous interested parties.

The business is well fitted throughout and a valuable inventory of equipment is to be included in the sale price
