The subject property occupies an outstanding and highly visible corner trading position with little in the way of direct local competition in the densely populated mixed residential and commercial suburb of Southwick, which lies with excellent access to major road links (A1018, A1231, A184 and A19 etc.) on the outskirts of the vibrant coastal city of Sunderland on Tyne and Wear.

We are delighted to present this marvellous opportunity to acquire the valuable freehold rights to a thriving commercial proposition of real 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 conducts an extremely useful, popular and highly efficient sales and fitting operation of an extensive selection of new tyres by market-leading manufacturers for all manner of private and light commercial vehicles, with associated professional general repairs and wheel balancing services also available.

“Foremost Tyres (Sunderland) Ltd” provides its services for a long-standing and still-expanding, repeat and referral client base, ranging from private vehicle owners to small fleet operators 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 regards to possible expansion into the provision of local mobile services and to the possible introduction of Sunday trading in order to exploit the full potential sales and technical capacity of its facilities.

The business would also benefit greatly by adopting a far more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing services, particularly with reference to further development of its web and social media presence, in order to improve upon the already impressive levels of turnover it has achieved in the course of almost forty highly successful years’ trading in the hands of the current director, with the aid of a small, experienced and motivated team of three full-time and one part-time staff who would be an asset to any purchaser.

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 diverse and professional automotive supplies and solutions services market by the acquisition of a dynamic and extremely well located additional specialist independent freehold operator with a priceless local name, a superb range of market-leading services and an already impressive client base, and we would strongly urge any genuine interested parties to pursue the earliest possible enquiries.

Affording easy vehicle access by means of large, full-height steel industrial roller shutter doors, these substantial and extremely well fitted, single storey freehold commercial premises provide excellent and highly functional internal business accommodation, which briefly comprises the main, bright and good-sized, open-plan ‘drive in’ tyre bay with concrete flooring, high ceiling, diffused fluorescent lighting throughout and workbench area.

The workshop is equipped to high industry specifications with a full complement of well maintained, industry standard plant and tools including tyre fitting and wheel balancing systems, all of which we understand is to be included in the sale price, along with all existing tyre and ancillary stock at the time of sale, and further details of which will be available upon request to any genuine interested parties.

Further ancillary accommodation to the workshop area consists of 2 x good-sized and fully racked tyre stores, together with a separate compressor store.

Accessed by means of its own separate public entrance, the premises also incorporate a bright, welcoming, fully furnished and equipped client reception, sales and general administration office with full complement of telephone lines, payment facilities and industry-specific business management systems.

The premises also incorporate a fully fitted and furnished staff kitchen/restroom area, with further ancillary accommodation consisting of an attached toilet block with its own separate entrance from the forecourt area, which houses all the usual washroom/WC facilities for customers and staff.

The property also enjoys the benefit of mains electricity and water supplies, in addition to the added security benefit of a full alarm system.

Externally:

Occupying an outstanding and highly visible corner trading position with little in the way of direct local competition on a busy suburban main road on the outskirts of Sunderland on Tyne and Wear, to the exterior the premises are well signed and incorporate a substantial and well maintained, concrete-surfaced forecourt area providing extensive external tyre display and unrestricted off-road parking facilities.

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