Eddisons is pleased to announce the successful sale of a fully-let industrial estate in Bognor Regis for £1.87 million, demonstrating continued investor confidence in South Coast commercial property.
The freehold multi-let investment at Units 1-10, Block K, Southern Cross Trading Estate on Shripney Road comprises 10 individual units totalling 1,856.2 sq m (19,980 sq ft), occupied by established businesses serving the local area.
Nick Holtby, BSc (Hons) MRICS, Agency Surveyor at Eddisons, handled the transaction and said:
“This sale reflects the strong appetite among investors for well-located, income-producing industrial assets with diversified tenant bases. The estate's strategic position on one of Bognor Regis's primary commercial corridors, combined with its fully-let status, made it an attractive proposition.”
Property highlights drive investment appeal
The estate consists of 10 practical industrial units, each featuring front-facing roller shutter doors, office space, kitchenette and toilet facilities. The traditional specification includes concrete floors, brick masonry and profile clad walls beneath pitched roofs, with each unit independently served by a three-phase electrical supply.
Allocated parking is available directly in front of each unit, enhancing operational accessibility for tenants. Notably, there is a lapsed planning consent for an additional unit at the eastern end of the estate, offering potential for future development and value enhancement.
Diverse tenant mix provides income security
The estate benefits from a diverse range of occupiers, including City Plumbing Supplies Holdings Ltd, Parker's Food Machinery Plus Ltd, Euro2Go Express Freight LLP, Autosolution Ltd, South East Coast Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust, Eurocell Building Plastics Ltd, and Southern Cross Garage Ltd.
This varied tenant profile provides income resilience through reduced exposure to any single sector or business, a key consideration for investors seeking stable returns from commercial property.
Strategic South Coast location enhances value
Bognor Regis is a well-established coastal town in West Sussex with strong transport connections and a growing commercial presence. The property is strategically located off Shripney Road, one of the town's primary arterial routes serving as a key commercial corridor linking the town centre to the A29.
The A259 and nearby A27 provide convenient road access to Chichester, Portsmouth, Worthing and Brighton, with onward links to the A3(M) and M27, enabling efficient connections to London and the wider South East region. Bognor Regis railway station offers regular direct services to London Victoria and Gatwick Airport.
The immediate area around Shripney Road is home to a mix of national and local retailers, trade counter businesses and light industrial operators, contributing to a vibrant and well-supported commercial environment.
