Unit 5, Fish Market North
A fantastic and unique opportunity has arisen to acquire a perfectly situated property in the heart of Lowestoft Fishing Docks.
The building itself is freehold, however there is £100 per week ground rent payable as the entire port is owned by a different company. There is current 5 years left on the lease, and the landlord has already indicated that they would be more than happy to extend the lease to a company which is operating a business which is suitable for this location, such as a fish merchant, diving company, renewables company etc.
This well-built and perfectly located commercial unit is based on Lowestoft Fishing Docks, just a stone’s throw from the water. For over 30 years it has been used as a fish merchants, but with big investments coming into Lowestoft from offshore and renewables companies, this could be the perfect base for a number of different businesses and for a variety of different uses.
The Port of Lowestoft handles around 30,000 tonnes of cargo per year and together with ABP’s other two East Anglian ports, King’s Lynn and Ipswich, contributes £360 million to the economy and support 5,300 jobs. Lowestoft has emerged as a thriving centre for companies servicing the offshore energy industry.
There will be huge investments in the renewables sector over the next few years, and Lowestoft itself will benefit greatly from this. There will be an increase in jobs for the local community, which will add to the local economy and help fuel even more interest in people looking to move to the area.
