Oldham Light Industrial to Rent

Substantial Vehicle Showroom, Workshop & Trade Premises - To Let Park Road, Oldham, OL4 1SR 20,078 sq ft (1,865.28 sq m) on a self-contained site of 1.73 acres (0.7 hectares) A rare opportunity to secure a substantial, self-contained commercial site in a highly prominent position fronting the A62 Park Road, one of the principal arterial routes into Oldham town centre. Available with vacant possession from 1 September on a new full repairing and insuring lease. Most recently traded as a main dealer showroom and service centre, it provides an exceptional platform for motor trade, trade counter, industrial and storage occupiers, with alternative uses considered subject to planning. Key aspects include: * 20,078 sq ft across four detached buildings on a level, self-contained 1.73 acre site * Extended, unobstructed A62 frontage with substantial passing traffic * Circa 100 marked spaces - 55 display bays, 47 customer and staff spaces, 5 MOT spaces * Showroom, workshop, offices, valeting unit and modular building all included * Established Sui Generis use; vacant possession from 1 September Location Oldham lies within Greater Manchester amid the Pennines, approximately 6.9 miles north-east of Manchester city centre, serving a borough population in excess of 230,000. The property occupies a commanding roadside position on Park Road (A62), immediately south of the town centre near its junction with the A627 Ashton Road, opposite Alexandra Park. The M62 lies approximately 4 miles north via the M60 at Collingwood and the A627(M) at Chadderton, with further 'A' road links to Ashton-under-Lyne, Huddersfield, Manchester and Rochdale. Oldham King Street and Oldham Mumps Metrolink stops are close by. The extended frontage, open forecourt and visibility from both directions of the A62 deliver a level of exposure that is difficult to replicate elsewhere in the town. Description Four detached buildings provide two showrooms, ancillary offices, a substantial workshop, valeting and MOT facilities, together with large external display areas and forecourt parking. The main showroom is steel framed, with double glazed aluminium display windows to the eastern and western elevations and profiled insulated cladding elsewhere, benefiting from a suspended ceiling with inset lighting, gas fired warm air heating, two partitioned offices, kitchen, store and WCs. A separate 1,105 sq ft modular building provides further showroom or office space and is included within the letting. The workshop is steel portal framed with full height brick elevations beneath a pitched roof, accessed via a 3.2m roller shutter door, with a large reception leading through to stores and first floor offices, a steel framed mezzanine and basement storage below. The first floor offices are carpeted, plastered and centrally heated with suspended ceilings and inset strip lighting. A separate valeting unit is of basic specification with concrete floor and strip lighting. Accommodation Modular showroom / office - 102.70 sq m / 1,105 sq ft Main showroom - 247.55 sq m / 2,665 sq ft Workshop - 695.25 sq m / 7,484 sq ft Ground floor office / stores - 313.29 sq m / 3,372 sq ft First floor offices - 139.88 sq m / 1,506 sq ft Mezzanine - 133.17 sq m / 1,433 sq ft Basement - 135.90 sq m / 1,463 sq ft Valeting unit - 97.54 sq m / 1,050 sq ft Total GIA - 1,865.28 sq m / 20,078 sq ft Site area - 0.7 hectares / 1.73 acres All areas are approximate and given for guidance only. The Opportunity The property is offered as a whole and the landlord's preference is for a single occupier on a long-term basis. The combination of showroom, workshop, office and extensive external area allows an occupier to consolidate multiple functions onto one self-contained, highly visible site at an overall rent of approximately £10 per sq ft, with no separate value attributed to the 1.73 acres of external area. The landlord will nonetheless consider letting in parts where a whole-site letting is not achieved; the buildings are detached and the layout lends itself to separate demises. Requirements for part are welcomed. Uses The established Sui Generis use suits dealerships, used car sales, servicing, MOT, tyre and fast-fit, bodyshop, vehicle preparation, rental, leasing, fleet and EV operators without any change of use. Alternative uses will be considered subject to planning, including trade counter and merchant, light industrial, storage and distribution, self-storage, indoor leisure and training use. Prospective occupiers should make their own enquiries of Oldham Council and discuss proposals with the agents at an early stage. Terms * Tenure: new full repairing and insuring lease direct from the landlord * Rent: approximately £10 per sq ft * Term: by negotiation, long term preferred. Vacant possession. * Subdivision: requirements for part considered, terms by negotiation * Service charge: none on a whole-site letting; applicable in the event of a multi-let * Insurance: arranged by the landlord and recharged to the tenant * VAT: to be confirmed - assume applicable to rent and other sums * Legal costs: each party to bear their own * AML: two forms of identification and confirmation of source of funds required Business Rates Oldham Council. Showroom and premises. Rateable Value £137,000 (2024/2025 list). The assessment is expected to be reviewed and any subdivision would require reassessment. Rates are payable by the occupier, who should make their own enquiries of the VOA. EPC An Energy Performance Certificate is being prepared and will be available on request. Why Oldham? Occupational costs across the borough remain materially below central Manchester and the M60 corridor - a difference that is significant at this scale - alongside a large skilled labour pool and a catchment extending across Rochdale, Tameside and North Manchester. Roadside sites of this nature are a finite resource and are steadily being lost to redevelopment. Who Is It For? * Motor trade operators seeking a ready-to-trade showroom and workshop facility * Businesses consolidating showroom, workshop, office and storage onto one site * Trade counter, merchant and distribution operators needing prominence and yard space * Occupiers with substantial vehicle or fleet parking requirements FAQs Q: Is the property available as a whole? A: Yes, and this is the landlord's preference at £200,000 per annum. Q: Will the landlord split it? A: Letting in parts will be considered where a whole-site letting is not achieved. Q: Is the modular building included? A: Yes. Q: Can it be used for something other than motor trade? A: Alternative uses considered subject to planning. Please discuss with the agents. Viewings strictly by appointment through the joint agents, SURVPROP and Mill & Foundry. All statements are made subject to contract and form no part of any contract o

Frequently Asked Questions About Renting Light Industrial Units in UK

Search all light industrial units
What is a light industrial unit?
A light industrial unit is a commercial property typically used for activities such as manufacturing, assembly, storage, distribution and workshop operations. These premises are generally suitable for businesses that require operational space without the impacts associated with heavier industrial uses.
What types of businesses use light industrial units?
Light industrial space is used by a wide range of occupiers, including e-commerce businesses, tradespeople, manufacturers, food producers, logistics operators and service-based companies. Many growing businesses choose these properties because they can accommodate both operational and storage requirements.
What should I consider before renting a unit?
Important factors include location, transport links, loading facilities, power supply, parking, ceiling height, security and lease flexibility. You should also confirm that the property's planning use aligns with your intended business activity.
How much does light industrial space cost?
Rental costs vary depending on the location, size, specification and condition of the property. In addition to rent, occupiers should budget for business rates, utilities, insurance, service charges and any fit-out requirements.
What lease terms are typically available?
Lease lengths vary by property and landlord, with both short-term and longer-term agreements available. Before signing, it's important to understand any break clauses, rent reviews, repair obligations and restrictions on use.
Are business rates included in the rent?
Business rates are usually payable separately unless the property is offered on an all-inclusive basis. Depending on the circumstances, some occupiers may qualify for available business rates relief schemes.
Do I need planning permission for my business activity?
Many light industrial properties fall within Use Class E(g)(iii), although planning permissions can vary between sites. If your intended use differs from the existing permission, you may need approval from the local planning authority before operating from the property.
Can I make alterations to the property?
Minor alterations are often permitted with landlord approval, while more substantial works may require formal consent and, in some cases, planning or building regulations approval. Always review the lease before undertaking any changes.
What features are commonly found in light industrial units?
Many properties include roller shutter doors, three-phase electricity, concrete flooring, loading areas, office accommodation, welfare facilities and on-site parking. Specifications vary between buildings, so it's worth reviewing individual property details carefully.
Do I need insurance?
Most occupiers will require appropriate insurance cover, which may include public liability, employers' liability and contents insurance. The landlord will often insure the building itself, although responsibilities should be confirmed within the lease.
Can I sublet or assign my lease?
This will depend on the terms of the lease. Some agreements allow subletting or assignment with landlord consent, while others place restrictions on these arrangements. If flexibility is important, review these provisions before signing.
How can I find the right property?
Start by identifying your operational requirements, including size, location, access needs and budget. Comparing multiple properties and reviewing their specifications, lease terms and future expansion potential can help you find a space that supports your business effectively.
