Travis Perkins seeks £8m for Warrington site

The builders’ merchant has brought an 11-acre site, including a 110,000 sq ft distribution complex in Appleton to market, with an asking price of £7.95m.

Avison Young and B8 Real Estate have been appointed as joint agents by the vendor for the site, which lies within a mile of the M6 and M56 intersections and four miles south of Warrington town centre.

The existing pair of units on the freehold plot give the site a density of 23%, and offer recently refurbished industrial space with ancillary offices and yards.

Simon Hampson, director at Avison Young’s Manchester office, said: “There remains a shortage of industrial space in the market, especially in Warrington, and following its recent refurbishment, a freehold opportunity of this size and quality is rare.

“The site comprises a large main warehouse and an open sided warehouse, ideal for large distributors and we expect the site to generate a lot of interest.”
