Office for sale

Manor Park Court, Manor Park WA7

Brook House is a self-contained, fully refurbished Grade A office building offering a compelling dual investment opportunity at Manor Park Court, Runcorn. Priced at £255,000, this 3,125 sq ft property delivers an immediate 14.1% gross yield at its current office rental value of £36,000 per annum, while also benefitting from approved planning permission for conversion into 6 x one-bedroom apartments - providing a clear route to significant capital uplift for developers.

Investment Opportunity...

Halton Borough Council granted Prior Approval in December 2025 under Class ma Permitted Development Rights for the conversion of Brook House into 6 residential studio flats. With planning secured, the building is development-ready - buyers can proceed directly to the construction phase without the cost, risk or delay of a full planning application. The approval requires work to commence within three years.

Alternatively, the property can continue to generate strong commercial income. At its established rental value of £36,000 per annum (£3,000 pcm / £11.52 per sq ft), Brook House offers an attractive 16% gross yield against the asking price. The building can also be occupied by two companies to reduce rates liability, making it an appealing proposition for owner-occupiers and investors alike.

Highest Specification...

The property has benefitted from a total refurbishment to Grade A standard. The work included a new suspended ceiling, new LED lighting, a new kitchen, full internal and external redecoration, new carpet throughout, and much more. The premium space is set over one floor and is dda compliant with male, female and disabled toilet facilities.

Internally there is a spacious open-plan office, a training room or further open-plan office with a separate entrance, shower and changing facilities, a fitted kitchen, a meeting room and staff area, and a dedicated server room. The specification includes Cat 5 cabling from perimeter trunking to the server room, gas central heating, air source comfort cooling, a full alarm and door entry system, and high-security shutters.

The landlord is open to installing security doors on the front elevation with a ramp and bollard for loading, making the property suitable for a variety of uses including gym, nursery and more, subject to the necessary planning consents.
