Looking for shop premises


NaturesPurest

Recommended Posts

It's also well out of the way, nowhere near Lordship Lane or North Cross Road, and hardly likely to get much passing trade .... you'd have to be a specialist destination shop for it to have any chance of working, I'd say.


It could/should have worked as a restaurant, given its location opposite the Rye, but - it didn't .....

Speaking of the gardens cafe (electric engineers), it's a big unit, I wonder if the landlord has considered splitting it in two?

Blackbird rent the shop, the property is being sold tenanted.

Thanks everyone for your help so far. I work for a company called Natures Purest and we manufacture and sell baby products (toys, clothing, bedding, gifts etc) made from organic and ethical materials. www.naturespurest.co.uk if you'd like to check us out.

We like the look of East Dulwich as it is obviously very popular with families.

As for rent and rates, they can be shockingly high and some ask for a premium (a one-off payment, just for the privilege of paying rent each month).

I'm very biased but I think you come and check out lovely Honor Oak Park! It's only a mile from Lordship Lane, loads of families and I bet your products would go down a storm here.


Our little parade of shops includes a deli, an organic beauty salon, a little boutique with homeware, clothes and jewellery, a Sainsbury's Local, a tapas bar and a new sourdough gourmet pizza place alongside the usual newsagents, chippy etc.


I'm sure there are a few vacant units at the moment. Might be worth a look.

It's presumably not available to be rented by somebody else, then. Glad Blackbird are staying!

It didn't because in line of sight 400mtres there was The Caf? on the Rye..

selling tea cakes and snacks at half the price.


The electrical shop is on a busy main road whereas The Caf? on the Rye has a safe area

for the kiddies to run around and where people can exercise their pooches.


and with the Clock House serving meals all day the electrical shop did/does not stand a chance.


Simples.

It does stand a chance if the right business goes into it, what holds this back is the extortionate rent being asked for by the landlord coupled to the rates. You need to turn over approx ?45,000 per annum just to cover rent and rates there before you earn a penny. Am surprised the previous tenant survived so long before giving up.

    • We were trying to contact Steve on 07990904375, following this post and yet there wasn't any reply from this number. Is it a correct number to contact Steve for decoration work?  
    • You might be 'amused' but obviously its something thats enough of a concern that there are specific rules in the entrance criteria to specifically disallow this, so not exactly comparative.  Aside from the flawed analysis, the idea of so much movement that there is a massive cost to the taxpayer of finding extra schooling is also unlikely.  As I noted upthread, the cost of private school education has increased dramatically in recent years.  Increases in fees over 10% per annum in some cases, so the idea that the application of VAT would drive the majority out just isn't the case.  There will be some who can't afford it any more. But then there are lots of people who couldn't afford it in the first place. Anyone who has accepted a school place in the last 2-3 years will have known this was Labour's policy, so their kids will be in year 9 by the time Labour gets in.  That would mean that only parents of those with children in years 10/11 likely to have been unaware when signing up.  They can obviously move their children for sixth form if needed.  The others shouldn't be surprised!  Those with children in juniors will need to take a view whether affordable or move to the state sector.
