An unnamed family property company has bought 45-47a High Street, in Crawley town centre, for more than £1.25m.
The 4,522 sq ft ‘The Square’ consists of two adjoining buildings, with No. 45 leased to Countrywide estates and No. 47 leased to a Turkish restaurant on the ground floor with staff areas, offices and kitchens on the first floor.
Martin Clark, partner at SHW, who sold the building on behalf of a private client, said: “SHW let No. 47 on a new 15-year lease, with no breaks, to Turkish restaurant operator Turkuaz Crawley, and we were subsequently instructed to sell the two properties as an investment.
“Through our marketing and network of contacts and applicants we generated significant interest resulting in seven viewings in three days, necessitating an informal best bids process, achieving a sale price significantly over asking price.”
