Great Britain is becoming an increasingly expensive country to live and work in. Fuel is at a record high price, and this has had the knock-on effect of raising the prices of essentials, from food to clothing.
The south and south east of the country are reportedly now the most costly areas of the country to buy or rent residential and commercial property, with rich foreign investors increasingly outbidding British businesses in cities such as London, Portsmouth and Reading.
This makes now an ideal time for investors to look elsewhere for operational locations for their business, and Movehut believes that Stoke-on-Trent, and the county of Staffordshire overall, offers a fantastic location with plenty to attract both national and international companies to the area.
Firstly, the prices in Staffordshire are very reasonable when compared to rising costs elsewhere in the country. For example, local chartered surveyors Louis Taylor have many properties in the region which are suited to various industries. An adaptable warehouse space for £15,750 per annum gives plenty of scope for haulage or industrial companies, among others. Also, it is located in Tunstall, Stoke-on-Trent, giving excellent road access to the A500 and M6 as well as national public transport access.
Louis Taylor is also currently advertising two office properties, one to rent and one to buy. Keele Valley Business Park is on sale for a cool £2, 698, 410 – however, the property is well worth the price tag, as included in the sale is four brand new office buildings, landscaped grounds and secure car parking facilities, as well as modern decorated interiors in each of the buildings. With an ideal location for road access and public transport in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Movehut feels this property will generate a lot of interest.
However, if this is a little out of your price range, an opportunity has arisen to acquire 2037 square feet of office space for the low cost of £20,370 per annum. The first floor suite can be found in Trentham Office Village, which is a prestigious office location within the city limits of Stoke-on-Trent.
As well as the excellent commercial property available at reasonable cost in the area, Staffordshire boasts beautiful scenery and plenty of access to major cities in the West Midlands and North West, as well as being only a short drive from the sandy beaches of North Wales. This gives anyone living in the area plenty of options when looking for weekend activities – making the short journey to Manchester or Birmingham; taking advantage of the excellent public transport links or connecting to the A55 to explore the North Wales coast. Or you may want to simply enjoying a stroll in the beautiful Staffordshire countryside are all viable options for those living and working in and around Stoke-on-Trent.
Who knows, maybe your business venture to the West Midlands could prove to be the best investment you could ever make, both in working and living terms!
