Business Description
Veritas Business Sales offer to the market this well established Freehold Post Office, Off Licence & Convenience Store in Handsworth Wood, Birmingham. The property benefits from a self-contained flat with 3 bedrooms, kitchen/diner and bathroom on the first floor. The business has been established for many years and run by the current owners for 27 years and they are now looking to enjoy a well deserved RETIREMENT.
The business premises have been extended and much improved by the current owners by the addition of an off licence and a well maintained modern interior. The rear of the property has a tarmacked forecourt and a good size hard-standing rear garden and patio area with a rear access road, therefore providing potential for further expansion to increase turnover. Coopers Road Post Office is owner operated and comes with no staffing liabilities for year ending 31st March 2024 and posted an annual turnover of £256,647. They retail newspapers, magazines, greeting cards, stationery, groceries, frozen foods, pet foods, household goods, dairy products, confectionary, cold drinks, alcohol and beers and a photocopy service. In addition to the shop sales, the post office produces an annually increasing remuneration of £27,000-£30,000 per annum. The accommodation above can either be utilised as living accommodation for potential purchasers or rented out to generate a further income.
We believe there is potential to increase turnover by extending the current floor space into the rear, increase the current opening times, especially on Sundays and the addition of fresh green grocery products. The current business owners have built a strong reputation within the local community and as such have a high level of regular and repeat trade. This is a superb opportunity to purchase a turnkey successful business but with further opportunity for expansion. We highly recommend an early viewing for this excellent business.

Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
