Council-owned business premises
Information about Council-owned properties available for business owners to purchase or rent.
Renting properties
We own a number of commercial properties to rent which are let to local businesses. The majority of these are lock-up shops but they also include offices, workshops and other commercial properties.
Our commercial properties are managed by Avison Young, Real Estate Management, our Valuation and Asset Management Service, assisted by consultant surveyors. Enquiries about commercial lettings should be made direct to the managing agents and not to the Council.
The vast majority of these premises are currently let. If you wish to receive details when units become available, please send an outline of the type and approximate size of property you are interested in, along with your name, address and phone number, to the managing agents:
