The property occupies a highly visible corner position at the junction of Duke Street and Cemetery Road, within the heart of Birkdale, a popular and affluent Southport suburb characterised by a mix of independent retailers, cafés, bars and residential property.

The lower ground floor provides a fully fitted commercial kitchen, preparation areas, storage, pump room and ancillary accommodation.

†Traditional auction
Exchange occurs at the end of the auction. This means that if the reserve is met or exceeded and the auction timer reaches zero, the successful bidder is legally obliged to pay the purchase price and the seller will be legally obliged to sell the property. To ensure that the successful bidder proceeds, the buyer is automatically charged a holding deposit, which is held in a secure client account, pursuant to the terms of a holding deposit agreement.
* Pricing Information

Each property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the property will not be sold) which we expect will be set no more than 10% above the Guide Price amount.
