LIVERPOOL commercial property agents Hitchcock Wright and Partners have been appointed to sell the historic Bands Building in Liverpool city centre.

The building is located at 8 Vernon Street within the central business district.

The distinctive grade II listed red brick building totals more than 7,000 sq ft on four floors.

Three floors are currently vacant and the building hasŠ two existing tenants producing an income of £12,250 pa net making the property ideal for an owner occupier or investor.

Hitchcock Wright says its location offers access to local shops and bus routes.

Moorfields railway station offering access to the Merseyrail network and wider national rail network is only five minutes walk away.

Offers are being invited in the region of £430,000 for the freehold and interest should be expressed through Brian Ricketts of Hitchcock Wright & Partners.

Constructed at the turn of the 20th century, the red pressed brick facade is punctuatedŠ by the original crane hoist which runs the full height of the building.

Internally potential purchasers can see the original cast iron balustrade which winds up the full four floors to the top of the building.

“The roof space is really something else,” said Brian Ricketts a partner at HW&P.

“The roof is multi-pitch so the top floor is double height with exposed beams and trusses.

“This is a real architectural gem of a property and would make an ideal space for an architect’s practice, design studio or suit any occupier seeking a unique inspirational office space with bags of natural light.”
