Blacks Business Brokers are delighted to announce the successful letting of a prime retail premises located on the junction of Crostons Road and Bolton Road in Bury, Greater Manchester. The two-storey, double-fronted property, which was previously vacant, has now been let to a new occupier who recognised the significant potential of this adaptable and versatile site.
The property itself represents a textbook example of what many small to medium sized business owners are looking for when seeking a new base. Situated within a well-established retail parade, the unit benefits from exceptional visibility in a high-traffic location, surrounded by both residential and commercial properties. This combination creates a ready-made audience for any customer-facing business, ensuring a steady flow of passing trade and walk-in opportunities.
The ground floor provides a substantial showroom area, accompanied by a stock room, while the first floor offers flexibility with a large landing that can be converted into a kitchen or staff area. In addition, there are two spacious rooms including a large office that could easily be subdivided, plus another front-facing room, offering adaptability for a wide range of operational requirements. Modern touches such as double glazing throughout and electric boiler heating add to the overall appeal, while the exterior benefits from a dedicated parking area with the potential to expand capacity to 6–8 vehicles by separate agreement.
The new lease was agreed swiftly thanks to the proactive marketing efforts of Blacks Business Brokers. By promoting the property’s standout features, including its prominent roadside position, attractive rental rate of £160 per week, and immediate availability, interest levels were high from the outset. The outcome is a mutually beneficial arrangement that brings a vacant building back into productive use while offering the new tenant a fantastic platform on which to grow their business.
One of the most significant advantages of this location is its connectivity. Bury itself enjoys strong transport links, with the nearby M66 and A58 offering easy access to surrounding towns and cities, including Bolton just 5.5 miles to the west and Rochdale approximately 6 miles to the north-east. This accessibility not only benefits customers but also provides logistical convenience for staff and suppliers, making the property even more attractive as a business base.
Speaking about the letting, Callum Pollard, the Sales Negotiator at Blacks Business Brokers who handled the transaction, said: “We are thrilled to have secured a new occupier for this excellent property in Bury. Its location, layout and competitive rental terms made it an outstanding opportunity, and it is always rewarding to see a building that was previously vacant now ready to be brought back into active use. This is exactly the kind of outcome we strive for at Blacks, and it underlines the value of engaging a specialist broker when marketing commercial premises.”
For landlords, engaging a dedicated business broker can make all the difference in finding suitable tenants quickly and efficiently. In this case, the use of professional marketing materials, a detailed property profile, and a clear communication strategy ensured that the premises attracted serious interest from the start. Unlike traditional estate agents who may focus broadly across residential and commercial sectors, Blacks specialise in the business marketplace, allowing them to connect opportunities with the right type of occupiers.
For the new tenant, the property offers everything needed to establish a thriving enterprise. With an adaptable internal layout, excellent roadside presence, on-site parking, and proximity to a busy local community, the ingredients are in place for long-term success. The fact that the property was immediately available also meant the new occupier could move quickly to get operations up and running, minimising downtime and maximising potential.
This successful letting once again highlights the role that Blacks Business Brokers play in supporting both property owners and entrepreneurs. By focusing on practical outcomes, they are able to turn vacant premises into productive spaces that contribute to local economies while providing business owners with the foundations they need.
