Canvey Island – 45 Furtherwick Road
19 March 2026(2026 March) In Canvey Island, Essex, the two shops 45 and 51 Furtherwick Road pre-date my acting regularly for the landlord since 1976. Both shops are ground floor and first floor ancillary, with rear vehicle access. Furtherwick Road is Canvey’s principal road, the Knightswick Shopping Centre nearby.
51 had been used as sn optician for decades until a member of his family took over the practise. Staying power not in the same league, attempt to re-let unsuccessful, the freehold sold with vacant possession at Athawes Son & Co auction.
In 2002, 45 let to the charity, Marie Curie, for 10 years at £15,000 pax, holding-over since 2012 until s27 notice in 2025. I arranged for Southend-on-Sea commercial agents, Ayers & Cruiks, to procure a tenant, completed at asking £18,000 pax to a nail bar with another branch in NW London. Also a local building surveyor to inspect and serve a terminal schedule of dilapidations, agree damages for repairs (supervised) and fees. So impressed with this building survveyor, I have recommended on two occasions since. I advised throughout as usual.
