301 Fitzherbert Avenue, West End, Palmerston North

This sale is for the business only and is a humdinger of an opportunity! The current owner is overseas and says 'Sell Now' we ain't coming back! So in brief there are 14 units, a three-bed house and extensive grounds of 3089m2 more or less. With approximately 9 years left on the lease and some TLC required this is an opportunity to get into the industry at a price point to make your eyes water. Call or email me for more information, but be quick this business has got to be sold now!
