Colchester is a thriving university and garrison town and the principal commercial centre of North East Essex with over 450,000 people within a 20 minute drive. The town is experiencing a period of substantial growth with considerable new development planned over the next decade.
From enquiries with the Local Authority we understand the premises currently have a combined assessment with the adjoining property at 71 Crouch Street. We calculate that following re-assessment as separate units the rateable value for 69 Crouch Street is likely to be a figure approaching £18,000 which will equate to business rates payable of some £8,950 for the year 2016/2017.
