    Advice on potential purchase of a workshop

    Hi Sam, thanks for help. Yes, getting the gear there and set up would be a chore and a lot of money. And you're right about storage and cabinetry, and also that he can't really sell it to anyone else! He isn't offering a trade name, but that isn't something I would be interested in. He was also...

    Advice on potential purchase of a workshop

    Hi Sideways. This has been incredibly helpful. Thank you very much. The actual building is solid and has a good feel. It's close to me and the rent is good. It is well located (for Devon). I have another income so the stress of turning a profit pronto is not too high. As to machines and...

    Advice on potential purchase of a workshop

    HI Jacob, thanks for the message. It is mostly 3 phase, but i didnt know/think about the resale issue so that is good to know, especially since i suspect I'd upgrade kit in due course.

    Advice on potential purchase of a workshop

    Hi Brian. Thanks a lot for the advice. I did actually go down a couple of months ago (when the price was £20,000), and asked as many questions as I could think of. I did ask how he priced it, and he said by the value of the machines + cost to transport and the fact it is a 'walk-in and get going...

    Advice on potential purchase of a workshop

    Hi Roy, thank you for the message. Yes, you're assumption is correct - the price is for the gear, the lease would need to be renegotiated with the leaseholder (currently £420 a month). I've been putting together a price list of the machines from what I can find on the internet. Some harder to...

    Hi Everyone I'm coming to the end of my training as a furniture maker. Down in Devon and saw this workshop nearby. Just wondering whether anyone has any opinions on the price/set up...
