Agent secures sale of landmark store

BB&J Commercial has completed the successful sale of a landmark furniture store in Mickleover.

Originally established in 1976, Finewood Studios, in Station Road, was a respected family-run furniture store for nearly 50 years before closing its doors in March 2023.

Now, BB&J has sold the property to MHL Commercial, which plans to transform the site into a mixed-use scheme.

According to BB&J, the site attracted significant interest from both local and national developers.

Cameron Godfrey, agency surveyor at BB&J Commercial, who oversaw the transaction, said: “This was an exciting but complex transaction, and from the outset, we anticipated strong interest due to its size, location, and redevelopment potential.

“However, the response exceeded expectations, with significant enquiries from developers across the country.

“MHL Commercial emerged as the ideal purchaser, with a strong vision for the site’s future and a commitment to seeing the transaction through.”
