CENTRAL ELY RETAIL AND OFFICES SOLD
The former newspaper offices in Market Place, Ely, have been sold by Robinson Layer to a local property investor, close to the asking price of £285,000.
Mark Robinson said: “This is a prominent property with ground floor retail premises of about 370 sq ft and offices over of some 400 sq ft. It had a long history as the location for the Ely News, but it was a complex deal to finalise after two abortive sales because of a number of issues relating to improving the building’s energy efficiency rating and a defective registered title not recording a flying freehold and rear garden as part of the property. It required a visit by an inspector from the Land Registry to confirm the errors and rectify the title, but it finally went through after almost a year of delay.
“Being a selling agent does demand perseverance with a site like this!”
