A LETTING at a well known Bradford industrial estate and the sale of a former Methodist Church are among the latest deals to be announced by the Bradford office of chartered surveyors Eddisons.
The unit on Fowler Street Industrial Estate on Wakefield Road has been let to Zouk Deli Ltd off an asking rent of £7,950 a year.
The firm plans to use the 1,400 sq ft unit as a storage and distribution centre for its outside catering division, which supplies events and venues across the country, including Silverstone.
Meanwhile, existing tenant PPG Architectural Coatings UK has agreed to move to a more prominent location on the same site, which leaves just one unit still available.
The estate has become a major attraction for trade counter operators, with tenants including Yesss Electrical and Rexel Senate, a distributer of electrical supplies.
Elsewhere, the former Hawksbridge Baptist Church in Oxenhope is now under new ownership, having been sold off an asking price of £245,000.
The property on Moorside Lane occupies a site of around 0.39 acres and has been bought by a private individual who plans to convert it into one large residence. Eddisons concluded the sale on behalf of long standing client, Yorkshire Baptist Association.

A SITE in South Yorkshire which is earmarked for a new housing development is up for sale.
Colliers International has been instructed by pub company Mitchells & Butler to dispose of the plot in Finningley, Doncaster, which was recently granted outline planning consent.
Jonathan Edwards, development consulting and agency at Colliers International, said: “This is a strategic disposal instruction. We expect to generate a very high level of interest in this popular village location.”
Matthew Brennan, surveyor in Colliers International’s corporate solutions team, added: “This is one of a number of sites we have identified in conjunction with this client and are looking to bring to the market as we seek to draw value from their surplus assets.”
