Buying a post office in the UK
A busy post office has potential for steady net profit, as it offers a fundamental public service to local residents. There are nearly 20,000 post offices in the UK, and many of us visit one at least once a week. But a post office is about more than just sending and receiving mail, as there are various additional services it can offer.
In addition to the main post office hub offering a range of postal services, it’s common for a post office to develop retail trade by also serving as a village shop or a convenience store, increasing the potential for net profit. Customers can send and receive packages at your main post office counter, then visit your retail counter to pick up groceries, gifts, stationery and more.
At Christie & Co, our commercial property professionals are experts in selling businesses of all types, and they certainly know how to negotiate post office sales. Contact us today to see if there’s a freehold post office for sale in your preferred area.
