A chance to make some dough! Greggs fans can snap up their own branch of the beloved bakery for £100,000

One lucky Greggs fan will soon be bringing in the dough, as a branch has emerged for sale for £100,000.

The shop, located in Gateshead, near Newcastle, is being sold under the hammer by Auction House and advertised on Rightmove.

It sells all the High Street chain’s favourites, from sausage rolls, to steak beaks and bean and cheese melts.

Greggs, which has over 2,000 bakeries nationwide, has five years left on its lease and so the buyer will own their shop until at least 2028.

The bakery chain pays £1,472.50 rent per month to use the single-storey building, which works out at £17,670 a year.

This means that in a five-year period, the buyer will make back £88,350.

However, the downside is there are only 48 years left on the leasehold.

The listing reads: ‘The property comprises a single-storey ground floor retail unit.

‘Leasehold, the property is held on a 99-year lease from 25 December 1972, thus approximately 48 years unexpired.

‘The property is situated on a mixed-use road close to local shops and amenities.

It adds: ‘When purchasing a flat that has a short lease, it is important to understand that in addition to the purchase price if you wish to extend the lease to 90+ years, you will need to pay a premium to the freeholder.’
