A Royal Mail facility in a Wiltshire town has been put on the market for over £600,000.

The property has been described by estate agent Graham Sibbald as an “investment opportunity”, with any new buyer positioned to receive an annual rent of £37,780 from Royal Mail.

A listing added: “The property was built for Royal Mail as their delivery and sorting office.

“It is a detached industrial warehouse building of steel portal frame construction with brick and block walls under a tiled mansard style roof.

“The building sits on a 0.428 acre site benefitting from a concrete brushed finish.

“The secure yard has 11 marked car parking spaces, and there are a further nine allocated car parking spaces to the side of the property.”

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

We should expect to see more of this over the coming years. Freeing up capital or asset stripping as they don't call it.

Presumably RM will dump a percentage of properties in the next 5 to 10 year timeframe as the USO declines?

I wouldn't put it past RM to relocate loads of DOs from town centres to industrial estates either on the edge of town or outside of a town.

The Czech Billionaire owner loves real estate. Expect more D.Os to be sold after the USO changes finish this year.
