Description
Mersey Move Commercial Estate Agents are pleased to present a rare opportunity to acquire a freehold roadside advertising investment prominently positioned on Southport Road, Ormskirk.
The property comprises a parcel of land extending to approximately 385 sq. yds, upon which two established 48-sheet advertising billboards are erected, providing dual advertising faces. The site benefits from a long-standing history of advertising use, supported by statutory documentation dating back to 1953, evidencing consistent and uninterrupted occupation.
The investment currently produces an income of approximately £12,000 per annum, excluding additional revenue streams such as design, print and installation, offering a straightforward and low-management income profile.
The site occupies a highly visible position on the A570, a key arterial route linking Ormskirk and Southport. Department for Transport data indicates that approximately 12,393 vehicles pass the site daily, ensuring strong and repeated exposure to passing traffic and a defined local catchment.
The boards have historically attracted a broad range of advertisers, demonstrating sustained demand for well-positioned roadside media. The format offers immediate, high-impact visibility, particularly suited to local and regional businesses targeting direct consumer engagement.
In addition to the existing income, the asset presents clear opportunities for enhancement. A purchaser may explore reconfiguration, improved utilisation, or conversion to digital display (subject to the necessary consents), which has the potential to significantly increase income and expand advertising capability.
This is a tangible, freehold investment with established income, minimal operational complexity and identifiable growth angles, providing a compelling opportunity within the outdoor advertising sector.

Flood Risk
Environment Agency open data, checked around the advertised map pin for the listed acreage. Long-term risk counts flood defences; the planning map's flood zones do not. The map pin for this listing marks the postcode area rather than the exact location, so these readings describe the surrounding area. Provided by LandSale, not the listing agent, and not part of the agent's particulars. Risk varies across a holding, so verify before committing.
