Businesses are excited after a string of flats in Byard Lane in the city centre were taken over by new owners. The small yet busy city centre street is home to independent businesses such as the Everyday People restaurant, Coco Tang and Cubed hairdressers. It also features the high street brand Reiss.
There is just one remaining flat for sale above the row of businesses in Byard Lane, this is on sale for £225,000. The other three have already been sold, local businesses have said.
The newly converted apartments are over 950 square feet and have been recently converted by award-winning builders O' Keefe. Locals businesses said the sale of the flats could lead to a boost in footfall as tenants move in.
