The car dealership, which currently operates sites at Northampton, Cardiff and Swindon, has chosen the site close to the A1 and M18 as a base from which to establish its presence in the north of the country whilst locations for further stores are being sought.

Carshop claim to provide a ‘lowest price guarantee’, by partnering with blue-chip companies to sell used-cars held on a sale or return basis, thus minimising costs.

Andrew Gent of Gent Visick commented: “This transaction is a massive boost for the M18 corridor market. Whilst there has been limited stock in the M62 corridor the M18 corridor has seen significant speculative development with a number of existing buildings currently available. The sale of Trax Park is just the impetus needed to kick start further sales or lettings in this market.”
