As the demand for essential services, logistics infrastructure, and roadside convenience continues to rise, petrol stations remain a valuable asset class for investors. Whether you’re acquiring a freehold petrol station with forecourt operations or considering redevelopment potential, these properties offer strong returns, strategic locations, and long-term relevance—even as the transition to electric vehicles progresses.

At Fraser Bond, we support commercial investors, developers, and business operators in identifying, acquiring, and maximising value from petrol stations for sale across the UK.


Why Invest in Petrol Stations?

1. Stable, Income-Generating Assets

Petrol stations are often underpinned by long-term lease agreements with fuel operators or convenience brands, providing consistent rental income with upward-only rent reviews.

2. Strategic Locations

Typically located on high-traffic routes, near motorways, or in commuter-heavy areas, petrol stations command valuable roadside real estate with future redevelopment options.

3. Multiple Revenue Streams

Modern petrol stations often include:

  • Fuel retail

  • Car washes or valet services

  • Convenience stores

  • Quick-service restaurants or cafés

  • ATM and parcel collection points

This diversification enhances income resilience, particularly in fluctuating fuel markets.

4. Development and EV Charging Potential

With the UK's transition toward electric vehicles, forward-looking investors are acquiring petrol stations to reposition assets with EV charging hubs, fast food outlets, or mixed-use roadside developments.
