With strong visibility, steady footfall, and multi-revenue potential, petrol stations for rent remain a high-demand asset in the UK commercial property market. Whether you're an independent operator, national brand, or retailer looking to enter the forecourt market, securing the right site is essential for long-term success.
At Fraser Bond, we offer access to petrol station leasing opportunities across the UK — from operational forecourts with convenience stores to new-build sites suitable for EV integration and branded rollouts.
A well-positioned petrol station provides diverse revenue sources:
Fuel sales (petrol, diesel, increasingly EV charging)
On-site retail (convenience stores, car washes, food-to-go)
Franchise or branded fuel partnerships (Shell, BP, Esso)
Ancillary services (MOT bays, repair garages, ATMs)
Leasing allows operators to benefit from these income streams without the upfront cost of land acquisition.
Most petrol stations occupy prime roadside locations — offering:
High daily traffic counts
Built-in signage and advertising visibility
Easy access from main roads, motorways, and commuter routes
These benefits make forecourt property ideal for fast-moving consumer businesses, retail partnerships, and emerging EV infrastructure.
Leasing a petrol station enables operators and businesses to:
Enter or expand the forecourt sector with less initial investment
Test new markets before committing to ownership
Allocate capital to branding, stock, staffing, and operations
Flexible lease terms can be negotiated depending on operational capacity, location, and landlord requirements.
Proximity to:
Major roads or motorway junctions
Residential zones or retail parks
Competing forecourts or convenience offerings
This affects customer volume, pricing power, and retail viability.
Evaluate the site’s amenities, such as:
Number of fuel pumps and underground tanks
EV charging station potential
Retail space size and fit-out
Planning permissions for upgrades or changes of use
Fraser Bond assists in assessing operational feasibility and long-term site potential.
