Property specialist Bruton Knowles has announced that it is close to completing a four-year programme to dispose of 21 surplus police stations, on behalf of Surrey Police.
Fraser Castle, from the firm’s Guildford office, was in charge of the disposals. He said: “We have essentially finished this programme of sales for Surrey Police, having just received planning permission for Camberley Police Station.
“We expect a positive planning decision for Haslemere Police Station on Wednesday and are about to commence the marketing exercise for the final property – Epsom Police Station.
“Overall, this has been a very positive exercise for Surrey Police with some significant wins most notably at Walton-on-Thames and Leatherhead where we were able to add significant value through land assembly and negotiation with the local authority.
“We sold the properties for a range of uses including supermarket, residential, retirement living, office and a range of community uses including dance hall, children’s nursery and a free school.”
Surrey Police Authority instructed Bruton Knowles to start this multi-phase disposal of police stations, which includes Esher, Walton-on-Thames, East Molesey, Epsom, Dorking, Haslemere, Cranleigh, Banstead, Camberley, Egham, Farnham, Leatherhead, Woking, Cobham, Sunbury, Lingfield, Lightwater, Frimley, Byfleet, Ripley and Ash.
