Location
Pimlico is a highly affluent, Central London commercial and residential area, conveniently located in between Mayfair, Chelsea, Battersea, Belgravia, Victoria and Westminster and sits to the north of the River Thames. The area is located approximately 1.5 miles (2.4 km) from the West End of London, 3 miles (4.8 km) from the City of London and 10 miles (16 km) from London City Airport.
London Victoria Station is located 0.4 miles (0.64 km) from Pimlico and is the second busiest London terminus with over 74 million passengers using the station each year. The station connects to Gatwick Airport and interlinks with other transport links such as the London Underground and Victoria Coach Station.
Pimlico Tube station conveniently runs on the Victoria Line just one stop from Victoria Station.
Pimlico sits along Vauxhall Bridge Road, a popular road connecting the north and south of London.
Whilst being in a bustling Central London location, Pimlico has a village like community and appeals to various demographics including families, professionals, students and tourists.
There is a high demand for residential property in this densely populated area and a lack of supply. This makes the area perfect for a buy to let investment and a Domino’s takeaway.
Nearby attractions include Buckingham Palace, Tate Britain, Big Ben, The London Eye, and Westminster Abbey to name a few. There are plenty of green spaces nearby including, St George’s Square, Warwick Square, St James’s Park, Hyde Park and Battersea Park.
Pimlico is considered one of the most sought-after locations and benefits from low vacancy rates.
Situation
The property occupies a 100% prime position on Warwick Way which is the most sought-after retail and leisure destination in Pimlico with an eclectic mix of local and national operators.
The property is next door to Little Waitrose and opposite a Tesco Express. Other businesses on Warwick Way include Holland & Barrett, Snappy Snaps, Caffe Nero, and various estate agencies.
Tachbrook Street Market is located moments away from the property and is open Monday to Saturday offering a mixture of luxury foods, household goods and clothing.
The immediate vicinity benefits from a highly dense residential and commercial population making it a perfect site for a Dominos Pizza. Furthermore, the vicinity is an ideal place to live and benefits from an exceptionally strong residential rental market.
Description
The property comprises a commercial and residential building arranged over basement, ground, first, and second floors.
The commercial element of the property benefits from a rare Sui generis use allowing for hot food takeaway. This use class allows the property to be used for any other use falling under Class E including retail, restaurant, office and so on.
The commercial element is arranged over ground and basement and has been fitted out by the tenant to their usual corporate style as a fully functioning hot food takeaway and delivery premises.
There is a customer collection area, a kitchen and preparation area on the ground floor and an office and storage accommodation in the basement.
The residential element benefits from self-contained access from the front of the property and is arranged over ground, first and second floors. There are three double bedrooms, a large open plan living room, a fully fitted kitchen and a utility room. There is a generous landing space fit in between the first and second floors fit for a small office, WC or storage.
The furniture shown in the pictures can be included as part of the sale, further information upon request.
The property was refurbished in 2018.
Asset Management
Historically, the residential element consisted of two flats and we suggest that subject to planning permission, a purchaser could separate the residential element back into two flats.
We would also suggest that subject to planning permission, there is the potential of adding an additional storey to the property in line with the property directly opposite and to extend the property at the rear.
The next upwards only rent review on the commercial element is effective in March 2023 and we would suggest that the passing rent is below market level so there is an opportunity for a purchaser to achieve a rental uplift at the rent review. As the property has Sui generis use (previously A5), allowing for hot food takeaway, the rental value is deemed higher than class E use.
