Proposal

Guide price £400,000 (Four Hundred Thousand Pounds), subject to contract, representing a net initial yield of 6.4% (purchase costs at 4.18%).

Allocating an investment yield of 9% to the retail accommodation equates to a value of approximately £200,000 in relation to the upper parts which we suggest from our enquiries represents the vacant possession value for the residential accommodation.

Please note that a purchaser will be re-charged the costs of surveys and searches which are provided in the data room.

Please note a purchaser will be charged a transaction fee of £2,000 + VAT.

Investment Considerations

  1. An opportunity to acquire a freehold investment and residential investment opportunity in London.

  2. Attractive net initial yield (on completion of the proposed letting);

  3. Attractive lot size to an investor;

  4. A purchase at the asking price reflects a capital value on the upper areas underpinned by vacant possession values.
