Our client, Care Concern Limited, are now open to considering offers to assign the current lease over to an interested party thus presenting buyers an excellent opportunity to acquire an excellent setting in an ideal commuter-based location with ongoing new build residential developments and an increasing local population.

Our client has a 25-year lease with the landlord on a fully repairing and insuring lease that commenced on the 26th of October 2021 and runs up to the 25th of October 2046. Rent reviews are due every 5 years with an annual rent as of the start of the lease of £80,000 exclusive of VAT.

Regulatory

Peek-a-boo Nursery School previously had a registered capacity to provide an early learning and childcare service to 84 children from six weeks to five years of whom a maximum of 20 may be under two years old.

The nursery closed its doors in October 2024 and has been vacant since so a new Care Inspectorate registration will be required.
