DESCRIPTION
Broughton House comprises a substantial mixed-use building arranged to provide a ground floor commercial unit with 48 self-contained residential apartments above. The residential accommodation has been sold on long leasehold interests, providing the freeholder with a secure ground rent income while minimising day-to-day management responsibilities. The commercial unit is separately let on Full Repairing and Insuring lease terms.

The residential element comprises 48 apartments, each let on 150-year leases from April 2006. The leases produce a current aggregate ground rent of £7,200 per annum (£150 per apartment), with rent doubling every 25 years throughout the lease term.

The ground floor commercial premises are let to BEST Solicitors Limited on a 5-year Full Repairing and Insuring lease commencing 28 June 2025 at an initial passing rent of £46,002 per annum exclusive. There is a fixed increase to £50,000 per annum exclusive in June 2028. The tenant has a break option at the third anniversary of the lease, exercisable upon six months’ prior written notice.
