The property comprises a five-storey corner office building totalling 10,006 sq ft (NIA) arranged over ground and four upper floors, with an average suite size of 2,001 sq ft. The building was fully repositioned to a high standard in 2015, including full electrification of the core M&E and back-to-frame suite refurbishment, with the uppermost floors providing dedicated roof terraces and external balconies. Basement parking, bicycle storage and shower facilities are provided.

The property is let to four Creditsafe 'Very Low Risk' rated tenants with a WAULT of 2.88 years to expiry (1.49 years to break). A 12 month vendor rent, rates and service charge guarantee is provided over the single vacant suite. The passing rent of GBP 273,420 per annum reflects a low average of GBP 27.33 per sq ft against a proven city headline of GBP 46 per sq ft, offering strong reversionary potential.

Tenure: Freehold (title number WYK170846).

A purchase at this level reflects a net initial yield of 9.00% and a low capital value of GBP 285 per sq ft, after standard purchaser's costs of 6.43%, and reversion to 10.00%+ adopting our projected ERV.
