The purchase price of £5,000,000 reflects a net initial yield of 5.90%, assuming purchaser’s costs of 6.31% and commenting on the deal, Andrew Franck-Steier said “based on our quoting price of £4,540,000 we were delighted to achieve such a price given the general apathy towards out of town offices and this price far exceeded even our most optimistic views”
