Commenting on the deal, Andrew Franck-Steier of Atlas Real Estate said “This deals represents an excellent price in the current market, where investors are generally steering away from short income deals. The tenant is not in occupation and taking into account limited prospects for rental growth and incentives being granted on new leases, it was considered to be an opportune time to dispose of the asset”.
The price achieved of £12,000,000 represents a net initial yield of 9.06% assuming usual costs of purchase of 5.7625%.
CBRE (Birmingham) represented the purchaser.
