AN OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE, EITHER
INDIVIDUALLY OR AS A PORTFOLIO, THREE PRIME
OPEN A1 RETAIL WAREHOUSE UNITS PURPOSE-BUILT FOR
HALFORDS’ OCCUPATION.
INVESTMENT SUMMARY
An opportunity to acquire, either individually or as a portfolio, three modern retail warehouse units which were purpose-built for Halfords’ occupation.
The properties are located in the South London Boroughs of Croydon and Sutton and as such have exceptional catchment populations, both in terms of size and future growth.
The properties are all located in prominent positions and are surrounded by a mix of retail and residential uses.
The properties each have Open A1 (non food) planning consent.
The properties are held freehold.
Each property is let on an FRI basis to Halfords Limited for in excess of 4.5 years in accordance with the schedule below;
Halfords Limited is a 5A1 covenant with a turnover as at 1 April 2016 of £866,100,000.
We understand that Halfords trade well from all three properties and that they are considered core stores.
The Greater London locations and Open A1 (non food) consents mean that tenant demand is strong, as is likely future rental growth.
The two Croydon properties offer a redevelopment opportunity for a mix of retail and residential uses.
We are instructed to seek offers for the three properties in excess of a combined price of £12,216,000 (TWELVE MILLION TWO HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN THOUSAND POUNDS), subject to contract and exclusive of VAT. A purchase at this level would reflect an initial yield of 5.59% net of purchase costs of 6.80%.
Offers are sought for individual assets or the whole portfolio.
