Opportunities to enhance value The interest for sale provides an interesting opportunity to acquire a substantial unbroken, detached, mixed-use property in the centre of an affluent Hampshire / Surrey location. From our research we are advised that 2014 has been a record year for the residential market with continuing high demand from tenants, owner occupiers and buy-to-let investors alike. The chance to acquire an entirely unbroken property in this locale will provide an investor with a number of opportunities to enhance the value of the property including; Sell flats on an individual basis to owner-occupiers or investors; Increase the rental income by securing a tenant(s) for the vacant retail unit; Obtain a higher rent pro-rata for the front section of the existing retail unit by reducing its depth. This could provide an opportunity to add value to the rear section by providing on-site storage for the residential accommodation, self-contained office accommodation, or perhaps parking; Seek to create extra residential onsite, subject to consent. Value Added Tax The property has been elected for VAT. Therefore, VAT will be payable on the purchase price. It is envisaged the sale will be treated as a Transfer of a Going Concern (TOGC).

Proposal We are instructed by our client to invite offers in the region of 3,500,000, (Three Million, Five Hundred Thousand Pounds), subject to contract. We suggest that one could assess the asking price as follows; Residential (1) 1,900,000 5.00% NIY 263 per sq ft Sainsbury s (2) 1,150,000 7.00% NIY 255 per sq ft Haart 120,000 9.00% NIY 132 per sq ft Vacant Unit (3) 330,000 61 per sq ft Total 3,500,000 1. We suggest that the total value of the residential flats if sold individually would be in excess of 2.2m, based upon sale figures of 160,000 for 1-bedroom flats and 250,000 for 2-bedroom flats. 2. Therefore, the total of the individual values represents a 15% margin compared to the suggested apportioned value for the residential accommodation. 3. The suggested apportioned value represents a generous 5% income return compared with buy-to-let investment sales often at 3.50%. Investment Considerations 1. An opportunity to acquire a substantial, detached, town centre,retail & residential investment in an affluent South East location; 2. Modern accommodation at the centre of Grayshott s amenities; 3. 11 flats all individually let on Assured Shorthold Tenancies in a high value residential location, available as a whole at a discount to full value. 4. Retail accommodation majority let to Sainsbury s for a further 12.5 years; 5. Various opportunities for an investor to enhance value; 6. Attractive lot size to an investor; 7. A purchase at the asking price represents an attractive yield profile; Contact Singer Vielle 94-96 Wigmore Street dale@singervielle.co.uk London W1U 3RF Tel: 020 7935 7200 richard@singervielle.co.uk Fax: 020 7486 8511 www.singerviellesales.com neil@singervielle.co.uk 4. 7.00% is a comparatively conservative yield for a South East convenience store investment. Singer Vielle has recently sold similar investments at yields of 6% which can be seen on our Previous Sales section. Vendors Solicitor Faye@singervielle.co.uk Jackie@singervielle.co.uk 5. A significantly lower capital value compared to the values on the let retail units, thereby validating the suggested opportunity to enhance value.
