GROUND FLOOR TENANCY The ground floor retail unit is let to Barrecore Ltd on 10 year lease from May 2017 at a rent of 45,000 per annum exclusive. There is a tenant only break clause at the expiry of the 5 th year of the term, subject to 6 months prior written notice.

COMMENT ON RENT We calculate that the rent on this unit devalues to circa 106 psf Zone A when allowing for a 7.5% adjustment for the configuration. On an overall basis, this equates to broadly 27.50 psf GIA which compares favourably with other commercial rents in the area.
