Office investment sold after competitive bidding

Chandos House, Heron Gate, Taunton

Humberts have recently sold Chandos House and Midas House, Heron Gate, Hankridge Way, Taunton after competitive bidding. The property provided two self-contained semi-detached office buildings which were fully let on this popular office park which is only 1⁄4 mile from junction 25 of the M5 motorway at Taunton. Each of the office blocks were available at a guide price of £315,000 for the freehold interest. Chandos House was let at a rental of £22,000 per annum, expiring on 27 April 2020 and Midas House was let on a lease at a rental of £31,500 per annum expiring on 30 July 2015 with two sub-tenants.

Stephen Richards who heads up the Commercial Department for Humberts comments “we have seen the investment market come back with a vengeance since the beginning of the year which has led to competitive bidding on this office investment. There seems to be a lack of prime investments around at this time and we received 12 bids for the property and went to an informal tender on the client’s instructions”.
