“The premises are currently occupied by employment support and training specialists Eos Works Ltd, providing a passing rent of £128,000 per annum. The lease will expire in March 2021, whereupon, if the tenant does not renew their lease,  the new owners will have the option of sub-dividing the units to create a multi-let estate, should they wish,” he said.

The asking price of £1.5m represented an eight per cent net initial yield.

The site occupies a strategic location around three miles from both the M42 and the M6 motorways, and comprises of three modern, detached industrial warehouse buildings.

The yield represented for the purchase price, and the possibilities for further development and revenue made it a particularly attractive opportunity.”
