Investors still keen on Black Country commercial property opportunities

Black Country commercial property agent Bond Wolfe has sold a multi-let office and warehouse scheme in Walsall to a local property investor.

Bank House in Bott Lane, Walsall, has been sold by Belwell Property Investments Ltd to a private investor off an asking price of £325,000.

The four unit mixed-use premises are in an established commercial area less than a mile east of Walsall town centre.

The total of office, warehouse and workshop space is 6,155 sq ft with frontage on to both Bott Lane and Bank Street. The property is currently producing annual rental of £27,000, providing a net yield of 8.15%.

The deal was transacted remotely during lockdown.

James Mattin, chief executive of Bond Wolfe, said: “We are delighted to have concluded this deal in the current climate.

“Since the beginning of lockdown, we have continued to service calls from cash purchasers looking to invest in income producing assets as well as conversion opportunities. There is certainly still strong demand from buyers looking for secondary located opportunities and Bank House proved popular with a number of investors.”

Marcus Hayes, director of Belwell Property Investments Ltd, said: “It was a pleasure working with James Mattin and the Bond Wolfe team who worked diligently in challenging circumstances to conclude a good, fair deal for all parties.”

Legal advisers to Belwell Property Investments Ltd were Higgs & Sons, while the purchaser was advised by Ashley James Solicitors.
