15,636 SQ FT (1,452.6 SQ M) 13 ONSITE PARKING SPACES
INVESTMENT SUMMARY: Situated on the north side of Pentonville Road, equidistant between Angel and King s Cross St. Pancras underground and mainline stations. A highly prominent and characterful self-contained office building constructed from new in 1991 and comprehensively refurbished in 2012 to an excellent standard. The property extends to a net internal area of 15,636 sq. ft and has the benefit of 13 onsite car parking spaces. Single let to Eviivo Limited on an FR&I lease for a term of 10 years from 30th March 2012. Held long leasehold for a term of 150 years from 6th March 2013. The current head rent payable is 89,375 per annum, being 12.50% of either rents received or open market rental value. Current net passing rent of 625,625 per annum. We are instructed to seek offers in excess of 11,725,000 subject to contract and exclusive of VAT for the benefit of our client s long leasehold interest. A purchase at this level would reflect a capital value of 750 per sq. ft and a NIY of 5% after the deduction of the ground rent and standard purchaser s costs. Current passing rent of 715,000 per annum reflecting only 45.73 per sq. ft overall. Prime rents in King s Cross and Angel have exceeded 65 per sq. ft and as such we believe that the property has strong reversionary potential.
