Keynes LOCATION Maidenhead is a large, affluent town located in the heart of the Thames Valley, between Uxbridge and Reading. It is considered one of the principal office locations in the South East and is located approximately 30 miles west of London and 15 miles north east of Reading. Maidenhead has excellent road communications, being located 2 miles from Junction 8/9 of the M4, which provides direct access to Central London and the M25 and the national motorway network. The M4 also links Maidenhead directly with Heathrow Airport, 17.5 miles to the east. Maidenhead benefits from a frequent rail service to London Paddington, with the fastest journey time being less than 30 minutes. Maidenhead is a highly desirable and affluent residential location, by virtue of its proximity to the River Thames and Central London. As of the 2011 Census, there were 73,400 employees within Maidenhead, of which 33.1% work within the Financial and Business Services sector. SITUATION Bell Tower House is situated on the north side of Bell Street. Bell Street is situated off Kings Street, which leads onto the A308 dual carriageway, providing direct access to both the A4 and the M4 motorway. The railway station is a less than 100m from the property, and the town centre and the High Street are also within close proximity. Bell Street provides a mix of office and residential accommodation, with Maidenhead United Football Club located at the end of the road. Maidenhead town centre provides an extensive array of shops and restaurants, with additional shops and leisure accommodation situated in the Nicholson Shopping Centre and Grenfell Island. 4 Oxford Banbury M40 Reading Newbury Maidenhead CROSSRAIL Aylesbury M3 Bracknell Basingstoke M4 Heathrow Guildford Luton Ste M Lond M25 Londo Cro Gatwick CASTLE HILL A4 BAD GODESB Maidenhead Maidenhead is set to benefit from the opening of Crossrail in 2018, as it will be the western terminus of the line from which there will be 4 high speed trains per hour to Central London, and a journey time of 46 minutes to London Liverpool Street. Crossrail will be a 73 mile railway line serving London and its environs, running from west to east under 26 miles of tunnels through Central London. Services will begin in May 2015 between Liverpool Street and Shenfield, and will be extended to other parts of the routes, including Maidenhead, during 2018 and 2019. On 5th February 2014, Network Rail announced plans for Western Rail Access to Heathrow rail (WRATH), which will connect the Great Western Mainline east of Langley with Terminal 5 and will reduce journey times from Thames Valley stations (including Maidenhead) to Heathrow. It is indicated that WRATH will run from Reading and will provide 2 trains per hour from Maidenhead via Slough direct to Terminal 5, taking just 14 minutes.

DESCRIPTION The property comprises a well specified office building constructed in 1988. It is of brick construction with metal double glazed windows. Internally, the property comprises plastered and painted walls with a good floor to ceiling height of 2.7m. The accommodation provides a raised floor and suspended ceiling with Cat II lighting and integral air conditioning units. There are large common parts to the property including a generous reception area and Male and Female WCs on both floors. There is also an 8 person (630 kg) passenger lift. The property benefits from a large car park to both the front and rear, providing 51 spaces including one disabled space, and allowing for an excellent town centre car parking ratio of 1:291 sq ft (1:27.04 sq m). SITE AREA The site is predominantly rectangular in shape and extends to approximately 0.20 hectares (0.51 acres). The footprint of the building covers only 39% of the site area, providing a very low town centre site density. ACCOMMODATION The property has been measured in accordance with the Code of Measuring Practice (Sixth edition) and comprises the following net internal areas: Floor Sq M Sq Ft First 691.95 7,439 9 85 9 to 94 PH QUEEN STREET 97 95 91 93 83 2 El Sub Sta York Cottages 1 3 El Sub Sta 34 L Twr Terraces L Twr Ground 648.95 6,985 87 99 Terraces Reception 39.00 420 Total 1,379.10 14,845 KING STREET 27.7m 109 103 Bell Tower House 7 15 25 PH El Sub Sta 58 Terraces 95 TENURE 97 El Sub Sta 6 Freehold.

RENTAL MARKET COMMENTARY Maidenhead is an established office market within the Thames Valley that has consistently attracted high profile office occupiers, due to its excellent transport links and proximity to London. Current Thames Valley office stock stands at just over 64m sq ft, with the Maidenhead market making up approximately 4.5 million sq ft of this. Take up in 2013 in Maidenhead stood at 235,000 sq ft, exceeding the town s long term average of 200,000 sq ft. Total Grade A availability in Maidenhead town centre currently stands at 200,000 sq ft. Recent evidence suggests companies aspire to locate in town centre, in order to take advantage of good public transport links and access to local amenities. In addition, in light of current planning legislation, specifically Permitted Development Rights, given the high residential values in Maidenhead, a proportion of qualifying office stock is being converted to residential in the short term, diminishing available office space. This, as well as a lack of good quality office stock, has meant that office rents in Maidenhead have been resilient during the downturn in the market, and are close to their peak at 29.50 per sq ft. We forecast rents exceeding 30 per sq ft in 2014, with grade A schemes such as the Tor, a 67,000 sq ft office in the town centre, currently available at a quoting rent of 34 per sq ft. Recent town centre transactions include: Date Address Tenant Area (Sq ft) Rent ( per sq ft) Feb 14 80 Moorbridge Road Anaplan Ltd 4,330 24.50 Aug 13 Braywick Gate Rovi Europe Ltd 2,872 28.00 June 13 Thames House Inventiv Research 33,688 27.00 April 13 Kings Chase Capita IT 5,715 27.50

INVESTMENT MARKET COMMENTARY In terms of the investment market, sustained demand has been seen for high quality South East offices, particularly for well located, town centre stock. The value of office investments sold in the Thames Valley during 2013 exceeded 1.16bn, significantly ahead of 2012 ( 680m), and the increase in volumes has been mirrored by an increase in the number of deals, of which there were 72 in 2013. This trend is set to continue for the rest of 2014, whilst good quality office stock remains in short supply and a weight of money continues to flow into the UK property market.
