Case Studies

2022 - We purchased a vacant 2 storey commercial property in a town centre in the North Eastern part of England.  Purchased at auction for £68,000.  A major defect/issue was identified and remedied, and circa £6,000 of improvement works carried out.

Tenant found and agreed a 10 year FRI lease at £10,000pa.  Tenant carried out massive fit-out to the property at their expense.

Property sold 5 months after purchase for £110,000 to a cash buyer.

~£36,000 profit on £74,000 invested in 5 months

2021 - Ground Floor leasehold commercial unit purchased at auction for total of £135,000.  The properties were then rented as 3 separate units on IR leases for 5+ years, which tenants fit out as salon, cafe, and retail unit.  Total rent of £22,880pa.  

2 years later, 2 units are sold off for total sold price of £200,000, giving our client a profit of £65,000 plus a retained leasehold unit paying £7,200pa

Over the last ~5 years, we have purchased 50+ large freehold pubs across the UK and have successfully rented each property (FRI long leases) for an average of 11%+ annual yield on gross purchase price.  Many of our tenants invest in their businesses and subsequently the properties creating major uplifts for our clients.  With an average LTV of 60-65% our clients are seeing circa 20% cash on cash returns before even considering the capital uplifts/appreciation these large freehold properties are bringing.
