RATEABLE VALUE

TERMS

The property is available by way of a new internal repairing and insuring lease for a minimum term of 3 years.  A longer term may be granted, by agreement.  The rent is £5,500 per annum, exclusive.

The tenant may be required to provide a rent deposit equivalent to at least three months rent, plus a full quarters rent payable upon completion of the lease.

It should be noted that there is provision for an emergency escape route from the rear of the right hand sales/office area, from an inner hall which serves the flats on the upper floors.  This emergency escape route would provide for a means of escape only from that rear hallway and through the front door of the property.

It should also be noted that there are electricity meters installed in the right hand sales/office area, to which access will be required from time to time to take meter readings for the flats.

Water is connected to the left hand Sales/Office Area to a washbasin, and additionally to the rear Store.  There will be no charges levied for such consumption, unless the anticipated use of water is to be greater than might normally be expected.  If this is the case then the Landlord will install a water meter, and charge the cost of water consumption in accordance with that.

COSTS

The Tenant will be required to meet a contribution of a maximum of £1,000 plus VAT towards the Landlord’s proper legal costs in connection with the preparation and completion of a lease.

PLANNING

The property was previously used as a sandwich shop and latterly as an office.  The property now falls within Use Class E of the Use Classes Order so may be used for any retail purpose including sandwich shop, hairdressers, financial services, office and similar.

VALUE ADDED TAX

The property is not elected for VAT and this will not therefore be payable on the rent.

VIEWING

Strictly by appointment with the sole letting agents.
