HINCKLEY – CLARENCE HOUSE, MARKET STREET 2INTRODUCTION The proposition comprises the freehold interest in a prominent town centre block with three well balanced units let to two banks and a café, with a small vacant office suite which might have suitability for a residential conversion. LOCATION The lively shopping area is centred on Castle Street, Market Place and The Borough and supplemented by the Britannia Shopping Centre. The market is very popular and operates on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays. The new Crescent Scheme is now open and trading. It is located within walking distance of the town centre and anchored by a Sainsbury’s Superstore, Cineworld multiplex and Simply Gym. Leisure units have been taken by Costa, Burger King, Prezzo, Loungers and Rossini. Retail accommodation is limited but large units have been taken by TK Maxx and Poundland – both of whom are new to the town. The leisure elements of the scheme have undoubtedly enhanced Hinckley as a destination but the unit retail element is considered too limited to adversely effect the existing and vibrant town centre. The property occupies a very prominent trading location right in the centre of town at the junction of Castle Street, The Borough and Market Place. This location is particularly popular with banks with Barclays, Yorkshire, Halifax, HSBC and NatWest all represented. These, together with the Market and national retailers, ensure the pitch is busy. The location is indicated on the Goad plan extract. EPC EPC ratings are – Yorkshire Bank D, Café Rio D, Barclays C, Office suite B. Certificates and Reports are available on request.

PROPOSAL
For the freehold interest subject to the three incomes and vacant possession of the office suite
we seek a price of £1,160,000 subject to contract to show a net initial yield of 9.0% with costs at
5.9%. This should increase to 9.7% on letting the office suite.
Note – the other half of the Barclays Bank is let on a co-terminus lease with coinciding
break and reviews at a rent of £30,000 per annum. The investment was sold in the
Acuitus auction of 19th May 2016 where it sold for £490,000 to show a net yield of under
6%.
The property is registered for VAT and it is expected a sale will be by way of a TOGC.
The vendor wishes to retain the benefit of any capital allowances.
