Prime rents in Swindon are currently in the region of £100 Zone A. This tone has become increasingly driven by size of unit / tenant trading rather than exact pitch. The latest rental transactions include:

Unit 3, 40 The Parade OML August 2017 on 10 year lease (5 year break) at £108 ZA headline / £92 ZA net.

We consider the current ERV of the property to be £597,000 per annum based on a range of £50-90 Zone A.

Swindon is the home to WH Smith and we understand they are keen to retain a High Street presence in the town not least because their shop houses the town’s Post Office. Initial re-gear discussions have taken place.

We understand from conversations on site that H Samuel trade well from this store. 09 HMV have recently renewed their lease.

EPCs VAT

EPCs are available on The property is elected for VAT, but we would envisage request. the transaction to be concluded by way of a TOGC.

DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL

The property comprises a 1.2 acre town centre site, which we believe longer term could be more intensively developed. The rarity of a bespoke car park in the middle of the town centre would make the unit suitable for a food discounter such as Aldi, Lidl or B&M. WH Smith could be downsized into a smaller unit and H Samuel could be relocated to the corner unit / 19A Regent Street, which would be a much more prominent trading location for a jeweller. There is also an opportunity to develop residential accommodation above the retail or on the car park.

TO BE POUNDSTRETCHER We set our below a basic plan of how the site could be redeveloped and a development appraisal is available on request.

We understand 18-19 & 19A Regent Street have been purchased by Poundstretcher for their occupation.
