ASSET MANAGEMENT With the last rent review having taken place in 2002, we believe the property to be significantly under-rented in today's market and there is likely to be a substantial uplift in rental value at the rent review due in 2023. We are of the opinion that under the existing lease terms, the property currently commands a rental value of £67,500 p.a. excl., but otherwise would command a rental value of at least £77,000 p.a. excl. We believe there to be various strategies available to a purchaser that have the potential to significantly add value: • Drive the rental income beyond £67,500 p.a. at review in 2023 • Opportunity to re-gear the existing lease with Nationwide • Potential for residential conversion of the upper floors. 77 ST JOHN'S ROAD, CLAPHAM JUNCTION, LONDON SW11 1QZ 5 EPC An EPC can be provided on request.
