The two leases let on nominal ground rents are substantially reversionary and in our opinion have an estimated rental value in the order of some £591,750 per annum. With vacant possession, we consider that the open market rental value equates to £1,600,000 pa. This equates to £14.85 psf and is comparable to the review settlements of similar stores in Cardiff, Leeds, and Liverpool. The estimated rental value based on the current lease structures is in our opinion £1,880,000 pa.
