    Description

    A new Legal pack has been created with subfolders making it easier to follow. Please click on the legal pack link below and create an account to access the new legal pack.

    Legal pack

    The property comprises of office, retail and leisure units laid out over approx. 42 acres on two separate sites that are split by the Dudley Canal. Three bridges connect the two parcels of land, which have their own separate road access.

    The majority of the upper floors and a number of buildings are sold off on long leases at peppercorn rents, with the majority of this dedicated to office space offering ground investment and future revisionary value.

    An element of the site has been sold off on freehold basis and this is illustrated in the photos via a red outline.

    The majority of retail units are under direct management of the estate (not sold off on long leases) and are let to a variety of F&B and service led retailers.

    There is also a number of office units that are not sold off on long leases and let to a number of different office occupiers.

    The centre has been maintained to a good standard and a number of incentives to promote the site have been introduced such as street food stalls and festivals.

    The canal also has a number of moorings for canal boats; which have generated income in the past.

    Historically the vendor has been required to pay an annual sum to Canal & River Trust but the vendor and Canal & River Trust have agreed to vary so this would not apply to any future owner (please refer to the legal pack for more details)


    VAT may be applicable on the sale, however the sale may be able to be treated as a TOGC (Please refer to the legal pack).


    The total rising rent has been based on the rent free periods expiring and stepped rent increases being implemented at the respective due dates and the existing leases remaining in situ or being renewed on the same terms as existing.
