PARK AVENUE MEWS - TOOTING, LONDON
Our secondary exit, if the permitted development was refused, would have been to re-gear the commercial leases, aiming to secure FRI Leases for each of the units for 5-7 year terms, at a market rent producing approx. £25,000 per annum. Based on this projected figure the workshops should sell in excess of £300,000 in a more suitable auction (with only paperwork value added), whilst generating a healthy 7% yield in the meantime.
We considered this the worst-case scenario for the project.

PARK AVENUE MEWS - TOOTING, LONDON
Freehold row of 4 commercial workshops in a predominantly residential area, purchased at auction with a view to adding significant value.
We purchased the Tooting deal at the September 2019 Harman Healy auction for £212,000 and after some expected competitive bidding, secured the asset with an income of £14,700, which represents a healthy London 6.93% yield.
Our primary exit strategy was to obtain permitted development for change of use from workshop to residential conversion to provide 3-4 houses. If successful we would either sell with the permitted development back into auction or apply for stage 2 planning and again, either sell at this stage or proceed with the development.
We received notification of our grant for prior approval on the 9-1-2020 for creating 4 x mews houses.
Based on local sales and £ per square feet, we have projected a GDV of £1.175M in the current configuration.
