The total rent including these guarantees is just over £900,000 per annum and the purchase price reflects a net initial yield of 5.7%, 6.1% equivalent yield and 6.7% reversionary yield.

The largest occupiers include T&K; Gallagher, Loomis Cash Management, Doco International and Wolseley UK with Unipart, Komfort Workspace, Central Tyre and Interlink Express also being represented.

Brixton was advised by CB Richard Ellis with King Sturge acting for Morley.
