Tenure
The property is held on a long leasehold for 150 years from 22nd July 2022 at a peppercorn rental. The Freeholder is ‘Trustees For Methodist Church Purposes’.
Tenancy
The property is let to Poundland Limited on a new full repairing and insuring lease (excluding the roof), subject to a Schedule of Condition, for a term of 5 years from 24th October 2022, expiring 23rd October 2027. There are no break clauses.
The lease allows for a half rent of £55,000 per annum for the first two years, rising to £110,000 per annum from 24th October 2024. The vendor will top up the rent by way of an adjustment to the completion sum so that a purchaser will effectively receive £110,000 per annum from completion.
Historically, Poundland traded from 87-89 Mostyn Street for many years. Following its success, they have now shut that store and over doubled their size by reopened a brand-new store at this property.
The rent of £110,000 per annum equates to an overall rate of just £5.56 per square foot / £59.84 per square metre.
The vendor undertook works to the property prior to Poundland taking occupation. See ‘Description’ section.
