Proposal
We are instructed to seek a figure of £3,600,000 (Three Million, Six Hundred Thousand Pounds) subject to contract, reflecting a net initial yield of 9.22% and a reversionary yield of 11.05%.

Analysis
We have assessed the Farmhouse at a value of £500,000. This reflects a gross income based upon the AST letting of 5.4%, a capital value of only £100 per sq ft and a site value at £434,000 per acre which is a discount to residential land values.
The asking price, therefore, reflects a value of £3,100,000 for the commercial accommodation (including the first floor flat), showing a net initial yield of 9.89% based upon the income from the investment, less the farmhouse income, of £326,543 per annum. With our estimated rental income for the estate, excluding the farmhouse, at £396,666, the reversionary yield is 12.02%.
The apportioned price of £3,100,000 for the commercial element reflects a low capital value of £35 per sq ft.
Overall, a purchase at the asking price reflects a land value of £467,500 per acre.
Investment Considerations
An opportunity to acquire a multi-let investment opportunity;
Mixed-use comprising industrial, office and residential accommodation offering significant opportunities to enhance value;
Diverse income stream;
Large area of undeveloped land at the rear offering further development potential;
Self-contained residential farmhouse offered at a discount to open market value, based upon apportioned value;
Commercial element offering a net initial yield of 9.89% rising to 12.02%;
Attractive net initial yield overall of 9.22%, with a reversionary yield of 11.05%.
