Property is let to Royal Bank
of Scotland Plc. subject to a 30 year term from 25th
December 2007 at a current rent of £1.055m pa; incorporating
annual indexation on the anniversary of the lease to the
retail price index, subject to a cap of 3%. The property
comprises a purpose built office complex extending to circa
81,708 sqft and is let in its entirety to Royal Bank of
Scotland on a 30 year lease from December 2007 subject to
annually received index linked RPI rent reviews capped at
3.00% per annum.
The current rent passing is £1,055,000 per
annum which reflects a rent of £12.91 per sq ft which
doesn't sound silly. Interestingly there is a mechanism in
the lease which allows the tenant to break the lease
annually after the 5th year but will impose a flexibility
premium upon the tenant which is heavily in favour of the
landlord. For example if the tenant breaks at year 5 they
will have to pay the landlord c£25 million. The vendor is
seeking circa £16,000,000 subject to contract which reflects
a net initial yield of 6.25%. The lease has provision for
breaks between years 5-25 subject to a tenant premium as
follows:
