  • (1888PressRelease) May 28, 2011 - Leading London commercial property agency MERJS has been instructed to sell the freehold of the purpose-built London Road Retail Park in Southend on Sea. The property comprises 6,963.40 sq m (74,954 sq ft) of open A1 non food retail floor space, with the site extending to approximately 5.25 acres (2.12 ha) giving a site cover of 31%. There are 222 car parking spaces, providing a ratio to gross internal area of 1:337 ft² (1:31.37 m²). For further information visit www.merjs-agency.co.uk or call +44 20 7079 3976.

    "The freehold sale of this retail park offers an excellent investment opportunity," said Colin Becker, Equity Director for MERJS. "The London Road Retail Park is a prominent and accessible edge of town centre retail park on the A13 London Road opposite a Sainsbury's food store. It's currently let to Homebase Ltd, Pets at Home and DSG Retail Ltd trading as Currys with an average unexpired term of 10.9 years. These tenancies produce a current rental income stream of £1,177,322 per annum, and with offers sought in the region of £16,500,000 subject to contract, it would provide a net initial yield of 6.74%."

    "The retail park was built in two phases," Colin continued. "Unit 1 was built in the early 1980's and was comprehensively refurbished and reconfigured in 2002, whilst Units 2 and 3 were constructed in the second phase in the year 2000. With the open A1 non-food planning permission, this is a very attractive commercial property investment opportunity," Colin concluded.
