About
The Equity Trade Centre and IO Centre provides a two-phase development, comprising both trade counter and industrial provisions, constructed in the early 2000’s.
Equity Trade Centre comprises a terrace of 7 high quality trade counter units (T9-T15) totalling 24,519 sq ft, constructed in 2004 of steel portal frame with steel profile cladding. The units occupy a prominent position facing Hobley Drive. An additional 14 units to the rear, have been sold off on 999 year leases, at peppercorn rents.
IO Centre comprises a two-phase development developed in 2000 comprising 8 high specification trade counter units (T1-T8) of steel portal frame construction, arranged in two terraces totalling 27,184 sq ft facing Hobley Drive and 10 modern industrial units (1-10) arranged over 2 terraces totalling 72,050 sq ft.
The property is fully let to 22 tenants on 25 separate leases, providing a WAULT of 4.2 years to expiry and 2.1 years to break. The passing rent totals £1,094,686 per annum, equating to a low average passing rent of £6.86 per sq ft and £11.60 per sq ft respectively, for the industrial and trade counter uses.
We are of the opinion that ERV of the standard units in the IO Centre are now £8.50 per square foot, and ERV of the Trade Park is £13-£14 per square foot, the higher rent applying to the units fronting Hobley Drive.
