CLARENCE HOUSE, MARKET STREET, HINCKLEY - FREEHOLD TOWN CENTRE BLOCK INVESTMENT
INTRODUCTION
The proposition comprises the freehold interest in a prominent town centre block
with three well balanced units let to two banks and a café, with a small vacant
office suite which might have suitability for a residential conversion.

LOCATION
The lively shopping area is centred on Castle Street, Market Place and The
Borough and supplemented by the Britannia Shopping Centre. The market is
very popular and operates on Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays.

The new Crescent Scheme is now open and trading. It is located within walking
distance of the town centre and anchored by a Sainsbury’s Superstore,
Cineworld multiplex and Simply Gym. Leisure units have been taken by Costa,
Burger King, Prezzo, Loungers and Rossini. Retail accommodation is limited but
large units have been taken by TK Maxx and Poundland – both of whom are new
to the town. The leisure elements of the scheme have undoubtedly enhanced
Hinckley as a destination but the unit retail element is considered too limited to
adversely effect the existing and vibrant town centre.

The property occupies a very prominent trading location right in the centre of
town at the junction of Castle Street, The Borough and Market Place. This
location is particularly popular with banks with Barclays, Yorkshire, Halifax,
HSBC and NatWest all represented. These, together with the Market and
national retailers, ensure the pitch is busy.

The location is indicated on the Goad plan extract.

EPC ratings are – Yorkshire Bank D, Café Rio D, Barclays C, Office suite B.

PROPOSAL

For the freehold interest subject to the three incomes and vacant possession of the office suite
we seek a price of £1,160,000 subject to contract to show a net initial yield of 9.0% with costs at
5.9%. This should increase to 9.7% on letting the office suite.

Note – the other half of the Barclays Bank is let on a co-terminus lease with coinciding
