Europa Capital, and partner Addington Capital, the property, investment and asset management specialist, announce the sale of the Webhelp Call Centre in Dearne Valley, Rotherham to a privately owned Isle of Man property company for £6.875 million, reflecting a net initial yield of 9.25%.
The freehold property comprises a 62,700 sq ft modern two-story building, with 440 car park spaces and is let until March 2024 at a rent of £675,000 per annum (£10.75 psf).
Europa Capital and Addington acquired the property as part of Prospect Portfolio in January 2016.
Hugo Black, Partner at Europa Capital, commented: “This represents the seventh sale out of the original 26-property portfolio, while various value-accretive initiatives are being pursued on the remainder of the portfolio.”
Matthew Allen, Principal of Addington Capital said: “This deal follows on from our flurry of investment sales announced in February and is a further testament to the strength in demand for sub £10 million properties. Breaking up portfolios acquired over the past 2/3 years remains further underpinned by the strong auctions market.”
Allsop & C&W acted jointly for the seller and Andrew Dixon & Company of Telford advised the purchaser.
