Tenancy
The entire property is let on a full repairing and insuring lease to Lloyds Bank plc (having approx. 1,100 branches) (T/O for Y/E 31/12/2020 £18.5bn, Pre-Tax Profit £1.32bn and Shareholders' Funds £41.04bn) for a term of 14 years, 2 months and 29 days from 25th March 2007 (Holding Over - See Note 1) at a current rent of £18,750 per annum exclusive.
Note 1: The Freeholders served a Section 25 Notice on 23rd September 2021 terminating the Lease on 31st March 2022 on the whole demise and offering a new lease for 10 years from 1st April 2022 with upward Rent Review on 1st April 2027 at a commencing rent of £22,000 p.a. exclusive.
The rental offer is not binding and as Lloyds Bank do not currently occupy the Flat and the Garage for business purposes, the possibility exists of obtaining vacant possession of these. Purchasers must take their own advice in this respect.
Note 2: The Tenant also trades from the adjoining double unit (Nos. 1-3) which interconnects with No. 5 at ground floor level only. For the avoidance of doubt, Nos. 1-3 are not included in this sale.
Note 3: No. 5 has no front entrance. The Bank's entrance is via No. 3. There may be a Reinstatement Clause (re: shopfront, WC etc…) in the event of Lloyds Bank not renewing their Lease.
