TENANCY DETAILS
The ground floor shop is let to an individual by way of a 1 year lease from 20th December 2019. The original rent of £7,000 pa continues to be paid. There is therefore the opportunity to negotiate a new tenancy with the tenant and potentially agree a higher rent. A copy of the ease can be made available upon request. The flat is vacant.
