Terms

Gross and Net Income Profile - We understand the current gross income is £73,512. Our clients recover service charge, insurance, water and electricity costs for leased units and we have been advised the total shortfall at the current time is £4,038, giving a net income of £69,474. Note, we have netted off these costs for Unit 1A where the tenant pays an all inclusive rent of £10,000 pa. This is a historic arrangement based on the tenant company being related to the owner company. We expect the purchaser would want to regularise this arrangement or relet based on commercial terms.

Lease Structures - Most leases are on a rolling year to year arrangement where either party can terminate on 1 months notice with one or two requiring 3 months notice. Diamac are on a 5 year lease with the landlord having an option to terminate on 1 years notice in the event of redevelopment. Leases are effectively IRI with the landlord taking responsibility for common and external repairs / maintenance and recovering through the service charge.
