This is a sale by the mortgagee with limited knowledge of the Property. As such, replies to the Commercial Property Standard Enquiries will not be provided. Each prospective buyer must rely on its own investigations of the Property and enquiries of the local authority etc. and any specific enquiries must be raised via the mortgagee’s Solicitors, Burges Salmon.

Included in the legal pack is a claim by the borrower’s director against the Receivers. However, the property is being sold by Nationwide as mortgagee under power of sale which is unaffected by this claim. In any case, the Receivers have defended the claim and applied to strike it out.

Please note that Future Medicine Limited are not currently in occupation of the property and are trying to assign their lease.

In respect of the advertising agreement/licence to JC Decaux UK Limited (“J C Decaux”), please note that the Seller’s knowledge in relation to the advertising hoarding agreement/licence to JC Decaux is limited and based on all the information that has to date been provided. The Seller gives no warranties in this regard.

For the avoidance of doubt, we understand that a notice to terminate the licence/agreement was served by JC Decaux on 5th August 2009 but was later withdrawn via a letter dated 3rd September 2009. The 3rd September 2009 letter stated that the rent would be reviewed on 6th September 2013 without expressly changing the rent review schedule set out in the original 6th March 2008 licence/agreement (which was originally stated to take place every two years from 6 March 2008 onwards).

Another letter received from JC Decaux dated 9th November 2011, suggested that the rent reviews would be due September 2013, September 2015 and on each second September thereafter. Further enquiries, requests for clarification on the rent review and additional information have been made of the occupier, J C Decaux, but no response has been received as 1st July 2014.

In the absence of evidence to the contrary, it is our understanding that the wall that the hoarding is fixed to is a party wall falling within the demise of the Property, shown in orange in the auction catalogue but the Seller gives no warranties in this regard. No objections or requisitions shall be made in respect of this or any of the above relating to the advertising hoarding.
