1)
The Seller can confirm that it is in advanced stages of negotiations with Tesco Stores Limited for them to take a new lease of the commercial space. The key terms of the proposed letting are:
• Annual rent of £115,000 excluding VAT subject to review
• Rent to be reviewed on an upwards only basis subject to a 12.5% cap
• 15 year term
• Effective full repairing and insuring
• Conditional principally upon:
• Tesco Stores Limited obtaining relevant planning consent and a premises licence
• the Seller/Landlord procuring vacant possession. It is expected the possession would be obtained through agreement with existing tenant if possible or through enforcement of lease provisions.
It is understood that the points of principle in documentation are now agreed, subject to wording agreement. Hence we understand that entering the Agreement for Lease will be possible shortly after exchange, should a buyer so desire.
In respect of the current tenant, since the granting of the Vesting Order, the Seller’s managing agent has demanded rent in accordance with the lease terms and on a quarterly in advance basis. The tenant remains in arrears having only made part payment (equivalent to a monthly pro-rata sum). The Seller has not agreed to monthly rent payments following granting of the Vesting Order. We understand the tenant is keen to remain in the Property and would like to agree monthly rent payments.
The following documentation is available in the legal pack:
• Heads of Terms;
• Current rent statement for existing tenant;
