The Acuitus live-streamed commercial property auction on September 23rd at 1pm will feature 55 lots – our largest catalogue of the year so far.
The sale features a wide range of industrial, retail, office, assisted living, medical and development assets with guide prices ranging from £40,000 to £3.25m.
Acuitus Chairman, Richard Auterac, comments: “The auction room is attracting growing groups of committed buyers and sellers who see it as a route to market which brings certainty, price transparency and diversity of assets.
“As the market has moved forward in the wake of the Lockdown, the auction room is providing vital insights into investor attitudes and how values are responding. We took the decision to add this auction to our 2020 programme of sales because of the increasing momentum in the market, and the size of the catalogue reflects this.”
Among the lots being offered at the September sale are a major city centre freehold retail parade in Sheffield. It comprises three units let to Co-Op Bank, Skipton Building Society and Toni & Guy, and produces total current income of £186,030pax with around five years term certain on the leases. The guide price is £1.7m-£1.8m which would reflect a net initial yield of 10%.
Richard Auterac comments: “There are many opinions surrounding the future trajectory of UK High Streets. The challenges are obvious, but many buyers are trying to look past the pandemic and see what High Street business are fundamental and will endure over time. The recent changes to the Use Classes Order and the introduction of Use Class E should also create a significant opportunity for investors and developers.”
