Insight Investment Management (IIM) has agreed to buy Beaumont Industrial Estate in Banbury, advised by GVA Grimley. Comprising a 17.2 acre manufacturing and distribution facility, the accommodation extends to 42,746sq m. Let to two tenants on four separate leases, the site produces a current income of £1,929,175 per annum. IIM paid £22.1M, equating to an initial yield of 8.25%.
Mark Beaumont, of GVA Grimley, comments: “the property offers good quality manufacturing and distribution accommodation within an established distribution location. The average rent is below £4.20 per sq ft which provides a substantial discount to prime rents with good rental growth prospects.”
Part of the site benefits from bonded warehouse consent status, providing considerable benefits to distribution tenants.
