Planning The property is situated within the London Borough of Westminster and is within the Mayfair conservation area. The building is Grade II listed and benefits from B1 office use whilst the lower ground floor has the advantage of part office and part residential uses. As the building is largely in office use, residential change of use will be acceptable to (Westminster City Council), subject to the impact of any changes on features of special interest on or within the listed buildings, the maintenance of sufficient amenity for residential neighbours (for example daylight and sunlight and overlooking) and the creation of sufficient amenity for the new residential occupants of the building. No affordable housing will be required as the site falls below WCC s threshold of 10,764 sq ft gross external area (1,000 sq m gross external area). Planning policy indicates that a wide series of other land uses would be possible for the site, subject to their impact on the listed buildings features of special interest, including hotel, serviced apartments and short-term lets, embassy and medical uses. Residential Potential 22 23 represents a rare freehold residential conversion opportunity in a Prime Central London location where there is significant demand for high quality residential stock. It is considered that the existing floor plates along with the location of the staircase and lift allow for the conversion of the building into a scheme of lateral residential flats subject to the the planning considerations outlined above and architect feasibilities. Furthermore, since the building was originally built as two townhouses, the reinstatement of the original configuration ought also to be feasible. VAT The property has been elected for Value Added Tax and therefore it is intended that the sale will be treated by way of a TOGC. Transaction Structure The property is the only asset held within a JPUT structure, further details of which can be provided on request. Investment Rationale Rare opportunity to acquire a Freehold building in the heart of London s West End. Of interest to investors, residential developers and owner occupiers. Prestigious Mayfair address comprehensively refurbished in 2009 to provide high quality Grade A office accommodation with an associated lower ground floor flat. Low passing rent of 392,379 per annum which reflects 62.31 per sq ft overall on the lease accommodation offering excellent rental growth prospects. Full vacant possession achievable in September 2013. Proposal Our client is seeking offers in excess of 9.25m (Nine Million Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Pounds) for their freehold interest subject to contract and exclusive of VAT. A purchase at this level will reflect a net initial yield of 4.% and a capital value of 1,411 per sq ft on the NIA and 1,010 per sq ft on the GIA after deducting purchaser s costs of 1.8%. Since there is a flat roof above the first floor running the entire length of the rear of the building and a further roof above the second floor in the south-western part of the building, there may also be scope to provide external amenity space subject to resolving any potential overlooking issues. In summary, 22-23 is in a prestigious location within Westminster where there is a presumption in favour of residential conversion. The building itself has considerable scope for a sensitive residential conversion with associated outsideamenity space.
