Piccadilly / Brunswick Street, Hanley

Keeping the existing bookmakers and bridal shop as tenants, with three more vacant retail units available, we’ll create 12 new apartments in the heart of this area of regeneration.

Secured at auction last week for £425,000, this space of over 13,000 sq. ft. offers commercial income from day one amounting to £3,500 per month, with potential for £5,500 per month in all, once the three remaining units are occupied.

The creation of residential units above will bring in a further £6,600 monthly income.

* Warning: Capital at risk. The value of your investments can go down as well as up, so you could get back less than you invested. Suitable for sophisticated investors. *

Return on investment…

With £18,750 of our investment left in the property after refinancing, this net annual income represents a return on investment of 300% in the first year. In a nutshell, the small remaining amount is repaid in the first few months, and we’re left with an income-producing asset for life.

Over a ten year period the property will produce around £700,000 in income which can be reinvested into future purchases.
