The property, which is let to B H Blackwell Limited, will become vacant in November 2007 following a tenant break option. The outgoing tenant is paying the company a penalty of GBP 131,875, equivalent to six months rental to terminate the lease. The sale is conditional on the purchaser obtaining planning consent to install a mezzanine floor in the unit. This is expected to be achieved within the next 3 months. Commenting, Michael Morris, Fund Manager, said: 'This is the fifth sale of smaller assets from within the portfolio this year. It is consistent with our strategy to dispose of assets where there is limited potential to add value through future active management.'
