Having served as a local headquarters for the Allied Irish Bank for many years, we've just completed our second letting of this prominent building on Lewisham High Street. After advising the private owner in connection with his purchase of the property back in 2007, we concluded a letting to Connexions, who at the time had secured a Government-funded contract to provide careers and welfare advice to young people. Funding for the services that Connexions provided was withdrawn earlier this year, at which point we were engaged by Connexions' parent company, Prospects Services, to dispose of the benefit of their lease. Working closely both with our clients and the owner, we successfully concluded the assignment of the lease to the British Heart Foundation. BHF intend to add the property, which extends to over 8,000 sqft, to their growing chain of Electricals & Furniture stores. Acorn's Property Management Division continues to handle the letting and management of the residential apartments across the upper two floors on behalf of the ultimate landlord.
