A friendly surveyor recommended our services to St Christopher's Fellowship, a charity that provides support to children and young people nationwide. St Christopher's previously used these two adjoining period houses as bedsitting accommodation, but the facility was too small to prove financially viable.
We were asked to advise on the disposal and took the view that the property could be put to a variety of uses. With accommodation extending to approx. 2,800sqft GIA over four floors, the property appeared suitable for reversion to houses, conversion to flats or for use as a surgery or small educational facility. An open marketing campaign was undertaken, from which it became apparent that the strong residential values and demand in the local area would drive the ultimate interest in the buildings.
The preferred bidder was forced to take a positive view on several technical and compliance issues, but ultimately completed his acquisition at £1.35M in September 2022.
