Brabners advises on sale of Knutsford retail property

LIVERPOOL law firm Brabners Chaffe Street has advised Princess Street Holdings on the sale of the Waitrose building in Princess Street in Knutsford, for £2.7m.

Associated British Foods Pensions Trustees has bought the building comprising 12,809 sq ft. The space is let to Waitrose on a 25-year lease.

The initial passing rent totals £140,000 per year, with fixed uplifts every five years.

Matthew Dobson, property partner at Brabners Chaffe Street, said: “This is a successful and desirable retail location, with a strong occupier profile, making it an attractive target for investors.”

The deal reflects a net initial yield of just under 5%.

Rob Millington, of Cheetham & Mortimer, also advised Princess Street Holdings.

Alun Jones, of Edwards & Co and Mayer Brown, acted for the purchaser.
