What challenges did our client have?
AEW wanted to dispose of their high street investment asset on Commercial Road, Portsmouth. Cited were in the process of letting two of the prime units in the parade to Kokomo and Specsavers, and so any sale needed to be timed to capture the full value impact of these.
How did Cited solve the challenge?
Cited recommended a targeted marketing campaign of the investment. Using our real-time knowledge of the active investment buyers, we were able to secure multiple offers for the asset. Terms of sale were agreed with a buyer that were conditional upon the completion of the ongoing lettings.
What was the result for the client?
The sale exchanged in line with the agreed timescales, with completion following a short while after the completion of the lettings.
The sale completed at a price approximately 25% in excess of the client’s current valuation.
