High Stakes in Haverhill
Lewis Craig asset management department working closely with our professional team have completed a lease renewal with AXA (UK) Ltd of a major 40,000 sq ft regional office facility in Suffolk.
After two years work, a new 10 year lease has been completed on behalf of long standing off-shore management clients involving an annual rent roll approaching £300,000 pa.
The process of negotiating and agreeing a lease, not only satisfying AXA’s requirements but also our client’s funders, proved challenging to say the least. The situation was further complicated by having to resolve car park boundary and demise considerations, not to mention the trials and tribulations of having to navigate the legal and estate departments of both the Local and County Authorities – but we got there in the end!
Lewis Craig continue to manage this excellent asset, which also incorporates a substantial retail element involving tenants such as Greggs, Savers, Corals, etc.
We continue to seek similar management-intensive situations, with our clients typically including high net-worth individuals, family trusts, property and off-shore companies. For further information please speak with Andrew Taylor or Jeffrey Craig.
