(1) Mackays Stores Ltd is a family run business now rebranded as M&Co. It currently employs more than 3,900 staff, with 3,500 of those based in almost 3,000 stores and the remainder in its Inchinnan head office, or London buying office (Source: www.mandco.com 08/09/2017). The lease is pre 1996 and therefore Bejam Group Plc and others remain liable under privity of contract. See legal pack for full information.
(2) The retail unit has been sublet to Sainsbury’s Supermarkets Ltd at £135,000 p.a. expiring June 2025 with an RPI uplift in 2018 and is trading as a Sainsbury’s Local. We understand the residential flats have been sublet on Assured Shorthold Tenancies with a total rent of £24,900 p.a. The total sub rent on this part of the property therefore amounts to £159,900 p.a.x. There is also a sublease of a substation to South Eastern Power Network Plc expiring June 2025 at a peppercorn.
(3) Cobham Pilates has been established for 10 years. It offers more than 75 weekly Mat, Barre and Reformer classes, from Beginner to
Advanced (Source:www.cobhampilates.com 08/09/2017).
(4) The lease provides a tenant’s option to determine on 23/06/2020.
