(1) For the year ending 31st August 2016, Boots UK Limited reported a turnover of £6,876,000,000, pre-tax profits of £523,000,000 and a total net worth of £1,204,000,000 (Source: Experian Group 17/01/2018). Boots is the UK’s leading pharmacy-led health and beauty retailer with around 2,500 stores in the UK, ranging from local community pharmacies to large destination health and beauty stores. Boots UK is part of the Retail Pharmacy International Division of Walgreens Boots Alliance, Inc, the first global pharmacy-led health and wellbeing enterprise (Source: www.boots-uk.com 23/02/2018).
(2) We understand the tenant has sublet part of the ground floor to Jans Floral Boutique Limited.
(3) The tenant is currently benefitting from a rent free period expiring 31/12/2018 in exchange for removing the 2020 break option. The seller has agreed to adjust the completion monies so that the unit effectively produces £47,025.16 from the completion of the sale.
(4) The lease provides for annual fixed rental increases of 1.5%. The rent will therefore increase to £47,730.53 p.a.x on 01/04/2019, £48,446.49 p.a.x on 01/04/2020, £49,173.19 on 01/04/2021 and £49,910.79 on 01/04/2022.
