ROCK VALLEY, MANSFIELD

50-APARTMENT FORWARD PURCHASE AND INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY

Designed around the site’s distinctive retained Clock Tower, the proposed development will provide a mix of 38 one-bedroom and 12 two-bedroom self-contained apartments, arranged across the ground and four upper floors.

The current proposals include passenger-lift access, communal circulation areas, external amenity space, cycle storage, landscaping and 42 proposed car-parking spaces.

At the £8,000,000 asking price, the acquisition equates to approximately £160,000 per apartment. Based upon the current indicative furnished rental appraisal, the development is projected to generate approximately £571,080 per annum, representing an indicative gross yield of approximately 7.14%.

Combined annual rent: Approximately £412,680
