Breckland Council - Minstergate, Thetford

With the change in economic climate, Roche has recognised the challenge facing landlords and tenants alike and has evolved to attain the best outcome for each client. The prevailing trend has been a change in attitudes and relationships between the parties. An era of pragmatism has developed with parties disposed to discuss issues and reach agreement.

We act for Breckland Council who own the former Somerfield store in Thetford, which extends to about 29,500 sq ft, now occupied by Wilkinsons and Poundstretcher. This is a recently purchased investment for the council.

Rent review negotiations are on-going.

East of England Co-op - Hall Rd, Norwich

Acting for the East of England Co-op we achieved an increase in rent on the Auto Devotion premises.

An interesting case, the car showroom and workshop has an area of about 12,800 sq ft. The premises have the largest external car sales spaces of any of the comparable leasehold properties in Norwich and the rent review pattern was 7 yearly, an unusual frequency.

These two issues gave rise to justification for an increase with which the client was pleased in this difficult market.

48 London Street, Norwich

Acting on behalf of a landlord from South London we advised on the 2010 rent review on these premises occupied by Costa Coffee.

One issue to agree with the tenants retained surveyor was on floor areas. The floor layout is unusual and challenged the measuring techniques of both surveyors.

Although an agreement was reached on floor areas, the rent at review was recorded at a nil increase.

Although it is recognised that times are testing, it was disappointing that we could not achieve uplift in the rent. However we were able to advise our client, with confidence, all aspects of the review had been considered and the conclusion reached was due to lack of good comparable evidence at rents higher than that already paid.
