30 years from 30th October 1995, expiring 29th

October 2025 (over 10.75 years unexpired). The

current passing rent is £412,888 per annum,

ft) based upon the assumed area at rent review.

The lease is subject to a Schedule of Condition.

For the year ending 31st December 2013, Peugeot Motor

Company Plc (Co. No. 00148545) reported:

Turnover £1,331,515,000

Pre-Tax Profits £1,559,000

Shareholders' Funds £27,397,000

The principal activity of the company is the distribution and sale

of Peugeot cars, Light Commercial Vehicles and replacement

parts in the United Kingdom. For the year ending December

2013, Peugeot’s new car registration rose by 6.0% to 105,435

vehicles, achieving a market share of 4.7%. In July 2014

Peugeot launched the new 108 model which received over

5,000 orders in the first three months, exceeding expectations.

In October 104 two further models were released, the 308 GT

and the 308 Sportium.

The ultimate parent undertaking and controlling party is PSA Peugeot Citroen Group, incorporated in France. PSA Peugeot Citroen Group is the second largest car maker

in Europe with 11.9% of the market and is the leader in light commercial vehicles with 20.7% of the market. With 2,819,000 vehicles sold worldwide (58% of which in

Europe), operations in 160 countries and 195,000 employees worldwide, the Group has Revenues of €54.1 million. In 2014 the French Government and China’s Dongfeng

Motors each invested approximately £660 million in return for 14 percent stakes in Peugeot.

In the third quarter of 2014, Peugeot reported worldwide sales up 5.4%, driven by strong increases in China (+44.4%) and Europe (+7%). The European market expanded

by 5.8% over the period, with the United Kingdom experiencing strong growth (+7.6%). Group revenues for the quarter totalled €12,296 million. For further information

see www.psa-peugeot-citroen.com.

The property is occupied by Robins & Day, Peugeot’s largest dealer group with 34 locations across the United Kingdom. The group was founded in 1913 and in 1970

became a wholly owned subsidiary of Peugeot Motor Company Plc and now exclusively holds the Peugeot franchise. For further information see

The property has been registered for VAT. It is anticipated the sale will be treated as a Transfer of a Going Concern (TOGC).

The current rent of £412,888 per annum reflects a rate of £170.63 per sq m / £15.85 per sq ft overall and £156.10 per sq m / £14.50 per sq ft based upon the assumed

area at rent review.

The rent is reviewed to prime non-food retail warehouse rents of no less than 2,322 sq m (25,000 sq ft) within 5 miles of Derby Cathedral.

The Kingsway Retail Park is considered the prime retail warehouse park for Derby. Located approximately 4.8 km (3 miles) west of the subject property, the scheme

totals 13,006 sq m (140,000 sq ft) with Open A1 and bulky goods consent. Occupiers on the park include TK Maxx, Marks & Spencer, Argos, Halfords, Pets at Home,

Costa, Greggs, Next and Boots. The only vacant unit on the park totals approximately 650 sq m (7,500 sq ft) and is available at a quoting rent of £296 per sq m (£27.50

per sq ft) which we are advised is a discounted rent due to the property being set back and less prominent than the other units. We understand Smyths Toys acquired

a 1,393 sq m (15,000 sq ft) unit in July 2013 for a 15 year term, subject to a break at year 11 with 9 months’ rent free at £253 per sq m (£23.50 per sq ft). In addition,

Hobbeycraft acquired a 836 sq m (9,000 sq ft) unit for a term of 15 years from June 2013, subject to a break at year 10, at a headline rent of £307 per sq m (£28.50 per

sq ft).

The Wyvern Retail Park is located approximately 2.4 km (1.5 miles) south-east of the subject property. In December 2014 Halfords signed a new reversionary 10 year

lease to commence in September 2015 on a 1,389 sq m (14,950 sq ft) unit subject to 12 months’ rent free at a rent of £183 per sq m (£17.00 per sq ft).

In January 2015 the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders announced that new UK car sales reached a 10-year high in 2014, with a total of 2.47 million new

cars registered last year, up 9% on 2013 and the best annual performance since 2004. As a result, the United Kingdom has retained its ranking as the second largest

market in the EU for new car sales, after Germany. It is anticipated that the new car market will top 2.5 million in 2015, surpassing pre-recession levels. Britain’s car

industry now turns over £64 billion a year, directly employing more than 160,000 people with a further 770,000 jobs supported across the wider automotive industry.

We are aware of the following recent car showroom investments;

• Volkswagen Group UK Limited, Tewkesbury Road, Cheltenham comprising a car dealership built in the 1980’s totalling 1564 sq m (16,837 sq ft) with approximately

10 years unexpired at a passing rent equating to £15.12 per sq ft overall. The lease provides for 5 yearly open market rent reviews. We understand the freehold interest

was sold in December 2014 for £3.95 million reflecting a net initial yield of 6.1%.

• Invictus Portfolio, comprising four purpose-built freehold car showrooms located in North London, Birmingham, Camberley and Stockport all let to Volkswagen

Group UK Limited with an average weighted unexpired lease term of 13.49 years with passing rents equating to between £11.11 per sq ft and £24.11 per sq ft. The

price paid in December 2014 was £15.83 million reflecting a net initial yield of 6.15%.

compounded. The passing rent equates to £14.25 per sq ft. We understand the freehold interest was sold in November 2014 for £5.5 million reflecting a net initial

yield of 4.9%.
