The property occupies a highly prominent position fronting the Pentagon Island roundabout which is the main junction of the A52 dual carriageway. The A52 (Brian

Freehold.
The property is let to Peugeot Motor Company Plc,
on effectively full repairing and insuring terms, for
30 years from 30th October 1995, expiring 29th
October 2025 (over 10.75 years unexpired). The
current passing rent is £412,888 per annum,
reflecting 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 lease is subject to a Schedule of Condition.
The lease benefits from 5 yearly rent reviews, the
next being on 30th October 2015. The rent is
reviewed to prime retail warehouse rents assuming
the following Notional Premises:
A prime non-food retail warehouse property of
no less than 2,322 sq m (25,000 sq ft)
A minimum of 10 years unexpired lease term
The property is located within a high quality
retail park within a five mile radius of Derby
Cathedral
The property is constructed within three years
of the review date
For the purposes of the rent review the subject
premises have a Gross Internal Area of 2,645 sq m
(28,475 sq ft).
The rent review provisions have resulted in a rental
increase at each previous rent review, with the
exception of 2010.
The property is occupied by Robins & Day, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Peugeot Motor Company Plc
who exclusively holds the Peugeot franchise.
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;

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

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%.
