<strong>Bethel</strong> <strong>Square</strong> has always traded well with a high level<br />
of occupancy. During the poorer economic period from<br />
2009, twelve lease renewals / lettings have taken place.<br />
The most recent lease renewals which have completed<br />
in the last 12 months have been to national multiples<br />
such as Edinburgh Woollen Mill and Holland & Barrett.<br />
68% of the leases expire within the next 4 years and<br />
therefore an opportunity exists to re-gear the existing<br />
leases to create longer terms and in turn improve value.<br />
<strong>Bethel</strong> <strong>Square</strong> is the 100% prime retailing pitch<br />
in Brecon and as such the opportunity exists to<br />
improve the tenant mix within the square by increasing<br />
the presence of national multiple retailers.<br />

The square would lend itself well to some form of<br />
market stall trading which could provide additional<br />
income and further increase footfall in the square.<br />
There is approximately 2,896 sq ft of office<br />
accommodation which could potentially be<br />
converted to residential, subject to gaining the<br />
necessary consents.<br />
First Floor 7A Lion House is currently vacant and<br />
when let will provide in our opinion an additional<br />
income of approximately £3,000 p.a.<br />

The purchase of the property will be<br />
subject to VAT although it is anticipated the<br />
property will be treated as a Transfer of a<br />

HUNDRED AND NINETY THOUSAND POUNDS) subject to contract and<br />
exclusive of VAT for our client’s freehold interest. A purchase at this level would<br />
reflect a net initial yield of 9.0% assuming purchaser’s costs of 5.8%.<br />
