Asset Management Opportunities<br />

<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 />

BUSINESS CENTRE<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 />
