Read the income, not the headline
Review lease term, break rights, rent-free periods, incentives, arrears, fit-out obligations and tenant quality. A contracted rent means little without the obligations beside it.
Current status
The property examples below are third-party market snapshots captured on 25 July 2026—not exclusive Amberstone mandates. Reconfirm appointment, permit, title, use, lease, price, fit-out and availability.
Check the use and the fit-out
Confirm permitted use, licensing constraints, common-area rules, access, parking and the cost of making the space usable for its likely occupier. These details affect demand and downtime.
Model carry through vacancy
Service charges, utilities, management, reinstatement and a realistic void period belong in the scenario. The asset needs to carry its operating costs when rent is not being received.
Plan the buyer at exit
Consider who could buy the asset next, what they will need to verify and the competing stock available when you expect to sell. Exit clarity shapes the entry decision.
Run a whole-cost scenario ↗Interrogate the tenant covenant
The tenant's business, guarantee, deposit, renewal position, payment history and fit-out ownership can matter more than a quoted rent. Read the income together with its enforceability.
Separate office, retail and operating space
Each asset class carries a different demand base, licensing path, fit-out obligation and vacancy pattern. Compare like with like before comparing a yield.
Live market file / captured 25 July 2026
Four offices. Four operating files.
Vacant, fitted and income-producing offices cannot be compared by price per square foot alone. The lease, tenant covenant, fit-out ownership, service charge, permitted use and reletting time determine the asset.
