Multi-let buildings with a relatively long WAULT (Weighted Average Unexpired Lease Term) or tenants considered “sticky” may also be considered if the location is strong and future redevelopment potential exists.
Open to acquiring office investments where there is a clear residential underpin and medium-term conversion potential through strategic asset management.

Potential for extensions or redevelopments to maximise residential unit count.
Explore opportunities to enhance rental yields, either through standard rental agreements or by converting units into HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation) where feasible and compliant with local planning laws.

Preference for freehold properties, though long leasehold will also be considered.
