ESH have advised their private client on the acquisition of the Premier Inn in Birkenhead for a purchase price of £4,700,000. Stephens Maguire acted for the vendor.

The property is a 67 room hotel occupied by Premier Inn with an attractive unexpired term for over 12 years to break and 17 years to expiry.

Acting on behalf of GJL Property Developers Limited, ESH along with joint agents Harvey Spack Field have transformed the scheme from 1 trading tenant in June 2022 to a fully let position in 4 months.

New lettings have been agreed with Majestic Wine, IVC Evidensia and The Gym Group. Please contact Chris Fenton further.

Savills Investment Management on behalf of the Charities Property Fund has completed two new lettings to Costa Coffee and Greggs at Dovefields Retail Park in Uttoxeter.
