An Old Master Brought Up to Date

Originally purchased in 1903, the 4 acre site on Whippendell Road was used to build a 100,000 sq ft production facility. Over the last 100 years it has been used for purposes such as building parts for WW2 war planes to being owned by Robert Maxwell as a print works. In 1980 it was purchased by a private investor and developed into a multi-let industrial estate.

Vail Williams Investment team were approached to advise on the future of Rembrandt House and identified that to yield the highest value the site should become a residential development.

We were therefore appointed to handle the sale and after successfully marketing the property, we received over 20 bids. Rembrandt House was sold to Development Securities for £4.25 million.
