Challenge

Vail Williams was appointed by a private investor to dispose of Aerodrome House, a two-storey office building in Gosport, Hampshire. Acting in a competitive but yield-sensitive market, our investment team focused on promoting the income security and potential yield of the asset when going out to market.

Having secured a successful sale, we were retained by the purchaser to proactively manage the asset post-acquisition to protect income, maintain the building, and ensure its long-term performance.

How we helped
  • Advised on the freehold investment sale, positioning the property to attract investors seeking strong income returns in a competitive regional office market.
  • Marketed the asset, highlighting its secure income profile and established tenants, including Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust and accountants, Brent King.
  • Demonstrated the strength of the investment through a 9.25% net initial yield, appealing to yield-driven buyers.
  • Successfully secured a private investor to purchase the income producing asset.

“Vail Williams navigated a competitive, yield-sensitive market with confidence, securing a strong outcome while clearly demonstrating the asset’s income security and value. Crucially, they also ensured a seamless transition post-acquisition for the buyer, putting in place professional management to protect income and support the asset’s long-term performance.”
