Rob Spencer, who heads the Management Department at FHP, said:  “Following the acquisition a contract has been placed for the refurbishment of the external parts of the building and for a certain amount of repairs to bring the property into a full state of repair.

We are also about to submit a Planning Application for a change of use of the vacant offices to provide student accommodation.”

David Hargreaves said: “Knight Frank’s Birmingham Office were quoting a price of £4.1 million, but we were able to secure it for a lesser price, showing our clients a yield of more than 10%, whilst providing longer term refurbishment and development opportunities.”
