M retail estates Case Studies

We believe strongly in delivering what we promise and have a highly principled approach in all our dealings. Below is a sample of recent acquisitions and we would be happy to discuss the numerous other purchases we have completed:

2 Godstone Road, Caterham Surrey
We wrote to the owner-occupier of the property asking if he would consider a sale. Coincidently he had decided to sell although had not got as far as instructing an agent. We were able to agree a purchase price allowing the vendors to retire quickly and save an agency fee. We have now agreed a letting to Caffe Nero and we are planning to develop the upper levels in to six residential apartments and extend the shop.

"I needed to retire so their letter expressing an interest in my property was most welcome and I am thoroughly happy with the outcome."
A. Morrison FCA(accountant) Former Senior Partner

60 Deptford High Street London SE8
The vendors were referred to us via a party we had previously bought from. The vendors had owner occupied the property and wished to sell their interest in the property due to a retirement sale. We were able to agree a price and accommodate their preferred time scale of six months. We have now been able to secure Fish Brothers Jewellers as tenants who are delighted to satisfy a long held requirement.

"I had loads of stock and so needed time to trade-down, they were happy to allow six months."
R. Dhir Esq. Proprietor

181 Stoke Newington High Street London N1
The property had been developed by a residential developer who had been seeking a tenant for a considerable amount of time without success. We were able to offer an attractive price for a new long leasehold of the ground floor and basement which meant the developer could release funds for their next project. Eventually we agreed a letting with Done Brothers (Cash Betting) Ltd.

"This was a difficult transaction which the purchasers stuck with and I would certainly sell to them again"
Atique Choudary, Managing Director

14 Deptford High Street London SE8
We canvassed the owner-occupiers who were considering retirement. We agreed a price for new long leasehold which enabled the Freeholder to retain the upper floor flats. The sale though of their stock took considerably longer than they thought and we were happy to delay completion until they were ready to close. We are now looking for a tenant.

"I was written to by M retail estates who were able to delay completing several times as I had so much stock to sell. I have already referred them to other members of my family who are considering retirement."
Mr Katayal, Proprietor

10 Westow Hill Crystal Palace
We bought the property via private treaty at best bids from Alliance and Leicester Bank plc which had previously been one of their branches and is now occupied by Caffe Nero.

"We sold the property to one of the Principals of M retail estates and we would be happy to deal with them again"
R. Wheeler Esq. Group Property
