ALTEC CENTRE
Aberdeen is Scotland’s third largest city with a population of c. 210,000 and is located on the north-east coast, approximately 125 miles north of Edinburgh and 150 miles north-east of Glasgow. The city benefits from excellent transport links to the rest of the UK, with direct flights to all the major UK destinations and several European cities.
The city is a major international centre within the worldwide energy sector and the European hub for oil and gas exploration and production in the North Sea. The city has experienced exceptional growth in recent years resulting in a
thriving economy. The city has one of the most dynamic economies in the UK, with unemployment rates that are significantly below the Scottish and UK averages. In addition the city is the administrative capital of North East Scotland, has a wealth of food, fisheries and agricultural organisations and is home to over 20,000 students.
The strength of the Aberdeen economy is reflected in the office occupational market. Demand in the city has outstripped supply since the middle part of 2011 creating a strong platform for rental growth.
Aberdeen
LocationThe Altec Centre is located within Altens, one of Aberdeen’s prime and most popular commercial locations. It is the location of Altens which has led to its popularity as a commercial area. It is close to the city centre (circa 2 miles), the harbour and has very strong transport links to the city’s main arterial routes and the A90 (the main road south from Aberdeen). Altens provides a mix of industrial and office buildings.
The Altec Centre is located in a prominent position within Altens on the corner of Minto Avenue and Minto Drive directly opposite the North East Scotland College – Altens Campus. Altens is characterised by high quality occupiers including John Lewis, Schlumberger, Aggreko, Mobil, Cameron Halliburton, AALCO and Maersk Oil.

Service Charge
TenureThe property is held long leasehold on a 999 year lease from 28/07/1998 until 27/07/2997 at £1pa subject to a right to purchase any time after 01/01/2023 for £1.
EPCsEPCs have been carried out and will be made available to interested parties.
The service charge budget runs to 28/02/2015. The annual budget is £92,052 pa (£3.12 psf) which is fully recoverable from the occupational tenants. Two tenants have service charge caps although there are no shortfalls in recovery as the caps are above the current service charge levels. Insurance and gas/electricity is charged to tenants separately and does not form part of the service charge.
VATThe property has been elected for VAT and therefore VAT will be payable in respect of the purchase price. We anticipate the transaction can be treated as a TOGC (Transfer of Going Concern).
Proposal
We are instructed to seek offers in excess of £5,000,000 (Five million pounds) which reflects a net initial yield of 8.85% with a reversionary yield of 9.07% (assuming 5.80% purchaser’s costs).
