A substantial light-industrial investment in The Teardrop Centre, offered as a sale-and-leaseback across a large, secure 3.44-acre site. The single-unit warehouse includes high eaves (8.3m), six loading doors, a large rear yard, off-street parking and on-site electrical infrastructure (substation and three-phase supply) — features that support heavy logistics, distribution or manufacturing use. Immediate access to the A20, M25 and M20 and proximity to Swanley station provide strong regional and national connectivity.
This is presented as an institutional-style let: a new full repairing and insuring lease for 10 years at a substantial annual rent. That income profile will appeal to yield-focused buyers seeking an operationally ready asset with scale and infrastructure already in place. The large warehouse footprint and ancillary office floors offer flexibility for continued occupational use or long-term let to a single occupier.
Important buyer note: the sale is conditional on a 10-year leaseback. The limited unexpired lease term is a material consideration — many mortgage lenders are likely to refuse lending against the asset. Buyers should factor in lender restrictions, potential financing at specialist/asset-backed terms, and the reversion profile at lease expiry. Broadband speeds are reported slow, and the setting is more industrial/hamlet than urban — sensible for logistics but not for residential uses.
Overall, this is a purpose-built logistics/industrial opportunity offering scale, site security and power capacity. It suits institutional investors or owner-occupiers prepared to accept the current lease structure or to plan for reversion and potential repositioning at lease end.
