18 Murraygate, Dundee Prime Retail Investment Opportunity
LOCATIONDundee is Scotland’s fourth largest city with a resident population of over 200,000 and is situated on the north side of the River Tay estuary, 60 miles north of Edinburgh, 25 miles east of Perth and 67 miles south of Aberdeen. The city is the principal centre in the Tayside region, providing the major focus for retail, administration, financial, leisure, education and health services as well as boasting one of the UK’s leading Universities.
The city benefits from excellent motorway links to Glasgow, Perth, Edinburgh and Aberdeen enabling over 90% of the Scottish population to be in Dundee within a 90 minute drive time. Dundee is also situated on the main East Coast rail line, providing regular rail services to Aberdeen in the north and Edinburgh and eventually to London in the south. Dundee also has a domestic airport with regular flights to and from London, Birmingham, Belfast, and Jersey.
Dundee is regarded as one of Scotland’s most attractive in retailing terms supporting over one million sq ft of dedicated retailing floor space. Dundee’s total catchment retail expenditure is in excess of £1.4bn and the city has over 640,000 persons within a 60 minute drive.

COVENANT STATUSWith a trading history of over 100 years, Thorntons PLC is the largest independent confectionary company in the UK. The company is listed on the London Stock Exchange and has a current Dun & Bradstreet rating of 3A1, classified as a minimum risk of business failure, based on their latest accounts filed in July 2012.
For the year ending 30/06/2012 the company recorded a sales turnover of £217.14m, a trading loss of £2.21m and a tangible net worth of £10.02m.

TENUREHeritable Interest.
TENANCYFollowing a strategy review last year, Thorntons announced they would re-shape their own store portfolio concluding they could trade profitably from an estate of 180 – 200 stores. These stores are to be located in vibrant high streets and malls with sustainable footfall and rents that support their business model.
Thorntons have successfully traded from the subject property for over 15 years and in March 2012 extended their lease for a further 5 year period at a re-based rent.
The property is therefore let to Thorntons PLC on FRI lease terms expiring on 27 March 2017 at a passing rent of £72,500 per annum (£84 per sq.ft. Zone A).
