AMBERGLOBE SELL SEVENOAKS DAY NURSERY IN JUST 8 WEEKS!

Amberglobe are delighted to announce the recent sale of this recently opened day nursery in Sevenoaks, Kent. Nick Brown comments, this property was part of a wider investment freehold for the owner who after letting it out as offices, decided to convert the space into a day nursery just off the high street in Sevenoaks.

From day one this took off and 6 months into the project the now former owner was spending more time at the nursery than doing his day job of property developing! He then approached Amberglobe to try and find a buyer for this very young setting. We knew this would be a popular proposition with the only real drawback being the length of time that the setting has been open and the lack of full accounting information.

The nursery has been acquired by a new entrant into the childcare sector who is looking to build on what has already been achieved at this popular setting. The business was sold off an asking price of £150,000 on a new lease in 8 weeks from the acceptance of the offer.

This was the first time that the owners had experienced the selling process so  a steep learning curve, especially as the new owners were also first time buyers but Amberglobe we are able to advise in the process from start to finish.

With an impressive annual turnover of £400,000+ this opportunity was owned and managed by the sellers. This proposition was initially being offered for sale by another agent on a freehold basis with no success. After discussing the best route forward Amberglobe advised on a leasehold sale where the owners were able to retain the extensive freehold property and as well as receiving a lump sum for the goodwill fixtures and fittings they also have agreed a long term lease with an annual rent of £70,000. Which is an ideal way to achieve an impressive income but retain the interest in the freehold property.
