The property is currently used as an office but has been acquired with the benefit of permitted development planning approval to convert the first, second and third floor into twelve apartments with approximately 2,500 square foot of office space on the ground floor. Management are exploring revising the planning to add an extension which adds an additional three apartments, this increases the total to fifteen. The Company expect construction to start in Q2 2021 with completion during Q2 2022 even with the revised extension. The Company expects a development cost of £1.0 million with a Gross Development Value (GDV) on completion of £2.3 million. The costs and timelines are dependent on the permitted development planning approval and do not include the planning extension as envisaged. The site is located in the heart of Stockport on St Petersgate in proximity to a number of historical buildings, including St Peters Church, and is a 5-minute walk to Stockport train station which has a direct rail link to both Manchester and London. The Company is also announcing that its related party shareholder loan facility with One Heritage Property Development Limited has been increased from £5.0 million to £7.5 million. The increased facility can only be drawn down in the event that the Company is unable to secure construction finance from an external provider on terms acceptable to the Board of the Company and to a value of at least £2.5million. Once construction finance of £2.5million has been secured by the Company, the loan facility from One Heritage Property Development Limited will revert to maximum of £5.0 million.
