Tilman Brewin Dolphin, formerly known as Tilman Asset Management is understood to have sold a retail block on Kings Road in the upmarket Chelsea area of south west London, turning a €13m profit on the reported purchase price in 2004. According to commercial property portal, CoStar, the 15,000 sq ft 6-unit property – which houses five retailers named as Petit Bateau, Reminiscence, Accessorize, Vodafone and Timberland – has been sold to Cadogan Estates for GBP 29m (€34m). Cadogan Estates is the property company owned by the Earl of Cadogan who originally owned much of the freehold of property in the Chelsea and Kensington areas. The initial net yield is reported to be a lowly 3.65%.
The property was reportedly bought by the Irish consortium in 2004 for GBP 18.3m (€22m) yielding an overall profit of close to €13m. The initial net yield of 3.65% in last week’s reported sale would equate to a net yield previously of 5.75% to Tilman. So, looks like a very profitable property investment.
Tilman Brewin Dolphin, based in Clonskeagh in Dublin, says of itself it “provides a comprehensive service for the management, protection and growth of client wealth”
