A trio of investment properties has come onto the market in Oxford. Summertown-based agent Carter Jonas has two properties available in Cowley — Temple Court, a multi-let office investment in Oxford Road which is 83 per cent let and 11 and 13 Hollow Way, a mixed restaurant/take-away and residential accommodation.

The group is rounded off by a second mixed shop and residential property on the corner of Botley Road and Henry Road in West Oxford (pictured above), which currently houses a shop as well as a four-bedroom house and a one- bedroom coach house.

Temple Court offers 4540 sq ft of office space and is available for £675,000.

Currently ten of its 12 office suites are let with a rental income of £62,403 a year and a net initial yield of 8.75 per cent. The Hollow Way property includes a take-away currently trading as the Dragon Bowl on the ground floor as well as three one-bedroom flats above.

It has a guide price of £550,000 and currently brings in rent of £35,680 a year with a net initial yield of 6.13 per cent.

Number 64 Botley Road, houses the Oxford Ironmongery shop and is available at a guide of £499,000.

It has three distinct elements, those being the commercial letting of the ground floor, a residential letting of the detached former coach house and a protected tenancy of the four-bedroom house.

Jon Silversides, senior associate at Carter Jonas in Oxford, said: “It is rare to see mixed use investment opportunities within a price range that is suitable for private investors.

“As a private or commercial investor you will get next to nothing for your money in a bank at the moment or another form of savings account so these opportunities provide not only better returns, but also the ability to improve capital value over the medium to long term.

“Each one is a slightly different opportunity and the beauty of a mixed property investment is that if you lose one of your residential or business tenants you still have an income coming in from the other side.

“This gives you more time to make sure you get the right tenant moving into any possible future vacant property.”
