South Cambridgeshire District Council is set to invest £13m in a science park.

The council is buying 140 Cambridge Science Park as part of its property investment portfolio.

The deal is based on a net initial yield after purchaser’s costs of 5.63% which will generate an initial income of £776,970 per annum.

This is projected to rise next year to around £840,000 after a rent review.

Forecasts on returns were based over 35 years. And the investment has been scored as very good due to a strong tenant.

    Great piece from Peter Findlay on the PWLB’s tightening of its lending criteria. He raises some pointed questions for the Treasury and explains why the ‘casino council’ characterisation was simplistic and inaccurate. #PWLB #localgov room151.co.uk/treasury/back-…
