What it costs to own
The price is only part of it. Every auction house adds a buyer's fee, and you pay stamp duty and a solicitor. Net yield is the rent over all of it.

What it's likely to sell for
From what comparable lots actually sold for against their guide, in Cornerlot's results.
Half of the 99 UK commercial lots with a published price sold between 1.03× and 1.25× their guide; the middle one at 1.10×. On this guide that's £92,000 to £112,000, most likely about £99,000, which would make the net yield 8.76%.
Only some auction houses publish what lots sold for, so this sample comes from Allsop and Savills, not Clive Emson: treat it as a rough guide for this lot.
56% of the 546 UK commercial lots offered found a buyer, before or at the auction. A quarter of those sales went above the band and a quarter below it: it's a guide to the room, not a valuation.
Energy rating
Clive Emson hasn't published a rating for this lot. Ask for the certificate or check the legal pack: in England and Wales, a commercial property rated F or G can't be let without a registered exemption.
