A copy of the lease along with further information will be in the online legal pack. Subsequent to this Norwich City Council developed what was the car parking area at the rear into 10 individual properties known as Lowes Yard that were then sold on 99 year leases. Some of these leases have applied for lease extensions for which a premium was payable. These flats are 1, 3, 4, 7 and 12. There is further reversionary income potential on the others. The site attracts a rent from Norwich City Council of £34,000 per annum. It can be reviewed every 3 years, the last review was carried out in 2017. The broadly rectangular site borders Colegate to the front and St Georges Street and Calvert Street to the side. It is next to St Georges Church Colegate on one side and the Octagon Chapel on the other. This would appeal to a long term investor looking for a secure income.
