EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Executive Summary
The Location: • The subject portfolio comprises of the following multi tenanted properties,
1. Monread Lodge Shopping Centre & Monread Lodge - Bar and
Restaurant.
2. Monread Leisure & Commercial Centre.
• The subject properties are located with the Monread Housing Estate the
development of which commenced in the early 1980’s and has seen over
3,000 houses completed since. The Monread estate is located close to Naas
Town Centre being accessed off the R445 (Old Dublin Road), R407 (the
Sallins Rd) and Monread Road link road.
• The subject developments are both situated off the eastern side of Monread
Avenue, a short distance to the north-east of the centre of Naas town in a
predominantly residential location. The surrounding residential stock
appears to comprise predominantly houses dating from circa 1980s.
• There is a larger shopping centre to the north of the immediate area, known
as the Monread Centre, which is anchored by a 10,802 sq.m. Tesco Extra
together with additional occupiers including Argos, Boots, and Costa Coffee.
• Naas town has a population of 21,597 persons (Census of Population 2016).
The town witnessed significant development during the early to mid-2000s
resulting in an increase in population that was substantially fed by the
Dublin commuter housing market.
• Public transport to Naas would be regarded as reasonably good with
numerous Bus Eireann bus routes allowing easy access to Dublin City Centre
from Naas Town Centre, and suburban rail network from Sallins train station
to the north.
The Properties:
Monread Lodge Shopping Centre

• The subject property comprises a detached two-storey neighbourhood


centre, which we are advised extends to approx. 915.27 sqm consisting of 6
x retail units at ground floor level, 1 x first floor office unit (previously in
residential use); and 5 x 2-bed residential apartments overhead.

4
• The retail units are currently occupied by Costcutters Convenience Store
(Units 1& 2); Buzz Dry Cleaners (Unit 3); Macari’s Takeaway (Unit 4); Paddy
Power Bookmakers (Unit 5); and Reilly Butchers (Unit 6).
• The apartments are own door, numbered 1a, 2a, 3a, 5a & 6a. The office is
numbered as unit 4a. All of these first-floor apartments share a broadly
similar layout, size and specification.

Monread Lodge (Bar and Restaurant)

• The subject property comprises a standalone two storey, mixed use building
providing ground floor public house & restaurant accommodation, part first
floor office self-contained office/storage space to the front elevation and a
residential apt at first floor rear elevation level.
• The subject property extends to approximately 575.99 sq.m. (6,200 sq.ft.).
• Externally, the subject property benefits from 32 surface car parking spaces
surrounding the building and features a 360-degree vehicle circulation area
which is ideal for deliveries.

Monread Leisure & Commercial Centre

5
• The subject development comprises a substantial commercial scheme,
dating from late 1990’s and consists of 5 separate blocks which provide
accommodation totalling approx. 6,145 Sq.m. – 66,144 Sq ft. on a site which
extends to approximately 3.2 acres (1.29 hectares).
• The development is two storey in height and is arranged in five blocks with
11 x retail units and 3 x office units and a Leisure Centre. All the buildings
appear to be of broadly similar construction.
• The Leisure Centre comprises an extensive facility with reception, male &
female changing rooms, 25-meter swimming pool and ancillary rooms on
the ground floor and an open plan gym, aerobics studio, spinning room,
squash courts and full heights climbing wall on the first floor and part
ground floor.

Tenure: We understand that the subject properties are held on the basis of Freehold titles.
We have not had sight of the title documents and have assumed that the titles are
good and marketable.

Tenancies & Covenant • The subject portfolio is effectively 100% occupied to a variety of different
Strength: occupiers under numerous lease agreements (commercial and residential
leases) and 1 x license agreement.
• The weighted average unexpired lease term is 6.80 years for the commercial
element.
• The subject portfolio is currently producing a passing rent of €1,010,886 p.a.
• The tenants comprise a range of covenant strengths.
• Further lease details and detailed financial investigations of each tenant can
be found further down in this report.

Suitability for Loan Strengths


Security: • Naas has a population of c. 21,393 people (2016 census) making it the
second largest town in Co. Kildare after Newbridge.
• Naas has become a popular Dublin commuter town in recent years.
• The Sallins and Naas railway station, located in nearby Sallins, is now used
by many residents of Naas and the surrounding area for the daily commute
to Dublin, with travel times averaging around 30 minutes to Dublin's city
centre.
• The subject properties and the business operating there benefit from the
high volumes of passing and local trade as they are long established with the
surrounding local communities.
• The subject portfolio is multi-tenanted with an excellent tenant mix which
in turn will help mitigate vacancy risk / rental void periods.
• There is ample free parking within the complex and its location offers busy
buyers a very efficient one-stop retail location without the traffic congestion
and delays of the town centre.
• The subject portfolio/development is pro-actively managed with minimal
vacancy levels.

9
• Strong demand for residential rental accommodation in the immediate
area.
• The subject portfolio comprises a mix of national and local occupiers with
the majority being of good covenant strength. The WAULT is 6.80 years to
break/expiry for the commercial element of the subject portfolio.
• The subject portfolio has seen minimal vacancies - voids periods since first
developed over 25 years ago.

Risks and Mitigating Factors


• Although the subject development is well established and conveniently
located and serves the local community, Monread is situated on the
outskirts of Naas Town.
• A number of tenants (hairdressers, beauticians, bookmakers,
bar/restaurant , leisure centre) within the portfolio have been impacted by
COVID 19 imposed restrictions which has resulted in reduced trading
capacity through the introduction of social distancing measures and
temporary closures. Until such time as a high percentage of the general
population has been vaccinated against COVID-19 some form of trading
restrictions are likely to be maintained and applied to varying degrees. Such
restrictions will continue to negatively impact on such business.
• The residential properties are situated in a Rent Pressure Zone therefore the
passing rent can only be increased by 4% year on year.

Summary of Loan Terms:


We have not been provided with loan details, but should they be provided we would
be happy to comment.

Lending Related Comments:


• Novel Coronavirus (COVID – 19)
At the valuation date, sections of the property market are mostly
functioning again, with transaction activity and other relevant evidence at
levels where an adequate quantum of market evidence exists upon which
to base opinions of value. COVID-19 and the restrictions imposed by Central
Government to combat infection rates among the population has and
continues to negatively impact day-to-day business activity. The retail ,
leisure and hospitality industry have been impacted to an unprecedented
degree. Trading businesses which are priced on their trading potential may
experience a greater impact on pricing in comparison to other asset classes.
Many markets including real estate are correlated with economic
performance, which increases the potential for error in predicting the future
value. While our valuation represents our opinion of value, as at the
valuation date, given the unknown future impact that COVID-19 might have
on the real estate market, valuations may need to be reviewed on a more
regular basis.
• Both the properties and business operating from the premises are well
established and serve the local community. The Monread Estate provides
over 3,000 houses, the population is estimated at c 10,000 people.

10
• The subject portfolio is multi-tenanted with an good mix of business uses,
which primarily serves the needs and wants of the local community, who
are within walking distance of the businesses. In our opinion the tenant
mix - uses (local uses and needs) helps to mitigate against vacancy risk /
rental void periods. ( a convenience store, butchers, pharmacy, doctor’s
surgery, dental practice, dry cleaners, coffee shop, hairdressers, beauticians
, bike store, takeaways, creche, local bar and restaurant, leisure centre
including a 25-meter pool) represent the day-to-day convenience uses most
frequently visited by local residents who will either walk due to their
proximity or drive and avail of the ample free parking.
• Both developments are pro-actively managed by the borrower. Both the
landlord’s insurances and service charges at a rate of €1 per sq.ft. pa are
separately invoiced through the borrower’s office. From our inspection of
the properties, we comment that the carparks are well laid out, clearly
marked and public lighting. The common areas were maintained to a high
standard and were clean and free of litter – graffiti.
• Both developments are fully occupied at inspection. From our enquiries with
local agents, we comment that good demand exists for rental
accommodation in the immediate area.
• A number of tenants (hairdressers, beauticians, bookmakers,
bar/restaurant and the leisure centre) have been impacted by COVID 19
imposed restrictions, which has seen reduced trading capacity as a result of
social distancing measures and temporary closures. Until such time as a high
percentage of the general population has been vaccinated against COVID-
19 it is likely that some form of trading restrictions will be maintained and
applied to varying degrees. Such restrictions will continue to negatively
impact on such business. We noted that the bar - restaurant was providing
a weekend order and collect food service during the current closure.
• The Borrower has advised that at the valuation date all rent has paid up to
date and that the properties had no past history of rent arrears or unit
vacancies; the rental statement applies to both the bar/restaurant and
leisure centre tenants.
• We are of the opinion and our valuation report has been prepared on the
basis that the value of the portfolio is maximised through valuing the
Monread Lodge Shopping Centre & Monread Lodge - Bar and Restaurant as
combined single lot, rather than two separate lots. Likewise, with the
Monread Commercial & Leisure Centre, the value we believe is maximised
as a single lot. It is on this basis that our valuation report is issued without
the inclusion of the Valuation Material Uncertainty clause as per VPS3 and
VPGA 10 of the RICS Red Book Global Standards 2020.
• We consider that the subject properties would provide a good proposition
in the current investment market for a proposed loan facility. We anticipate
that given the locations of both properties, the commercial nature and
mixed uses and services the business offer, combine to make an attractive
opportunity for Local or Private Investors seeking such an investment if
offered for sale in two separate lots.

11
Confirmation of Suitability for Lending Purposes:
In our opinion the subject portfolio provides a suitable proposition for debt security
in the current market, assuming a lender has satisfied themselves that the borrower,
debt structure, asset class, sector and exposure is acceptable and in line with their
business appetite and credit parameters.

SWOT Analysis: Strengths


• Naas has a population of c. 21,393 people (2016 census) making it the
second largest town in Co. Kildare after Newbridge.
• Naas has become a popular Dublin commuter town in recent years.
• The Sallins and Naas railway station, located in nearby Sallins, is now used
by many residents of Naas and the surrounding area for the daily commute
to Dublin, with travel times averaging around 30 minutes to Dublin's city
centre.
• The subject properties occupy a strategic location in Naas, situated within
an established residential area and benefitting from a lot of passing
traffic/footfall.
• The subject portfolio is multi-tenanted with an excellent tenant mix which
in turn will help mitigate vacancy risk / rental void periods.
• There is ample free parking within the complex and its location offers busy
buyers a very efficient one-stop retail location without the traffic congestion
and delays of the town centre.
• The subject portfolio/development appears to be pro-actively managed
with no vacancy.
• Strong demand for residential rental accommodation in the immediate
area.
• The subject portfolio is predominated by a mix of long-established local
business with the majority being of good covenant strength. The WAULT is
6.80 years to break/expiry for the commercial element of the subject
portfolio.

Weaknesses
• Although the subject development is conveniently located, it is situated on
the edge of Naas Town.
• The retail & leisure sector has been severely impacted by COVID-19
restrictions which has limited occupier demand for such accommodation.
• The subject development is anchored by Costcutters who have competition
from larger supermarkets such as Tesco, Lidl and Aldi, all of which are
located in Naas.
• The residential properties are situated in a Rent Pressure Zone therefore the
passing rent can only be increased by 4% year on year.

Opportunities
• Pro-active asset management opportunities such as regearing current
leases and improving the tenant mix/profile.

12
Threats
• Material valuation uncertainty, given the unknown future impact that
COVID-19 might have on the real estate market.
• Some of the subject occupiers heavily rely upon the trade of The Monread
Lodge. Given current government COVID-19 restrictions, pubs/restaurants
will remain one of the last sectors to fully re-open hence having a material
impact upon the trade of the surrounding occupiers particularly the
bookmakers and takeaways.

accordance with the agreed Terms of Engagement letter dated 13th January
2021.

Valuation Date: 5th February 2021.

Purpose of Valuation: This Red Book Valuation report is required for Secured Lending Purposes.

Security: We are of the opinion, subject to the contents of this report, that the subject
properties would provide suitable security for loan purposes.

We have provided comment on the loan terms where such information has
been provided. We have not however, been provided with details of the
length of the loan and the amount being lent.

15
Compliance with The Valuation has been prepared in accordance with the RICS Valuation -
Valuation Standards: Global Standards (‘Red Book Global’) (published January 2020). The
properties details on which the valuation is based are set out in this report.

We confirm that we have sufficient local and national knowledge of the


particular property market involved and have the skills and understanding to
undertake the valuation competently.

Special Assumptions: We have adapted the following special assumptions:


• Unit 5 Monread Lodge Shopping Centre (Paddy Power Bookmakers)
– That the tenant signs a new 5-year term certain lease agreement
at Market Rent (€23,750 p.a.) at the valuation date.
• Monread Leisure and Commercial Centre , Block 2 Unit 1 (An Post) –
That the outstanding 2018 rent review has been agreed at the
valuation date at €13.50 per sq.ft.

We have accepted that the above special assumptions are relevant, realistic
and valid in connection with the circumstances of this valuation.

Assumptions: We have made assumptions as to tenure, town planning, and the property
including ground and groundwater contamination.

If any of this information or assumptions on which the valuation is based are


subsequently found to be incorrect, the valuation figures may also be
incorrect and should be reconsidered.
Variation from Standard None.
Assumptions:

Market Conditions: The outbreak of COVID-19, declared by the World Health Organisation as a
“Global Pandemic” on the 11th March 2020, has and continues to impact
many aspects of daily life and the global economy – with some real estate
markets having experienced lower levels of transactional activity and
liquidity. Travel, movement and operational restrictions have been
implemented by many countries. In some cases, “lockdowns” have been
applied to varying degrees and to reflect further “waves” of COVID-19;
although these may imply a new stage of the crisis, they are not
unprecedented in the same way as the initial impact.

The pandemic and the measures taken to tackle COVID-19 continue to affect
economies and real estate markets globally. Nevertheless, as at the valuation
date property markets are mostly functioning again, with transaction volumes
and other relevant evidence at levels where an adequate quantum of market
evidence exists upon which to base opinions of value. Accordingly, and for the
avoidance of doubt, our valuation is not reported as being subject to ‘material
valuation uncertainty’ as defined by VPS 3 and VPGA 10 of the RICS Valuation
– Global Standards, except as identified below.

16
Verification: We recommend that before any financial transaction is entered into based
upon these valuations, you obtain verification of the information contained
within our report and the validity of the assumptions we have adopted.

We would advise that while we have valued the property reflecting current
market conditions, there are certain risks which may be, or may become,
uninsurable. Before undertaking any financial transaction based upon this
valuation, you should satisfy yourselves as to the current insurance cover and
the risks that may be involved should an uninsured loss occur.

Valuer and Capacity: This report was prepared by Mr Paul McElearney FRICS FSCSI FCI Arb, a RICS
Registered Valuer who has undertaken this valuation acting in an External
Capacity.

Conflicts of Interest: None.

We confirm that copies of our conflict check has been retained in the file.

Reliance: This report is for the use only of the party to whom it is addressed for the
specific purpose set out herein and no responsibility is accepted to any third
party for the whole or any part of its contents.

Publication: Neither the whole nor any part of our report nor any references thereto may
be included in any published document circular or statement nor published
in any form and context in which it will appear.

Such publication of or reference to this report will not be permitted unless it


contains a sufficient contemporaneous reference to any departure from the
RICS Valuation Professional Standards Global 2020 (Red Book) or the
incorporation of the special assumptions referred to herein.

17
Scope of Work and Sources of Information
Sources of Information: We have relied upon and carried out our work based upon information
supplied to us by Halkirk Properties Limited which we have assumed to be
correct and comprehensive. We have been provided with the following:

• A copy of the tenancy schedule.


• Copies of the lease agreements.
• Information on any COVID-19 related rent deferrals and rent
abatements.
• A copy of the Halkirk Properties Limited insurance premium split.
• A copy of the 2018 Lisney Valuation Report.

The Properties: Our report contains a brief summary of the subject properties details on
which our valuation have been based.

Inspection: The subject portfolio was inspected on 26th January 2021 by Paul McElearney
and Timothy Jordan of QRE. As a result of the outbreak of the Novel
Coronavirus (COVID-19), declared by the World Health Organisation as a
“Global Pandemic” on the 11th March 2020 and current government
restrictions, internal access to the subject properties was limited.

We gained internal access to the following properties:

• Units 1 & 2 Monread Lodge Shopping Centre (Costcutters).


• Unit 6 Monread Lodge Shopping Centre (Butchers).
• Monread Lodge (Bar & Restaurant).
• Block 1 Unit 1 (Gym/Leisure Centre).
• Block 2 Units 3 & 4 (Bikeology).

Areas: As agreed, given the number of tenants and current government restrictions,
we have not measured the subject properties but have relied upon the floor
areas provided by the Borrower. We have assumed that the floor areas
provided were measured in accordance with the RICS Code of Measuring
Practise.

On inspection, where possible, we took check measurements which we


compared to the measurements provided to us by the Borrower.

Environmental Matters: We have not undertaken, nor are we aware of the content of, any
environmental audit or other environmental investigation or soil survey
which may have been carried out on the Property and which may draw
attention to any contamination or the possibility of any such contamination.

We have not carried out any investigation into the past or present uses of the
Property, nor of any neighbouring land, in order to establish whether there is
any potential for contamination and have therefore assumed that none
exists.

18
State of Repair: QRE have not undertaken a structural survey nor tested any of the services.
We have not been supplied with a survey report prepared by any other firm.
We have undertaken only a limited inspection for valuation purposes.

We would comment that from our inspection of the property, it was in a good
state of repair commensurate with its age, construction type and current use.

Access, Services and Amenities: We understand that all main services including water, drainage, electricity
and telephone are available.

None of the services have been tested by us.

Town Planning: We have undertaken limited planning enquiries with Kildare County Council
the local planning authority.

Titles and Tenure: We have not examined nor had access to the title deeds, leases or other
documents relating thereto. Where information from deeds, leases or other
documents is recorded in this report, it represents our understanding of the
relevant documents.

We confirm that no matter has been brought to our attention which would
affect value.

We should emphasise, however, that the interpretation of the documents of


title (including relevant deeds, leases and planning consents) is the
responsibility of your legal adviser.

19
Valuation Assumptions
Capital Values: The Valuation has been prepared on the basis of “Market Value” which is
defined as:

“The estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the
valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length
transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had acted
knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.

The valuation has also been prepared on the basis of “Market Rent” which is
defined as;

“The estimated amount for which an interest in real property should be


leased on the valuation date between a willing lessor and a willing lessee on
appropriate lease terms in an arm’s length transaction, after proper
marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently
and without compulsion.”

No allowance has been made of any expense or realisation, or for taxation


(including VAT), which may arise in the event of a disposal and the property
has been considered free and clear of all mortgages or other charges with
may be secured thereon.

Environmental Matters: In the absence of any information to the contrary, we have assumed that:

The property is not contaminated and is not adversely affected by any existing
or proposed environmental law, or any processes which were previously
carried out on the property which are regulated by environmental legislation
were properly licensed by the appropriate authorities.

Access, Services and Amenities: We have assumed there is unrestricted access to the land, and that the land
is connected to, and has aright the right to use, the reported main services on
normal terms.

Condition: In the absence of any information to the contrary, we have assumed that:

There are no abnormal ground conditions, nor archaeological remains,


present which might adversely affect the current or future occupation,
development or value of the land.

Comments made in the land details do not purport to express an opinion


about, or advice upon, the condition of uninspected parts and should not be
taken as making an implied representation or statement about such parts.

We have not carried out site surveys, tested services, made independent site
investigations, nor arranged for any investigations to be carried out to

20
determine whether or not any deleterious or hazardous materials are
present, in any part of the land.

We are unable, therefore, to give any assurance that the land is free from
defect or contamination.

Title, Tenure, Planning : Unless stated otherwise within this report, and in the absence of any
information to the contrary, we have assumed that:

The land is held under freehold title and that the property is not subject to

Property Details
Location: The subject portfolio forms 2 separate developments, Monread Lodge/
Monread Lodge Shopping Centre and Monread Lodge Commercial & Leisure
Centre. Both developments are situated on the outer peripheral of Naas Town
Centre. Naas town has a population of 21,597 persons (Census of Population
2016). The town witnessed significant development during the early to mid-
2000s resulting in an increase in population that was substantially fed by the
Dublin commuter housing market. Public transport to Naas would be
regarded as reasonably good with numerous Bus Eireann bus routes allowing
easy access to Dublin City Centre from Naas Town Centre, and suburban rail
network from Sallins train station to the north.

The subject developments are both situated off the eastern side of Monread
Avenue, a short distance to the north-east of the centre of Naas town in a
predominantly residential location. The surrounding residential stock appears
to comprise predominantly houses dating from circa 1990s.

Both developments feature a large tarmacadam apron around each block


providing ample public car park facilities. There is a larger shopping centre to
the north of the immediate area, known as the Monread Centre, which is
anchored by a 10,802 sq.m. Tesco Extra together with additional occupiers
including Argos, Boots, and Costa Coffee. An Aldi supermarket also lies
adjacent to the Monread Centre.

In addition, other uses in the area include various manufacturers in IDA


Monread Industrial Estate and the Globe Retail Park, a large retail park
adjacent to the Maudlins M7 Interchange with prominent occupiers including
Woodies, Expert, Heatons, Smyths Toys, and Harry Corry.

Kildare County Council is the local authority.

Description: Monread Lodge Shopping Centre, Naas, Co. Kildare
The subject property comprises a detached two-storey neighbourhood
centre, which we are advised extends to approx. 915.27 sqm consisting of 6 x
retail units at ground floor level, 1 x first floor office unit (previously in
residential use); and 5 X 2-bed residential apartments overhead.

The entire block appears to be of traditional mixed masonry construction with


concrete block walls; a yellow/ red brick outer leaf with detailed
cornerstones; all under a pitched concrete tile roof for the most part together
with a small flat covered roof to the rear that also acts as balconies to the
overhead residential and office accommodation. Glazed frontage throughout
the retail units is provided predominately by means of a plate glass timber
display windows, double glazed timber frame windows to the front first floor
accommodation; and PVC coated aluminium frame double glazed windows to
the rear.

The retail units are currently occupied by Costcutters Convenience Store


(Units 1& 2); Buzz Dry Cleaners (unit 3); Macari’s Takeaway (Unit 4); Paddy
Power Bookmakers (unit 5); and Reilly Butchers (Unit 6). Each of the ground
floor retail units has been fitted out to the specification of each of the tenants.
Generally, the units have either tiled or laminate covered floors; plastered/
painted walls; and suspended acoustic tiled ceilings; with artificial
illumination provided by fluorescent box lights.

As a result of the outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19), declared by


the World Health Organisation as a “Global Pandemic” on the 11th March
2020 and current government restrictions, on inspection, we could only gain
internal access to Units 1 & 2 (Costcutters) and Unit 6 (Butchers). In the
absence of internal access to the remainder of the units, we have relied upon
information provided to us by the Borrower which we have assumed to be
correct and comprehensive for the purpose of this valuation.

The apartments are numbered 1a, 2a, 3a, 5a & 6a. The office is numbered as
unit 4a. We were not provided with access to any of the apartments/offices
therefore we have relied upon the information provided to us by the
Borrower. The information is as follows:

Apartment 6a consists of 2 bedrooms, living room, kitchen, hot press and a


small bathroom. In general, the apartment has laminate timber floors;
plastered/ painted walls and ceilings; with artificial illumination provided
suspended bulb lights. The bathroom has WC, WHB and a free-standing
shower with a Trident 390 shower unit. The kitchen features the usual range
of units with storage at ground and eye level and oven, hobs, tiled splash
back, stainless steel sink, fridge and extractor fan. All the apartments and
office unit share a broadly similar specification, size, layout and condition.

24
There are 30 x surface car parking spaces to the front and rear of Monread
Lodge Shopping Centre which are communal. The development shares two
vehicle access points off Monread Avenue with the adjacent Monread Lodge
Public House. The space to the rear of the development enables delivery drop
off for the ground floor retail units.

Monread Lodge (Public House & Restaurant), Naas Co. Kildare


The subject property comprises a standalone two storey, mixed use building
providing ground floor public house & restaurant accommodation, part first
floor office self-contained office/storage space to the front elevation and a
residential apt at first floor rear elevation level. The subject property extends
to approximately 575.99 sq.m. (6,200 sq.ft.).

The entire block appears to be of traditional mixed masonry construction with


concrete block walls; a red brick outer leaf with detailed cornerstones; all
under a pitched concrete tile roof. The ground floor benefits from 2
pedestrian entrances and rear staff/delivery access. A small external seating
area is situated at the front of the Monread Lodge currently covered in a
canopy.

On inspection, access was provided to the public house/restaurant only. The


aforementioned accommodation comprises a main open plan lounge area
with a mixture of high- and low-level seating, a separate “snug bar”, ladies
and gents W/Cs, fully fitted kitchen/preparation area with cold room and
access to the basement cellar/keg room. The subject accommodation
provides seating for circa 100+ patrons at any one time. From our inspection
we would comment that the accommodation presented in good condition
and we have been advised by the Borrower that the tenant spent circa €800k
fitting out the accommodation. We have also been advised that a verbal
agreement for the tenant (RHK Bars) to occupy the first floor as ancillary
office/function room accommodation is in place at €10,000 p.a. A lease
commencement date has not yet been agreed. The first-floor benefits from
independent access.

The first-floor residential apartment extends to approx. 111.48 sq.m. (1,200


sq.ft.). As access was not possible at the time of inspection, we have assumed
that the subject accommodation is in good internal condition throughout with
no capital expenditure requirements and that it has a broadly similar
specification to the residential units above Monread Lodge Shopping Centre.

Externally, the subject property benefits from 32 surface car parking spaces
surrounding the building and features a 360-degree vehicle circulation area
which is ideal for deliveries.

25
Monread Leisure and Commercial Centre
The subject development comprises a substantial commercial scheme, which
appears to date from the 2000’s and consists of a development totalling
approx. 6,145 Sq.m. on a large site which extends to approximately 3.2 acres

throughout predominately consisting of double glaze timber framed
windows, all under predominately pitched and hipped slate tiled roofs with a
small section of flat roof covering part of the gym.

A portion of the first floor of Block 4 features sand/ cement render rather

Block 2 :- Comprises a part single and part 2 storey building providing for 1

ancillary rooms and WC facilities. The remaining 3 retail units at ground floor
are occupied by Bikeology, Great Wok Chinese take away, and Tir Na Óg
crèche, which also occupies the entirety of block 3. The first-floor offices ,
which are currently occupied by An Post provides basic modern office
accommodation and is mainly open plan in layout with the exception of some

throughout to provide for various classrooms, staff facilities, WC facilities,
sleep rooms and changing rooms.

Valuation Considerations
Market Conditions: The outbreak of COVID-19, declared by the World Health Organisation as a
“Global Pandemic” on the 11th March 2020, has and continues to impact
many aspects of daily life and the global economy – with some real estate
markets having experienced lower levels of transactional activity and liquidity.
Travel, movement and operational restrictions have been implemented by
many countries. In some cases, “lockdowns” have been applied to varying
degrees and to reflect further “waves” of COVID-19; although these may imply
a new stage of the crisis, they are not unprecedented in the same way as the
initial impact.

The pandemic and the measures taken to tackle COVID-19 continue to affect
economies and real estate markets globally. Nevertheless, as at the valuation
date property markets are mostly functioning again, with transaction volumes
and other relevant evidence at levels where an adequate quantum of market
evidence exists upon which to base opinions of value. Accordingly, and for the
avoidance of doubt, our valuation is not reported as being subject to ‘material
valuation uncertainty’ as defined by VPS 3 and VPGA 10 of the RICS Valuation
– Global Standards, except as identified below.

Valuation Considerations: We have had regard to the following in forming our opinion of value:
• The subject properties occupy a strategic location in Naas, situated
within an established residential area and benefitting from a lot of
passing traffic/footfall.
• The subject portfolio is multi-tenanted with an excellent tenant mix
which in turn will help mitigate vacancy risk / rental void periods.
• There is ample free parking within the complex and its location offers
busy buyers a very efficient one-stop retail location without the traffic
congestion and delays of the town centre.
• The subject portfolio/development appears to be pro-actively
managed with minimal vacancy.
• Strong demand for residential rental accommodation in the
immediate area.
• The subject portfolio comprises a mix of national and local occupiers
with the majority being of good covenant strength. The WAULT is 6.80
years to break/expiry for the commercial element of the subject
portfolio.
• The subject portfolio has seen minimal voids periods since initially
developed.
• On inspection, it was apparent that the subject portfolio appeared to
be pro-actively managed with no immediate capital expenditure
required.
• The retail & leisure sector has been severely impacted by COVID-19
restrictions which has limited occupier demand for such
accommodation.

57
• Some of the subject occupiers heavily rely upon the trade of The
Monread Lodge. Given current government COVID-19 restrictions,
pubs/restaurants will remain one of the last sectors to fully re-open
hence having a material impact upon the trade of the surrounding
occupiers particularly the bookmakers and takeaways.
• Volatile nature of the retail market.
• While the comparable evidence outlined in this report is reflective of
similar use properties, the subject portfolio is a unique case being
situated with an established residential catchment benefitting from a
lot of passing traffic/footfall.
• The residential properties are situated in a Rent Pressure Zone
therefore can only be increased by 4% year on year.
• A number of existing occupiers has been in long-term occupation and
we have been advised they have no intensions of vacating in the
immediate – near future on expiry of their lease.

Income Summary and Analysis of The subject portfolio is currently fully let with tenants comprising national
Passing Rent: retailers and local occupiers, the majority of which are of good covenant
strength. The average weighted unexpired term to the earliest termination is
6.80 years for the commercial element and as such we are of the opinion the
subject portfolio benefits from a reasonable letting profile.

The residential properties are currently fully occupied under standard


residential rolling tenancy agreements with the majority of tenants being in
long term occupation.

The subject portfolio is currently producing a passing rent of €1,010,866 p.a.


exclusive of VAT. A breakdown of the passing rent is outlined in the table
below. We have been advised that while some tenants benefitted from a
COVID-19 rent deferral, all passing rent is currently up to date at the valuation
date.

We believe the property investment market would view the tenant’s company
as providing fair security.

The below tenants are registered as businesses therefore are not required to
file financial information. Therefore, for the purpose of this valuation, we have
assumed the tenant’s businesses are of fair covenant strength.

• Serenity Hair Salon.


• Studio3.
• Dr Phillip Aherne & Jennifer Aherne.

The residential properties are let to a range of private tenants therefore we


cannot comment on their covenant strength.

65
Void Periods and Re-Lettability: Having spoken with local agents and having regard to void history of the
subject portfolio we have determined there is strong demand for both the
commercial element of the subject portfolio. The subject properties occupy a
strategic location in Naas, situated within an established residential area and
benefitting from a lot of passing traffic/footfall. The subject portfolio is
currently multi-tenants with an excellent tenant mix which will help mitigate
vacancy risk/rental void periods. The portfolio is pro-actively managed and
currently 100% occupied. There is ample free parking within the complex and
its location offers busy buyers a very efficient one-stop retail location without
the traffic congestion and delays of the town centre.

Considering the above, we believe a 3-month void period would be required


to facilitate a new 5-year term certain lease agreement should the subject
units become vacant. This void period is to include a marketing period and
potential rent-free tenant incentive.

In regard to the residential element of the subject portfolio, we have


ascertained that there is also strong demand for same. Monread is an
established residential area benefiting from a range of amenities and a
popular Dublin commuter area.

Considering the above, we believe a 1-month void period would be required


to facilitate a new 1-year standard residential tenancy agreement should one
of the apartments become vacant.

Marketability and Potential If the subject portfolio were offered to the property investment market for
Purchasers: sale, we are of the opinion that there would be good levels of demand from
private, family office investors with a view of holding the subject portfolio as
an investment and pro-actively asset managing the portfolio.

The subject portfolio benefits from a WAULT to earliest expiry of 6.80 years
on the commercial element and has benefits from minimal rental void history.
As such, we envisage a sale of the subject portfolio to happen within 9-12
months of being offered to the open market for sale.

66
Valuation Methodology – In arriving at our opinion of Market Rent, we have had regard to the
Market Rent: comparable rental evidence outlined in this report and our discussions with
local agents in the area.

While the majority of comparable rental evidence outlined in this report are
situated in the surrounding area of Naas/Newbridge, they are not reflective
of this strategic location, situated within an established residential area and
benefitting from a lot of passing traffic/footfall.

The subject portfolio has seen minimal rental voids since it was first
constructed which can be reflective of the pro-active asset management. The
subject portfolio is currently 100% occupied comprises a mix of national and
local occupiers with an excellent tenant mix. From discussions with local
agents in the area, if any of the subject units were to become vacant, there
would be good levels of demand for same.

We have established the following Market Rents (outlined in the table below).

Please note the following valuation assumptions:
• Unit 5 Monread Lodge Shopping Centre (Paddy Power Bookmakers)
– the tenant is currently overholding and paying above our opinion
of Market Rent. For the purpose of this valuation, we have made the
special assumption that the tenant signs a new 5-year term certain
lease agreement at Market Rent (€23,750 p.a.) at the valuation date.
• The Monread Lodge (Public House) - this asset class have been
severely impacted by COVID-19 restrictions. We have adapted a
cautious approach over the uncertainty COVID 19 may have in the
future. We have assumed that a phased reopening of this sector will
happen during H2 of 2021 and have factored in a tenant rent free
period of 6 months from the valuation date. It has been verbally
agreed between the Tenant and Landlord that the tenant will occupy
the space above the public house for office/storage space at €10,000
p.a. On expiry of the tenant rent-free period, we have assumed that
the tenant will commence occupation the aforementioned space.
• Block 1 Unit 1 Monread Leisure and Commercial Centre (Gym/Leisure
Centre)- this asset class have been severely impacted by COVID-19
restrictions. We have adapted a cautious approach over the
uncertainty COVID 19 may have in the future. We have assumed that
a phased reopening of this sector will happen during the latter part
of H1 of 2021.We have adapted a cautious approaching factoring in a
tenant rent free period of 4.5 months from the valuation date.
• Block 2 Unit 1 (An Post) – There is an outstanding rent review in 2018
which have been advised notice has been served upon the tenant at
€16 per sq.ft. It is our opinion that the Market Rent of the subject
property is €13.50 per sq.ft. which is an uplift on the current passing
rent. As the agreed rent at review can be back dated, for the purpose
of this valuation, we have made the special assumption that the rent
review has been agreed at the valuation date at €13.50 per sq.ft.

After deducting standard purchasers’ costs, we have established the


following rounded opinion of Market Value.
