We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Description Siddall Jones are pleased to present to the market this rare freehold ground rent investment interest at Holloway Head, Birmingham — a long dated, RPI-linked income stream secured against a prime city centre development site in one of the UK's most active regeneration corridors.
The investment produces an immediate net initial yield of 4.38% with compelling reversionary potential at the first rent review in August 2028, when the income is anticipated to rise materially in line with cumulative RPI growth since lease commencement in 2018.
The lease runs for 150 years from 31 August 2018, providing an unexpired term of approximately 142 years.
Rent reviews are upward-only, RPI indexed every ten years — the hallmark characteristics of an index-linked institutional investment. This type of opportunity is rarely available in the open market.
The permitted development scheme provides for up to 487 residential units, with the tenant covenanted to complete the scheme within the agreed development period.
Additional income protections include a penalty rent uplift of £150,000 per annum if development is not completed on time, and an escalator of £300 per annum per unit constructed above 487.
Location The property is situated at Holloway Head, in the heart of Birmingham city centre, at the southern fringe of the Westside district — one of the most significantly transformed areas of the second city.
The site sits within a short walk of Brindleyplace, the Utilita Arena, Broad Street and the Southside district.
Birmingham is the UK's second city with a population approaching 1.1 million in the city proper and a wider metropolitan area of circa 4 million people.
The city has benefited from sustained investment in infrastructure including HS2 (Curzon Street station), the Smithfield regeneration and continued transformation of the city centre residential offer.
Holloway Head is an established residential and mixed-use location within the city's core regeneration corridor. The site extends to approximately 2,401 sq m (2,872 sq yds).
