Exeter Build-to-Rent for Sale

Paternoster House and Concord House present a rare opportunity to acquire two award-winning, fully refurbished and fully income-producing freehold assets in the heart of Exeter. Both properties have been converted to a high standard, with the works completed in 2025, creating a turn-key residential and commercial investment with no immediate capital expenditure required. The portfolio comprises 57 fully furnished apartments, providing a total of 98 bedrooms, alongside approximately 17,000 sq ft of commercial accommodation. Both buildings are 100% occupied and benefit from a prime city-centre position, close to Exeter High Street, Exeter Cathedral, Princesshay Shopping Centre, Guildhall Shopping Centre, Exeter Central Station, the University of Exeter and the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital. Paternoster House, located on North Street, Exeter, EX4 3FR, comprises 29 apartments arranged as 5 one-bedroom, 22 two-bedroom, 1 three-bedroom and 1 four-bedroom flats. The residential accommodation extends to approximately 22,000 sq ft, with an additional 8,976 sq ft of commercial space. The property is fully furnished throughout and includes open-plan layouts, designer kitchens and bathrooms, double glazing, integrated LED lighting, an entryphone system, DDA accessibility and a passenger lift. Commercial occupiers include Søstrene Grene and Vyve Pilates, providing strong income diversification. Paternoster House is offered in excess of £13,500,000 and produces a total passing rent of £956,180 per annum, comprising £776,180 residential income and £180,000 commercial income. This reflects a gross ROI of 7.08%. The property has also been valued at £15.468m, with the residential element valued at £13.618m and the commercial element at £1.85m. Forward-looking rental analysis indicates that Paternoster House offers defensive, scale income with meaningful rental growth potential. Over a three-year period, projected blended rental income is £2.86m at the 5th percentile, £2.97m at the median and £3.05m at the 95th percentile. By year three, the blended yield is projected at 6.31% at the 5th percentile, 6.63% at the median and 6.91% at the 95th percentile, with potential upside to 7.24% under maximum growth assumptions. The fixed commercial income of £180,000 per annum provides an additional layer of security. Concord House, located on South Street, Exeter, EX1 1EG, comprises 28 apartments arranged as 14 one-bedroom and 14 two-bedroom flats. The residential accommodation extends to approximately 21,000 sq ft, with approximately 8,000 sq ft of commercial space. As with Paternoster House, the building is fully furnished and benefits from designer kitchens and bathrooms, double glazing, integrated LED lighting, entryphone system, DDA accessibility, a passenger lift and turn-key accommodation. Commercial occupiers include Kaspas and Vyve Gym. Concord House is offered in excess of £7,000,000 and produces a total passing rent of £577,800 per annum, comprising £501,800 residential income and £76,000 commercial income. This reflects a gross ROI of 8.25%. The property has been valued at £7.6615m, with the residential element valued at £7.0015m and the commercial element at £660,000. The forward rental projections for Concord House demonstrate a compelling income profile. Over three years, projected blended rental income is £1.56m at the 5th percentile, £1.62m at the median and £1.67m at the 95th percentile. By year three, blended yield is projected at 6.98% at the 5th percentile, 7.34% at the median and 7.65% at the 95th percentile, with potential upside to 8.21% under maximum growth assumptions. The fixed commercial rent of £76,000 per annum helps protect the downside and supports stable cashflow. Together, the properties offer investors a substantial Exeter city-centre residential and commercial portfolio with strong occupational demand, modern specification, full occupancy and attractive income returns. The combination of newly completed conversion works, fully furnished apartments, diversified commercial income, prime locations and no immediate capital expenditure requirement makes this a particularly compelling investment opportunity. Both Paternoster House and Concord House are held under separate SPVs and are available individually or as part of a wider investment opportunity. The commercial elements only are understood to be elected for VAT. Exeter continues to experience strong rental demand, underpinned by its university population, employment base and constrained city-centre housing supply. Ongoing concerns around the availability, quality and affordability of purpose-built student accommodation have placed additional pressure on the wider private rental sector, particularly for well-located, professionally managed and fully furnished homes. Paternoster House and Concord House are well positioned to benefit from this structural imbalance, offering high-quality accommodation close to the University of Exeter, city-centre amenities, transport links and major employers. Further information, full tenancy schedules and viewings are available on request.

How much does retail property cost in Devon?
The average asking price is approximately £162 per sq ft, with prices ranging from £23 to £841 per sq ft. Values are influenced by factors such as location, footfall, tenant strength, lease terms and the overall condition of the property.

What risks should I consider before buying?
Potential risks include tenant vacancy, changing consumer behaviour, local competition, economic conditions and shifts in retail demand. Understanding the strength of the location and the sustainability of rental income is an important part of any acquisition decision.
How does lease length affect investment performance?
Longer leases can provide greater income certainty, while shorter leases may offer opportunities for rent growth or repositioning. Investors should review rent review provisions, break clauses and tenant obligations when assessing an asset.
What types of tenants occupy retail property?
Retail occupiers can include national retailers, convenience stores, restaurants, cafés, health and beauty businesses, service providers and independent operators. The mix of tenants can influence both investment performance and future demand.
Can a retail property be used for other purposes?
Many retail premises fall within Use Class E, which may allow a degree of flexibility between retail, office, hospitality, health and other commercial uses. However, any proposed change of use should be confirmed with the local planning authority.
What due diligence should I carry out before buying?
Buyers should review leases, tenant covenant strength, service charge arrangements, planning permissions, title documents, environmental matters and building condition reports. Professional legal and surveying advice is strongly recommended before completing a purchase.
What additional costs should I budget for?
In addition to the purchase price, buyers should budget for Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT), legal fees, surveys, finance costs, insurance and any refurbishment or maintenance works that may be required.
