A client of ours, Navigator Securities identified the Bloomsbury / Kings Cross area as a location in which they wanted to invest. We initiated a search on their behalf, knocking on doors and doing land registry searches as a way of unearthing opportunities. This building was the London headquarters of Ashgate Publishing, although it was too big for their needs. As a result of our efforts Navigator bought the building off market. The property was approximately 4,200 sq ft of Grade 2 listed Georgian grandeur on what must be one of the finest squares in London. Navigator obtained planning permission to change the use to a single house, and had planned to convert the property, however it was sold to a residential owner occupier who made an offer our client could not refuse.
