A fully leased childcare centre at Mornington has sold for $1,365,000 on a 4.2 percent yield.
It sold for $165,000 above reserve at its recent auction through Teska Carson agents George Takis and Fergus Evans.
The property attracted a high level of interest from local, interstate and off-shore interests with three bidders driving the auction, according to Takis and Evans.
"The property ticked all the boxes for astute investors in a red hot market for childcare centres nationally and so the result was not a huge surprise," Takis said
"Childcare is one of Australia’s strongest growth industries and, with forecasts that it will continue apace, property sales will continue to record strong results."
Takis said the entry-level investment, offered a secure lease profile in a government backed industry in an excellent location and with the potential for future development.
The property at 18-20 Fleet Street comprises a 400 sqm building on a 1200 sqm site.
It was sold subject to a five year lease at a current net annual rental of $58,000 with four percent annual increases.
