Acting on behalf of a private investor, Holloway Iliffe & Mitchell has sold 6 Rotherbrook Court, Petersfield to local financial services specialist Robison & Co Ltd, which has relocated its business from Midhurst as it continues to expand its client offering.

Petersfield is a growing town with a well-established business and consumer community, close to both the A3 and mainline rail connections. 6 Rotherbrook Court is located on Bedford Road, making it a perfect choice for Robison who acquired the freehold 3,000 sq ft offices as part of its SIPP on a 9.5% gross yield.

Established in 1982, Robison specialises in advising on and providing insurance services for businesses and individuals as well as being an independent financial adviser. Having spent 13 years based in Midhurst, Managing Director Simon Gubbins felt that a move to a larger premises was the right decision for the business as a whole. He comments: “With many of our clients and staff based either in or close to Petersfield, relocating here was an easy decision to take. We are delighted that we are now very much part of the community in which both live and work, even in just the few weeks we have been in Rotherbrook Court.

Stuart Mitchell, Holloway Iliffe and Mitchell Director who advised on the transaction added: “Rotherbrook Court is proving popular for businesses looking for well-located premises and good transport links. We have seen a number of offices let there this year, including Handelsbanken that has taken a lease on the ground floor of number 6.”
