Freehold acquisitionWest Lodge Park Hotel, Hadley Wood
Strategic acquisition advice - 59 luxury bedrooms set in 35 acres
West Lodge Park Hotel,
Hadley Wood, BARNET EN4 0PY
West Lodge Park has a priviledged location, just east of the Cockfosters Road in Hadley Wood, Hertfordshire.
It offers very easy access from Junction 24 of the M25 and is a short drive from North London.
Acting jointly with Edwards Symmonds & Partners, Gilmartin Ley advised Beales Hotels Ltd on strategy and tactics for acquiring the freehold interest in West Lodge Park, the finest country house hotel in Hertfordshire.
The main hotel buildings comprise 59 luxury bedrooms and the property itself comprises 35 acres.
Our client bought the lease in the hotel in 1945 and it was due to expire in 2068 - the acquisition of the freehold interest in May 2012 from London Borough of Enfield enables Beales Ltd to protect and enhance the value of the business by enabling significant capital investment to be made.
Beales Hotels Ltd is a family business, currently in its eighth generation. Their motto is "Generations of Excellence since 1769" - having used West Lodge Park on many occasions both in personal capacities and as a company we can vouch for that.
This is what Beales Hotels Ltd have to say about us: "Mike Gilmartin is a well reputed local Chartered Surveyor who also happens to be the son in law of one of our shareholders ! A wealth of knowledge in the commercial property market."
