Director in the UK Investment team at Savills Cardiff, Ross Griffin, said: “We had significant demand for Briscombe Retail Park as the property came with long income in excess of 10 years and had excellent road frontage with value-add opportunities.

“The demand for longer income let assets remains particularly buoyant.”

Property consultants, Powell Lloyd, acted for the buyer.
