Hurtwood Capital makes first purchase in Winchester

Family-owned investment company Hurtwood Capital has made its first acquisition in Winchester through the purchase of a prominent Winchester building.

The Grade II Listed property, at 17 The Square, occupies a prominent corner position on a pedestrian thoroughfare and is fully let to Pavers Limited, trading as Jones The Bootmaker, on a lease expiring in February 2028.

The sale was managed by Primmer Olds B.A.S on behalf of an unnamed pension fund client with the transaction completing in six weeks.

Hurtwood Capital has holdings across the South East and South West of England and is also the owner of The Business Magazine.

Primmer Olds B.A.S agent Oliver Noble said: "It was great to be involved in the transaction of a landmark building in central Winchester, growing our presence in the city.

"It goes to show with a motivated seller and purchaser and good lawyers, transactions can move quickly to everyone’s benefit. We look forward to continuing to grow our presence in Winchester and the South Coast as the go to agent for property investment transactions."

Frettens advised Hurtwood Capital and Ashfords advised the seller.
