West Albury medical centre sells at auction for $4.185 million

The property located closeby the Albury-Wodonga Private Hospital, Albury Day Surgery and Dorevitch Pathology was offered for sale as part of the latest investment portfolio auction conducted by agents Burgess Rawson n Melbourne.

L.J. Colquhoun Dixon was appointed as a conjunctional agent in the sale of the property sold to a Melbourne-based investor in a deal reflecting a yield of about 4.6 per cent.

The property was owned by Albury-based cardiologist Jan du Plooy, who has entered into a long-term leaseback five-year deal to 2026 with two further five year options.

The estimated net rental return is more than $190,000 per annum.

"It was a result certainly above expectations," L.J. Colquhoun Dixon director Andrew Dixon said.

"But there was competitive bidding for the property.

"There were a couple of interested locals, but there were also bidders from Melbourne and Sydney.

"It again shows how strong the commercial investment market is.

"Buyers from Melbourne and Sydney are continuing to want to buy into major regional centres like Albury-Wodonga which has been the case ever since COVID started."
