OFFICES used as part of Harrow’s police headquarters are to be put up for sale at auction.
The four-storey Chartergate House and Northgate House provide accommodation for officers and backroom staff from connecting South Harrow Police Station in Northolt Road, South Harrow, and come with a gated 42-space car park.
They are leased to the Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime (MOPAC), the successor of the Metropolitan Police Authority, for a combined £193,470 a year.
A spokeswoman for the MOPAC said: “This sale has nothing to do with us. The sale is by the freeholder of the buildings.
“Nothing is changing. It has no effect on the police station and we’ll continue to rent this building.”
Chartergate House is on a ‘holding over’ period where occupancy continues on the same terms after the original 10-year lease expired in 2012, and Northgate House’s 15-year lease runs out in 2016.
Together the freeholds of the two office buildings form the 15th lot at an Allsop property auction being held in central London on March 19 and are advertised as “an asset management opportunity or may suit [an] owner-occupier” with a guide price of £650,000.
