An investor is considering purchasing an office block.

Rental income will be received continuously for 40 years starting at £80,000 per annum. Rents are increased every 4 years at a rate of 3% per annum compound, with the first increase taking place 4 years after purchase.

The investor estimates that £300,000 will need to be spent to refurbish the building 9 months after the purchase date.

The shops are also expected to require regular refurbishment every 4 years for 36 years, with the first such refurbishment taking place at time t = 4 years at an initial cost of £20,000. These regular refurbishment costs are also expected to increase by 3% per annum compound.
