Retail Leisure Office Industrial Property Management Education Land Investment Compulsory PurchaseFHP Property Consultants are delighted to be working with MAP Property Investments Ltd on a number of industrial estates across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire that they have recently purchased. MAP have bought over 100,000ft² of industrial/warehouse space on separate multi-let estates, with most units being sub-5,000ft².
FHP have been instructed as sole agents on three separate sites that MAP have acquired. Milnhay Industrial Park offers 32 newly refurbished industrial/warehouse units and hardstanding storage land. We are pleased to announce that FHP has found the first tenant for this site who occupy 1,456ft². In more recent news, we have placed another unit of 1,690ft² under offer to a regional occupier.
Following a successful initial marketing period at Milnhay Industrial Park, FHP were asked to market two units at Shirebrook Small Business Centre, Shirebrook, Nottinghamshire, NG20 8SP. Within two weeks of marketing the property, FHP placed both units under offer, demonstrating the demand for units under 1,000ft². More recently, MAP Property Investments instructed FHP onto their newly acquired scheme at Bridgefield Industrial Estate in Breaston. There was one vacant unit comprising 2,279ft² that FHP marketed for two weeks before placing it under offer.
The small industrial sector sub-5,000ft² has remained popular despite the economic and political factors that are affecting the UK. FHP has seen a positive uptake of units within this sector. Over the past six months, the general market sentiment has been turbulent, but pleasingly, we have seen an increased number of enquiries coming through. This has led to significantly more viewings and therefore more properties being placed under offer. There is also a shortage of availability within close proximity to Junctions 25 and 26 of the M1 Motorway. This is because there is not much being built due to the lack of available land and the current build costs.
Harry Gamble of FHP Property Consultants comments:
“MAP Property Investments has recently acquired a number of sites throughout the East Midlands, and it goes without saying, FHP are delighted to have been instructed as sole agents on the various estates. Across Derbyshire, take-up on smaller industrial schemes has continued to be strong despite the political and economic pressures that the UK is currently facing. There is a shortage of good-quality units within the region, so I am grateful that MAP are providing various options.
It’s been great to work on these estates and agree on the recent lettings with the tenants. Particularly, Shirebrook Small Business Centre, which showed great demand with both properties being placed under offer within two weeks of marketing.”
Shajid Latif of MAP Property Investments comments:
“We are actively buying multi-let industrial estates across the East Midlands and investing in the sites. We purchased Milnhay Industrial Park in 2023 and have spent two years refurbishing it to offer high-quality space. It is great to see that we are now starting to welcome tenants onto the site. Recently, we have acquired Shirebrook Small Business Centre and Bridgefield Industrial Estate and look forward to working with FHP, who are marketing these on our behalf.”
