Estée Coulthard-Boardman of FHP Property Consultants is pleased to announce the letting of Block 13 Unit 4 Amber Business Centre in Riddings to Closed View Security Limited on behalf of our client Mileway.

Amber Business Centre is a popular and well-established distribution and manufacturing estate located in Riddings, Derbyshire. The property comprises 611ft² of clear span warehouse accommodation with generous parking and loading area within a secure and managed site.

Estée Coulthard-Boardman of FHP Property Consultants comments:

“As soon as I put this property on the market I received a flurry of calls, and within just a few hours I had five viewings booked in for the following week. I received offers from all five parties prompting the invitation of best offers, and as a result, the rental value obtained was £2.50 per ft² higher than when FHP let this unit back in 2018. I am delighted to have achieved this great result for my client. 

I have also recently put Block 17 Unit 2 Amber Business Centre on the market and a very similar series of events has occurred.  Within a matter of days, this property went under offer at a figure higher than the asking price.

The amount of interest these small industrial/warehouse units at Amber Business Centre generates is outstanding, I take enquiries daily from parties expressing what a perfect fit these units would be for their business. The demand for small units like these continues to rise and unfortunately the supply just can’t seem to keep up.”

If you would like to find out more information on this deal or discuss disposing of your industrial/warehouse premises, then please contact either Estée Coulthard-Boardman on 01332 224 853 / estee@fhp.co.uk

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP Property Consultants is pleased to announce an excellent industrial letting at 17A Catton Road in Arnold to Aristeia Group Limited on behalf of our client Nigel Rhodes of D.L. Rhodes & Son Limited.

As soon as the marketing was launched the interest flooded in with ten viewings conducted and numerous offers received.  After conducting the necessary due diligence on each party and getting in their final offers, we narrowed this down and I am delighted that in the end we went with Aristeia Group Limited.  This company consists of two ambitious, young, hungry entrepreneurs which showed throughout our meetings and the presentation of offers made.

The unit comprised a simple industrial/warehouse unit within a shared, secure gated yard measuring 1,273ft².

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP Property Consultants commented:

“A great result was achieved and as always a pleasure to work with Nigel Rhodes whose proactiveness and willingness to conduct full refurbishments makes the whole process work seamlessly.  The amount of interest this small unit generated was incredible and demonstrates how well the market in Arnold is performing and moving on.  Due to this we urge any potential owners within Arnold, Daybook and Nottingham to please contact FHP as we had a number of parties miss out on this opportunity and they remain active in the market.” 

Nigel Rhodes of D.L. Rhodes & Sons, the landlord commented:

“Anthony is the best agent I have worked with in a while, he is hungry, young and full of energy which is exactly what I am after from my agents.  Not only does he know how to bring forward interest he knows how to broker deals.  I can’t praise him enough on his performance on my two units in Arnold and his constant success at Quayside Court in Colwick” 

Abriz Akbar of Aristeia Group Limited, the new tenant commented:

“Anthony was fantastic to work with as well as being true to his words with respect to terms and expectations.”

For further information on this transaction or to see how FHP can help you with any commercial property matter, please contact Anthony Barrowcliffe on 0115 9507577 / anthony@fhp.co.uk.

Once again Tim at FHP delivered a deal which at times looked impossible. Pragmatic and to the point, I trust his judgement and market knowledge.  I cannot fault the level of commitment and support that we have had from the team at FHP over the last year which is why, with another big deal planned for 2021, we continue to work with them.

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP Property Consultants is pleased to announce another off-market deal.  FHP represented DSK (Nottingham) Limited on the successful letting of Unit I2, Southglade Business Park to Gunite (Eastern) Limited.

Unit I2 is located to the front of the established Southglade Business Park and consisted of 1,202ft² of industrial space with a first floor office and excellent car parking facilities.  The building was built in the 1990s and has everything required for a B1, B2 or B8 occupier.

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP Property Consultants commented:

“I am always pleased to do a deal off-market and as soon as I met with DSK (Nottingham) Limited at the unit to inspect/pitch for the job I had several parties in mind.  Due to having an incredible database of enquiries and regularly reviewing and engaging with live interest I was able to let this unit without erecting a board or conducting any marketing at all.  Gunite were viewing lots of properties and were eager to find a building so I am pleased I could put this together with all parties tremendously happy. 

Due to such strong demand I have managed to put three off-market deals together this year alone so we urge properties owners in Bulwell, Bestwood, Basford, Nuthall and Nottingham to contact FHP as we have the requirements.”

Acting on behalf of Pentaxia Limited, Estée Coulthard-Boardman of FHP Property Consultants is delighted to confirm the successful letting of 31 – 33 Longbridge Lane, Ascot Drive, Derby, to N & A Logistics Limited.

The property is situated within the established Osmaston Park Industrial Estate on the east side of the city, a well located and popular trading estate.  Constructed by Conder Developments in 2007, the premises comprise two high specification adjoining units totalling 5,000ft² and include generous parking and gated yard area.

Stephen Ollier, Managing Director of Pentaxia Limited commented:

“The two units have been used as our Research and Development Centre for the last few years.  The pioneering work in developing advanced composite manufacturing techniques has now been moved to our production facility in Alfreton Road.  FHP have done an excellent job on finding new tenants for the property and we wish the new occupants N & A Logistics every success in the future.”

Michael Nwachukwu of N & A Logistics commented:

“Estée found the perfect warehouse for my business.  She is a calm and articulated professional.  Thank you!”

Estée Coulthard-Boardman of FHP Property Consultants commented:

“I am so pleased to have let this unit on behalf of Pentaxia, it was a great result for all parties involved.  N & A Logistics viewed another property with me initially, but after thoroughly discussing through their business needs, I knew 31 – 33 Longbridge Lane would be a better fit.  N & A Logistics are a prime example of the current surge in demand that the industrial sector is witnessing from Post & Parcel operators.  They were in desperate need of bigger space due to the ongoing growth of their business, and I am delighted all parties managed to turn this deal around quickly for them.  I wish N & A Logistics the best of luck in the future.”

Throughout the sale Anthony was very professional and supportive.  He always kept us up to date with where we were and I would give him a 5 star rating!

Junction 26 of the M1 motorway has always been a hot spot for enquiries, estates around this area with access to the region’s main distribution network have always been favoured, and it’s great therefore that we have a new instruction to bring on just under 9,000ft² of space on Blenheim Park, within minutes of the motorway.

To be marketed by Tim Gilbertson and Chris Proctor, a new lease is available on the building which offers really good quality space at just under 9,000ft² which will be refurbished in the next few weeks with the imminent departure of the current occupier.

With the benefit of extensive allocated parking, the building offers simple straightforward production or storage space, and it’s hoped interest will be generated quickly in a market that still remains very short of stock.

Tim Gilbertson of FHP Property Consultants commented:-

“I let this building originally 10 years ago which proves two things.  Yes, I’m a lot older than I look and secondly this is a cracking location as the current occupier has had 10 years of good use out of the building.  Our landlord clients are going to refurbish and make the building look pristine, it’s immediately available to view and I suspect it won’t hang around for long.

If any party would like to discuss or arrange to take a look then please contact Chris Proctor or myself and we would be delighted to take matters from there.”

For full details or to arrange to view, please contact Tim Gilbertson (07887 787 893 / tim@fhp.co.uk) or Chris Proctor (07747 464 770 / chris@fhp.co.uk) of FHP Property Consultants.

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP Property Consultants is delighted to announce on behalf of Independence Products Limited, the successful sale of the long leasehold of 30 Northern Court, Basford, Nottingham to Lee Jackson Air Conditioning Limited, the new owner occupier.

Immediately upon commencing the marketing interest and enquiries were being received and after the second block viewing we found the perfect buyer.  After a short period of negotiation the price and terms were agreed and solicitors instructed.

30 Northern Court sits on a prominent corner plot in an established industrial location in Basford and consists of recently refurbished offices and warehouse space on a gated secure plot.  The unit measures 2,479ft² and had 87 years remaining on the long leasehold.

Jennifer Cartwright of Independence Products Limited commented:

“Throughout the sale Anthony was very professional and supportive.  He always kept us up to date with where we were and I would give him a 5 star rating!”

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP Property Consultants commented:

“I am thrilled with the outcome of this sale for my client and although at times this transaction was difficult as there were lots of moving parts, all parties pulled together to get it over the line.  The interest has never stopped coming in for this property and throughout the legal process my phone has not stopped ringing with enquiries.  This demonstrates that the market in Basford for industrial stock is hot with demand clearly outweighing supply.  

Due to this we urge any property owners within Basford or Nottingham to contact FHP as we had a number of parties miss out on 30 Northern Court and they remain active in the market.”

For further information on this transaction or to see how FHP can help you with any commercial property matter, please contact Anthony Barrowcliffe on 0115 9507577 / anthony@fhp.co.uk.

FHP Property Consultants are pleased to confirm the letting of units 3 and 4 Ecclesbourne Park Industrial Estate, Cotes Park Lane, Alfreton, Derbyshire.

The property comprises 9,897ft² of good quality industrial/warehouse accommodation and is situated on the well located and popular estate of Ecclesbourne Park.  The unit has been let to Lymers Assist who have signed a new lease for a term of 5 years.

Darran Severn of FHP Property Consultants comments:

“This is a great result for everyone involved and we were able to turn this letting around within 3 weeks from the initial viewing to lease completion. There continues to be a lack of stock around Junction 28 of the M1 and we are continually speaking with local occupiers in this area, who are actively seeking units for expansion.  There is great demand for modern warehouse units between 10,000ft² and 50,000ft²  both on a leasehold and freehold basis.

If you are looking for a similar property, then we have just placed units 1 & 2 Ecclesbourne Park on the market on a leasehold basis.  This unit measures 9,915ft²  and will be available in June.”

Since starting my new role with FHP in September 2020, the increasing demand of industrial/warehouse units paired with the consistent lack of supply, has been an ongoing topic of conversation amongst the FHP industrial team. Despite the uncertainty of the past 12 months, demand for UK industrial/warehouse space continued to grow and fared better than any other commercial property sector.

Indeed, the pandemic and ensuing lockdowns has accelerated the shift to online, leading to a surge in demand from Ecommerce and Post & Parcel operators, however, encouragingly we have found the demand is no higher from distribution companies than it is from manufacturers, with enquiries coming from a plethora of sectors.

Over the year, demand has strengthened across all sizes ranges, but in particular for those units circa 5,000 sq ft and under. To showcase a few, I have recently put two small warehouse units under offer at Viking Business Centre, a popular trading estate in Swadlincote. 2,035 sq ft of office/workshop premises on Victoria Way, Pride Park, is under offer to an Ecommerce business, and 5,000 sq ft at Osmaston Park Industrial Estate in Derby is under offer to an operator within the distribution sector. Additionally, 611 sq ft at Amber Business Centre in Riddings went under offer within a matter of days of it coming to market.

This take-up arises from a mix of new start-ups alongside the expansion of existing businesses. In many circumstances, demand is so high that rental figures increase, and despite a challenging economic backdrop, we believe 2021 will continue to witness inflationary pressures on rents.

Thanks to the high volume of transactions, there has been a significant decrease in availability and vacancy. As a result, we are now faced with a growing shortage of suitable stock as supply is unable to cope with the unprecedented demand. Every day I am speaking with parties who express their dismay that they have completely outgrown their unit, and every day I feel so disheartened to tell them that I don’t have any stock available in order to help. We need more stock!

If you would like to discuss disposing of your industrial or warehouse premises, then I would be happy to help. Please contact Estée Coulthard-Boardman on 01332 224 853 or estee@fhp.co.uk .

“I know I am going to be really happy working here.  It is such a beautiful, adaptable building and perfect for my business needs.  We were on a tight timeframe when we put the offer in and Anthony at FHP was just brilliant!  Such a great communicator and very proactive!  Great job, well done!  Thank you.”

Having to move an office complex at any time can be time consuming and expensive but during the current situation even more difficult.

FHP and Chris Proctor in particular have helped us make this move smoothly with the minimum amount of fuss and expense.

I would have no hesitation in using FHP for any further move or acquiring further space for our operation

Baxter House received a lot of interest both from a letting angle and interest from purchasers. The QTS offer made a lot of sense with a highly established tenant looking to invest into the property long term and make the premises its Midlands HQ. We look forward to working with QTS in the coming years and once again a big thanks to Tim Gilbertson and Chris Proctor of FHP Property Consultants who sourced and negotiated this deal on our behalf.

Signing the lease on Baxter House is a pivotal moment for QTS, in terms of our planned growth and our commitment to Nottingham. The site itself is perfectly located and the property provides us with the space we need to house our equipment and our people, when the time is right for us to fully return to the office environment.

Thank you to FHP for making the transition of this deal go smoothly and we look forward to making Baxter House the hub of our operations in England.

Opportunities to rent good quality warehouse or production space on a large site are always sought after in every area of our East Midlands market, so when given the chance to dispose of good quality production space on a large site in Linby close to Junctions 26 and 27 of the M1 motorway, Tim Gilbertson and Chris Proctor always anticipated strong interest in the building.

This expectation turned into reality having to turn down any number of disappointed parties for the building with a letting now completed to QTS Group Limited one of the country’s leading railway contractors providing specialist services across a range of areas.

With the deal moving from agreement of terms to completion and handover of keys within a matter of weeks, this is a deal that has hugely suited both landlord and tenant alike as Tim Gilbertson and Chris Proctor of FHP Property Consultants commented:-

“We put this property under offer originally within a couple of days of it coming to the market towards the end of 2020.  Unfortunately, our original intended tenant couldn’t proceed which is always a disappointing message to have to convey to clients.  However, we were confident that we could quickly replace this tenant as we had, as all good agents should, kept in touch with the market and ensured that there was at least one fallback option to take the building on.  As ever, when that situation happens it’s always frustrating to have to inform clients of the need to ‘go again’ but equally, it’s great to be able to make another potential tenant happy and conclude a deal as we have done this time around with QTS Group.

QTS have been a pleasure to deal with throughout, performing admirably as our clients and their solicitors have as well to ensure rapid exchange of contracts to enable keys to be handed over within a few weeks of the property coming back available again.

It’s yet another example of the strength of the local market and the speed of lettings, demand ranging across all sizes and locations throughout the East Midlands in what remains a pleasingly strong market where demand is far outweighing supply.

Hopefully we will have the chance to market similar premises in the near future as properties with large yards/car parks are always very well received and very much sought after.”

Thomas Marshall, Operations Director at QTS, commented:-

“Signing the lease on Baxter House is a pivotal moment for QTS, in terms of our planned growth and our commitment to Nottingham. The site itself is perfectly located and the property provides us with the space we need to house our equipment and our people, when the time is right for us to fully return to the office environment.

Thank you to FHP for making the transition of this deal go smoothly and we look forward to making Baxter House the hub of our operations in England.”

Matthew Wrigley from PMW Property, the Landlords, commented:-

“Baxter House received a lot of interest both from a letting angle and interest from purchasers. The QTS offer made a lot of sense with a highly established tenant looking to invest into the property long term and make the premises its Midlands HQ. We look forward to working with QTS in the coming years and once again a big thanks to Tim Gilbertson and Chris Proctor of FHP Property Consultants who sourced and negotiated this deal on our behalf.”

FHP are delighted to announce the sale of the former Kingdom Hall Building on Redcliffe Road, Mansfield to Koolkids-Toys.  The building consisted of a former religious building/assembly hall with a F1 Use Class measuring 2,414ft².

Jacqueline Lowe of Koolkids-Toys began the business as a hobby which quickly grew into a career and small business selling educational toys and books, party bag toys and wooden toys.

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP commented:

“I first met with Jaqueline at a viewing of another property I was selling.  Koolkids were being made to relocate due to redevelopment of their existing property.  

From our initial meeting we discussed not only Koolkids requirement but their feelings towards a traditional industrial estate premises which Jacqueline felt was too cold and a bit stark.  Therefore, with some vision and lateral thinking we considered Kingdom Hall which was a self contained building steeped with character.  Jaqueline made an offer subject to a change of use application which we were delighted was accepted and we proceeded to sale.”

Jacquline Lowe, owner of Koolkids-Toys commented:

“I know I am going to be really happy working here.  It is such a beautiful, adaptable building and perfect for my business needs.  We were on a tight timeframe when we put the offer in and Anthony at FHP was just brilliant!  Such a great communicator and very proactive!  Great job, well done!  Thank you.”

It’s great to bring to the market some much needed cost effective production or potential storage space in Kirkby-in-Ashfield, one of the region’s industrial and distribution heartlands just off Junction 28 of the M1 and the A38.

FHP Property Consultants have been appointed to market for sale or rent a detached unit which sits on a good sized securely fenced and gated site, which is currently used for production purposes but could potentially be used for warehousing too.

We are delighted to have worked with Tim and the landlord to secure this fantastic space in Mansfield to continue our expansion plans. The extra space will allow us to increase our current production capacity significantly, create more jobs and expand the services we currently offer. After the last year which has been unprecedented for most of us and tough on everyone it is welcoming to have a positive milestone to focus on.

FHP Property Consultants has let good quality production space in Mansfield to expanding local business Foil Smart.

Acting on behalf of private pension fund clients, the deal sees just under 7,000ft² let to Foil Smart, one of the region’s leading trade laminators.

At a time when good quality production or warehouse space is in such high demand, it was pleasing to quickly dispose of this space after a previously abortive transaction.

Tim Gilbertson commented:-

“It’s been a pleasure dealing with Foil Smart throughout and I wish them well in their new premises.  We had extensive interest in this building which should come as no surprise given the excellent presentation our clients ensured, the ongoing good demand in the market and very limited supply of space.

A five year lease has been secured without break and we are sure this building and letting will serve both landlord and tenant well for many years to come.”

Foil Smart’s representative commented:-

“We are delighted to have worked with Tim and the landlord to secure this fantastic space in Mansfield to continue our expansion plans.

FHP Property Consultants are pleased to have been instructed to market 2B Aspen Business Park, Spondon on a leasehold basis.

The property has excellent access to the A52 dual carriageway on the east side of Derby and therefore has good access to the M1 motorway at Junction 25.

The building comprises an end terraced industrial/warehouse unit which has been extensively fitted out as good quality offices with ancillary storage.  The offices are fitted to a high specification including suspended ceilings with lighting, air conditioning and heating, double glazing and windows at first floor.  There is also a full height loading door and 3 phase power.

The property is available on new lease terms at a rent of £19,000 per annum.

Darran Severn of FHP Property Consultants comments:

“The unit is currently used for offices but would equally be suited to light storage or lab/studio space.  The accommodation provides a total of 5,440ft² which is split over two floors.  I’d be delighted to discuss the opportunity and show interested parties around at any time.” 

For further information or to arrange a viewing, please contact either Darran Severn (07917 460 031/darran@fhp.co.uk) or Estée  Coulthard-Boardman (07917 576251/estee@fhp.co.uk).
