I am a member of the Office and Industrial team at FHP, having joined the firm in June 2017.  I hold an RICS-accredited degree in Surveying from Nottingham Trent University, which I completed in 2011.  Before returning to the property sector, I gained valuable commercial experience working my family’s fresh produce business. This period provided me with a strong foundation in business operations and client service, which I have since brought into my property career. I returned to the property industry in 2016 and qualified as a Chartered Surveyor in 2020.  With a blend of practical business insight and professional expertise, I play an active role in advising clients across the office and industrial markets.

FHP Property consultants have recently been instructed to market the leasehold interest of Units 1 & 2 Hallam Fields Road, Ilkeston, Derbyshire.

These units are well located within the estate and are approximately 9 miles from Nottingham, 12 miles from Derby, and 7 miles from junction 25 of the M1 Motorway.

This modern warehouse space has good eaves height (up to 6.5m) and offers clear space accommodation which would be ideal for a variety of uses, as well as Unit 1 providing two storey office accommodation.

The premises are available as a whole or as individual units ranging in size from 232m² (2,497ft²) to 538m² (5,789ft²).  Each unit is available to rent on a new lease at £15,600 per annum.

Tim Gilbertson of FHP is often used to being put under pressure by clients who need both the classic “quick sale” but also at “the best price possible!”

Never more so has this been the case with two recent sales that have been completed in Leicester on behalf of an existing client, Mark Smithson, owner of Mark’s Electrical.

Tim Gilbertson takes up the story:

“When long term client, Mark Smithson, rang me up towards the end of 2016 to tell me he was moving it came as quite a shock.  Having only sold his former premises in Bardon, a variety of warehouse space some 18 months previously, the success of his business dictated a move to larger premises still and therefore he needed a sale of his two new buildings in Leicester on Elland Road completing quickly and at the best price possible.”

“His instructions were crystal clear and it was again a pleasure to deliver two quick sales for Mark to enable his further expansion and relocation to run through smoothly, with the sale of both buildings completing less than 5 months from the commencement of marketing”.

“Unit 1 Elland extended to well over 40,000ft², whilst Unit 2 offered over 20,000ft² of excellently specified warehouse space.  Both were well received in the market and after a full marketing campaign offers were made which were acceptable for both buildings and the sales were concluded before the end of May 2017.  Therefore, from initial contact to completion of the sales took just over 5 months with a capital receipt running into many millions and all this achieved within a very tight timescale, a pleasure again to meet and once more exceed my client’s expectations”.

Mark Smithson owner of the buildings commented:

“Once again Tim at FHP has come up trumps, he managed last time to sell 4 warehouses at Bardon Hill in a short time frame and this time he managed to sell two warehouses in a tighter time frame still. Without his expertise the deal probably wouldn’t have completed.

He is extremely reliable and always rings you back, which is a lot more than can be said for some of the competition. Well done Tim and thanks again.”

Tim Gilbertson continued:

“It has been a pleasure to deal with Mark again and I wish him well for the future.  When he needs to expand once more though hopefully he will give me a little more time so the pressure is not quite as intense but as ever the customer is always right and it was a pleasure to deliver once more for this very valued client”.

For further information on this deal or to see if Tim Gilbertson at FHP can help you with the sale or letting of your warehouse or industrial premises throughout the East Midlands please contact Tim on 0115 9507577 / 01332 34322 or email him on tim@fhp.co.uk.

Sitting mid way between the centre of Nottingham and Junction 26 of the M1 Motorway, Glaisdale Industrial Estate is always a popular location for distribution or manufacturing occupiers.  With very limited availability on the estate at the present, Tim Gilbertson of FHP is pleased to offer Unit 12A to the market.

Extending to just over 18,700ft² the building offers a mix of good quality warehouse or potential production space with excellent fitted offices and the key advantage of a large securely fenced and gated yard.

Tim Gilbertson commented:

“The market still remains in good shape and supply is limited, particularly for modern units with a large yard.  The biggest attribute that Unit 12A, Glaisdale Point has is undoubtedly its large securely fenced and gated yard plus additional car parking and as a result hopefully we will receive early interest.”

The letting is being handled by Tim Gilbertson and Chris Proctor and for further information or to arrange to view please contact either of them on 0115 9507577 or tim@fhp.co.uk / chris@fhp.co.uk.

Darran Severn of FHP Property Consultants has recently brought to the market an excellent warehouse opportunity benefitting from a comprehensive mezzanine in Derby.

Masons Place is located approximately 1 mile from the Pentagon Island/A52 and provides excellent access to the City Centre and junction 25 of the M1 Motorway via the A52.

The premises are available to rent on a new lease direct with the landlord at a rent of £28,500 per annum.

Darran Severn from FHP Property Consultants comments:-

“This is a great opportunity for businesses looking for maximum storage space.  The mezzanine effectively doubles the floor plate which increases efficiency of the building.  There are not many options within the centre of Derby and I look forward to speaking with interested parties.”

For further information or to arrange a viewing please contact Darran Severn on 01332 343 222 or darran@fhp.co.uk.

Following a comprehensive marketing campaign, FHP Property Consultants have concluded the letting of a prominent industrial building in Derby to Vertu Motors.

The building extends to just over 6,000ft², situated in a very popular car sales location, with nearby dealerships including Honda, Nissan, Skoda and Toyota, together with independent outlets.  Vertu Motors have acquired the unit to run as a vehicle preparation and valeting centre serving their dealerships in the surrounding area.

FHP Property Consultants acted on behalf of a private client.

Tim Richardson from FHP Property Consultants comments:-

“We had lots of interest in this property but we are pleased to have worked with Vertu Motors in the end securing a long term lease to an excellent covenant.  Vertu are expending in the area and needed to relocate one of their facilities in which we were able to accommodate at this building.”

Demand for industrial premises in this area remains high and we will be pleased to hear from anyone looking to sell or let their premises.

For further information please contact Tim Richardson at FHP Property Consultants on 01332 224 857 or timr@fhp.co.uk.

Due to continued growth and therefore a relocation to larger premises by the current occupier, FHP Property Consultants are able to offer for sale these modern industrial/warehouse premises totalling some 16,481ft².

The property comprises three adjoining industrial units of just over 5,000ft² footprint each, plus first floor offices and were constructed to a high standard in 2007.

Tim Richardson from FHP Property Consultants comments:-

“The premises are used for high tech engineering and warehousing so are very clean and finished to a high standard.  Currently used as one facility, with a very large car park this is indeed a rare opportunity to acquire a self-contained production or warehouse property.  Longbridge Lane is a modern development off Ascot Drive which is very popular with both trade counter operators and many factories.”

Whilst the sale of the whole is preferred, our clients may consider sales of individual units.  There is also a small development plot with consent for an industrial building which has already received multiple offers.

For further information please contact Tim Richardson at FHP Property Consultants on 01332 343 222 or timr@fhp.co.uk.

Tim Gilbertson of FHP has been asked to market good quality warehouse or potential production space in Castle Donington ideal for any company looking to occupy modern accommodation on a securely fenced and gated shared site.

Forming part of the small Langham Park development at Castle Donington just off Trent Lane, the building of 680m² (7,314ft²) sits within quick access of the A50 and M1 Motorway.

Tim Gilbertson commented:

“As a result of the forthcoming expansion and relocation of my clients who currently occupy this building, it will become available later in the year.

Flexibility is the key here as we can offer either a short term lease for roughly 12 months or alternatively a long term arrangement can be put in place on a new lease.

The building offers simple well presented space and hopefully we will quickly encourage good levels of interest in the building.

Acting on behalf of Rhys Davies Properties, Mark Tomlinson of FHP Property Consultants is delighted to announce the sale of 11 Glaisdale Drive, a 26,000 sq ft office and warehouse property located on Glaisdale Drive.  The property has been acquired by Blue Whale Spa expanding their hot tub manufacturing import and export business from Basford.

Mark Tomlinson of FHP Property Consultants commented:

“We were working with Blue Whale Spa’s requirement for some time whose business has gone from strength to strength over the last five years.  Finding premises to service their expansion however was tricky.  We put a strategy together on 11 Glaisdale Drive, whereby they could remodel these former Capita offices on Glaisdale Drive for both warehousing and distribution uses while retaining much of the office content for their purposes.  I’m delighted that Blue Whale Spa can now move forwards with their expansion”.

A picture tells a thousand words and certainly this is true given the redevelopment our clients, CWC Group, are undertaking on prime trade counter space at Newmarket Court just off Ascot Drive, Derby.

Three trade counter units are being created, with two already ‘under offer’ to household name occupiers.  The third unit remains available as Tim Gilbertson of FHP who is marketing the scheme commented:

“Our clients, CWC Group, bought this site with a view to redeveloping and refurbishing and we quickly located two prime occupiers for two of the three units to be created which will provide the best trade counter spot in Derby, with main road frontage to Ascot Drive, Derby’s best trade counter location.

As the picture shows our clients are racing on with the refurbishment and redevelopment of the site and therefore the final unit left, which extends to 2,815ft² will hopefully be snapped up soon as well, particularly as it benefits from its own large car park and again prominence to Ascot Drive.

A new lease is available and I would be delighted to discuss this opportunity with any potential tenants.”

For further information or to discuss in detail please contact Tim Gilbertson at FHP on 0115 9507577 / 01332 34322 or email him on tim@fhp.co.uk.

The premises is well situated within an established industrial location providing easy access to the M1 Motorway via the A38.  The property extends to approximately 7,600ft² and delivers clear span accommodation with the benefit of two additional mezzanines.

Darran Severn from FHP Property Consultants comments:-

“I am pleased to bring this unit to market and I look forward to speaking with prospective tenants or purchasers.  With a current lack of good quality units, I suspect this will appeal to several local occupiers.”

For further information or to arrange a viewing, please contact Darran Severn on 01332 343 222 or darran@fhp.co.uk.

The industrial and distribution market in the East Midlands has been crying out for new build stock for some time.  Stock levels continue to be low and despite this there has been little or no speculative construction.  One developer and investor has though bucked this trend and has now received his due rewards!  Long term clients of Tim Gilbertson of FHP, Mike Wrigley of PMW Properties, speculatively developed on Cotes Park Industrial Estate at Alfreton a 30,000ft² superbly constructed warehouse unit which Tim Gilbertson has now let.

Tim Gilbertson takes up the story:

“I encouraged our client to speculatively develop out space on this site, although no encouragement was needed as he was fully aware of the complete lack of available stock in the region.  As ever when encouraging speculative development there is pressure on any agent to achieve success but I am delighted that within a short period of practical completion of the construction of this excellent warehouse we have found a new tenant on a 10 year lease.

Our client, Mike Wrigley of PMW deserves massive credit for his decision to build speculatively in a market where few, if any, developers are doing the same in this mid range warehouse/industrial unit sector.  For us to secure a long term lease is great reward in a deal where also the tenant wins by securing the only new build unit of this size in the region, a great result all round.

We now hope that other developers will follow this lead and speculatively construct space to alleviate the chronic lack of supply in the market place.”

The unit has been taken by Fabb Sofas, to create a Midlands Distribution Centre for their business. 

Tim Gilbertson continued:

“For our client, PMW we have other property options available in the region and we really hope that these will go shortly as they should, again as a result of good demand in the market and most importantly a very limited supply. We hope to report further deals shortly.”

For further information on this transaction or to discuss the stock that is available on the region please contact Tim Gilbertson at FHP on 0115 9507577 or tim@fhp.co.uk.

Prime Industrial Park is situated fronting Osmaston Road, a main arterial route between the outer ring road and Derby City Centre.  FHP Property Consultants and the joint agents CPP have recently bought to the market two units ideally suited for trade counter, warehouse or light production use.

Unit 1 is 5,800 sq ft situated next door to Johnsons Decorator Centre and with a prominent frontage to Osmaston Road.  The property has a trade counter area already fitted and is ideally suited for that use.

Unit 7 is a smaller unit at 3,867 sq ft which incorporates warehouse space in the order of 1,775 sq ft plus additional ground and first floor assembly/office/studio space, ideally suited for a business who may do light assembly, design, internet sales or similar.

Tim Richardson from FHP Property Consultants comments:

“There is a real shortage of good quality industrial warehouse premises in the City at the moment so we are pleased to be able to offer these 2 units and are already receiving a good level of enquiries.  They are situated in a convenient position, with easy access to major manufacturers Bombardier and Rolls-Royce”.

The units are both available to let on new leases.

For further information please contact FHP Property Consultants on 01332 343 222 or timr@fhp.co.uk.

Tim Gilbertson of FHP is pleased to confirm one of the largest recent sales of a single industrial/warehouse unit in the region having just completed the disposal of over 70,000ft² at Bichwood Way, Somercotes, Alfreton.

Acting on behalf of private clients this modern warehouse/industrial unit has been sold to a growing local company who are expanding into the building from their current base nearby.

Tim Gilbertson commented:

“I always seem to be saying that stock levels are low and that deals are being done as a result and that continues to be the case here.

This building of just over 70,000ft² has been sold in a multi-million pound deal with the sale being concluded quickly to an expanding local company.

My client built this property for his own business some years ago and subsequently rented it out but with the market being strong for freehold sales the decision was made to dispose of the building.  As a result we quickly encouraged interest from the eventual buyers, who have been a pleasure to deal with throughout and concluded the sale.

Both my client and the purchasers have been terrific to deal with during the negotiations and I wish both parties well for the future.”

FHP’s client commented:

“It was a pleasure to deal with Tim Gilbertson at FHP on the sale, he has been superb throughout.

The whole process was extremely well executed and concluded I believe to every parties satisfaction.” 

Tim Gilbertson concluded:

“A very satisfying deal all around, both buyer and purchaser were happy and again we wish them both well for the future.  This sale leaves another hole in the market for any freehold or indeed leasehold substantial buildings in the region as supply is at such low levels and I would be delighted to speak to any potential vendors or landlords to market their property as there are certainly buyers and indeed tenants in the market for space such as this.  I can be contacted on 0115 9507577 or tim@fhp.co.uk.”

For further information on the deal or to discuss how Tim Gilbertson at FHP can assist with the sale or rental of your industrial or warehouse building please contact him.

Tim Gilbertson of FHP is pleased to bring to the market a rare chance to rent good quality mid-range space with office, car parking and in particular a large secure yard and site in Kirkby-in-Ashfield.

Tim Gilbertson commented:

“Stock levels are still low and we always find, regardless of location, interest can be generated if opportunities have a large site and extensive yard.  Clearly this is the case here with the entire yard being fenced and gated and offering extensive external storage space which will hopefully appeal to a number of potential occupiers in the market.

A new lease is offered and the building is well presented offering cost effective space in a good location.”

For further information or to make arrangements to view please contact Tim Gilbertson or Chris Proctor of FHP on 0115 9507577.

Acting on behalf of investor clients, Tim Gilbertson of FHP has completed the letting of substantial prime warehouse space of just over 10,000ft² to Canal Engineering to facilitate their local expansion.

The deal completed sees this superb building which forms part of the Easter Park Estate, Nottingham’s foremost industrial location, enable Canal Engineering to expand upon their existing base which they will retain on Lenton Lane.

Tim Gilbertson who brokered the deal commented:

“Easter Park still sets the standard in Nottingham for industrial or warehouse space, benefiting from a superb specification in a prime location just off Nottingham’s Ring Road and therefore within moments access of the City Centre but equally within quick access of the M1.  This location was the ideal opportunity for Canal Engineering who are already based on Lenton Lane to take additional space and hopefully this unit will benefit their business hugely moving forwards.

Canal have been a pleasure to deal with throughout and we look forward to working with them again in the future.

Equally though, our clients have been great to work with and we look forward to renewing acquaintances with them in the near future.”

Karen Hodgson of Canal Engineering commented:

“We are delighted to base our new training academy, CEATA at Easter Park which offers high quality accommodation. We look forward to welcoming our apprentices and partners to our new academy.  Easter Park is ideally situated for our business and the space is excellent.  We are grateful for the flexibility and co-operation of Tim Gilbertson of FHP during the lease negotiation.” 

Tim Gilbertson added:

“Once more this is a case of well presented good quality space letting at a very competitive rent which shows again the ongoing strength of local demand and increasingly the lack of supply.  We had to disappoint a number of parties for this unit and I do hope that we will have other opportunities come to the market to satisfy pent up demand.   If any property owners are looking to let or sell their industrial or warehouse space throughout the East Midlands then I would be delighted to assist, the market does remain in good health and deals are certainly being concluded at present.”

Establishing long term working relations with clients is always a pleasure, none more so than when relations have been developed following a string of successful acquisitions.

This is very much the case with Tim Gilbertson’s latest acquisition for Falcon Panel Products of a new Leeds distribution base where a deal has just been completed, with Tim Gilbertson securing on the edge of Leeds a fantastic unit of just over 32,000ft² for Falcon to expand into.  This is the fourth acquisition over the last few years completed for Falcon and Tim Gilbertson commented:

“It is great establishing working relationships with clients and undertaking repeat business.  They know what to expect from me, I know how they want to work and this makes agreeing and concluding deals so much simpler.

This was particularly important on this latest acquisition in Normanton on the edge of Leeds as a number of hurdles were posed by the landlords and their agents to deal with but by working with my clients we managed to overcome these and secure what will be an excellent base for Falcon’s growth in the north.

Having acquired bases for Falcon in Birmingham, Liverpool, Nottingham and Leeds, hopefully further acquisitions will be on the cards in the near future as their brand and business continues to grow.  We wish them well of course in this latest depot.”

Tim Gilbertson went on to add:

“Acquisition work is often ignored by occupiers but in the same way as any well advised business would seek legal advice from a solicitor surely similar words of assurance on the commercial terms of a deal should be obtained from an appropriately qualified agent.  Falcon certainly believe in that ethos and of course whilst costs are incurred by way of our fees they are happy with these every time by us providing not only an excellent service but also saving them money in the long run by negotiating hard on their behalf.”
