My dealings with Thomas Szymkiw and FHP have been conducted by him in a professional manner throughout the period of negotiation with all potential tenants, with a successful conclusion for all parties.I am happy to recommend  Thomas and FHP to any future client whom may require agency services.

FHP Property Consultants have placed on the market good quality warehouse space on the Amber Business Centre in Riddings.

The building extends to some 9,445ft² with loading door and yard to the front situated within a managed estate.  The building is undergoing some refurbishment in readiness for occupation both internally and externally including an enlarged parking area.

Tim Richardson comments:

“There are few buildings available of this size in the area and it has convenient access to the A38 dual carriageway and trunk road connections beyond.  The rent is priced competitively at £35,500 per annum.”

The estate also benefits from a manned security presence out of hours, providing additional peace of mind.

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

Following a string of lettings at Ash Tree Court, there is now only 1 unit available on the park which is due to become vacant in December this year.  Unit G1 comprises an end of terrace self-contained unit of approximately 2,600 sq ft which will be refurbished at the latter part of the year, ideal for an occupier looking to secure an office location with excellent connectivity to both Nottingham City Centre and the M1 motorway.

For further information, please contact Mark Tomlinson or Thomas Szymkiw at FHP Property Consultants on 0115 9507577.

It is quite rare that we are able to bring to the market a warehouse building suitable for trade counter purpose and having its own enclosed yard, but 31-33 Longbridge Lane fits the bill.

Extending to some 5,000ft² the current use is for manufacturing, but previously was occupied by a trade counter hire business and has a secure fenced yard, wash down facility, trade counter area, office and two loading doors into the warehouse areas.

Immediate neighbours include City Electrical Factors and Edmundson Electrical, and Longbridge Lane sits off Ascot Drive, a main trade counter location in the City and home to operators such as Screwfix, Howdens, Jewsons, Travis Perkins, Magnet and the like.

The property is available to let by way of a new lease and arrangements to view can be made through Tim Richardson at FHP Property Consultants on 01332 224 857 or timr@fhp.co.uk.

Having recently let a trade counter nearby in Newark, Tim Gilbertson of FHP is pleased to bring to the market another trade counter on Telford Court in Newark.  Immediately available, with the speed with which the former trade counter unit was let hopes are high that this building can be disposed of quickly.

Tim Gilbertson commented:

“We recently let approximately 100 yards away from this new opportunity a trade counter building which was very well received and let very quickly.  Therefore with this building benefitting from trade counter possibilities, or alternatively suitable for storage or potential production use, again we are confident of early interest being received.

With the benefit of extensive on-site car parking and indeed a secure compound to the side of the building, I would hope that interest will be generated quickly.

My colleagues Anthony Barrowcliffe, Brad Musgrove or myself would be delighted to discuss with any potential occupier and arrange for viewings as soon as possible”

For further information on the availability of this unit please contact Tim Gilbertson on 0115 9507577 or tim@fhp.co.uk or look at the website www.fhp.co.uk.

FHP Property Consultants are delighted to offer the last remaining unit at Securiparc on Wimsey Way in Alfreton.

The unit measures 3,140ft² and offers a high-quality warehousing space with exemplary security provisions and private parking, also benefitting from its excellent access to the A38 carriageway and onward to Junction 28 of the M1.

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP Office & Industrial Team comments:

“We currently only have one unit remaining at Securiparc, which shows its popularity and high distinction.  We have achieved massive amounts of success on the estate and only have the one unit remaining until full occupancy is achieved.  These units were built to an exceptionally high specification and offer outstanding standards in security, also benefitting from a very accessible location.”

For further information please do not hesitate to contact Anthony Barrowcliffe on 0115 841 1148 or email anthony@fhp.co.uk.

FHP Property Consultants are pleased to announce the recent letting of a former vehicle maintenance premises and an excellent sized yard located on Private Road No.3 in Colwick on behalf of landlords City Estates. The property has been leased to Gas Container Services who are expanding locally.

Gas Container Services specialise in the containment and management of high and low-pressure gas cylinders, drums and vessels. Following the continued success and growth of the business GCS have decided to move into lorry trailer refurbishment and as a result required additional space in the local area. Their new unit offers a large former vehicle workshop making it the ideal plot for their expansion.

With levels of stock extremely low, GCS having been looking for an additional premise for some time, and secured this premises despite several parties making an offer on the property.

Brad Musgrove of FHP’s Office and Industrial Team commented:

‘Interest in the unit and yard was incredibly high from the second we erected the marketing board outside of the premises. GCS were the first party to have a look around the premises and instantly knew it would work for them. With the main hub of their business situated just around the corner, the locational factors were also a huge benefit to GCS. Myself and the team at FHP wish Gas Container Services all the best for the future’

Wez, operations manager at Gas Container Services commented:

‘We started looking for a suitable site some time ago and happened to fall on the site by accident whilst visiting a supplier on the estate one morning, so I made a call and got a viewing arranged with Brad and Mark.  We were impressed with the size and location of the site so made an offer straight away that day.

Within a couple of weeks, we were in the position of signing the contract thanks to Brad and Mark understanding the urgencies of the time scale of our new venture.   We are very grateful to FHP team and their help in delivering this site on time and a great deal as well’.

For further information or to discuss other opportunities please contact Brad Musgrove at FHP Property Consultants on 0115 841 4798 or email him on brad@fhp.co.uk.

Blenheim Park, set just off Junction 26 of the M1 Motorway at Nottingham has always been one of the City’s favoured estates with property generally moving quickly, particularly when available for sale.

The latest deal concluded on this estate by Tim Gilbertson, has seen just over 6,000ft² of good quality stock sold to enable the relocation of established Nottingham company Ashworth & Thompson as they reconfigure their business model.

Tim Gilbertson who acted on behalf of the vendors with Matt Wade of Musson Liggins acting on behalf of the purchasers Ashworth & Thompson, commented:

“I was delighted to have the opportunity to sell this property with your joint agents and was confident from day one that a swift disposal could be achieved.

Via our formal marketing campaign a number of potential buyers were found plus interest was also generated on a potential lease but given the opportunity to sell to Ashworth & Thompson a swift deal was agreed.  This was a really good unit set in a prime location just off Junction 26 of the M1, sensibly immaculately presented by our client.  A combination of presentation, location and the rare chance to buy always seemed likely to create interest enabling us to achieve a swift deal which, I am please to say, was very much the case with a price being agreed at a sensible level.

We wish the new occupiers well in their base and look forward to having further opportunities to sell on this estate in a market where there remains good demand.”

Matt Wade of Musson Liggins acted on behalf of the buyers, Ashworth & Thompson and added:

“I am very pleased to be able to conclude this acquisition on behalf of my clients who have been looking to relocate for some time. Good quality Industrial units such as this are few and far between and it was very important that we relocated near to the clients existing premises.” 

Tim Gilbertson concluded by adding:

“Yet again another deal done and more stock in the market that needs replacing.

It does seem with activity still strong that the remainder of 2017 should see further deals agreed but with diminishing stock levels there will come a point where Nottingham effectively ‘runs out’ of opportunities.  I would therefore be delighted to speak to any landlord or vendor who might want to take advantage of this market and sell or let their industrial or warehouse premises.”

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

Anthony Barrowcliffe from FHP Property Consultants is offering a great opportunity for an occupier to capitalise on a fantastic deal on a property which consists of warehouse, office space and a large car park within a substantial secure yard.

Ideally located just off the A38, closely situated to Kirkby-in-Ashfield and Sutton-in-Ashfield, as well as easy access to junction 28 of the M1 motorway.

The unit measures 856 m² (9,218 ft²), and has two roller shutter doors, along with a large secure outside storage area within the yard.

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP Property Consultants comments:

“There is potential to negotiate a great deal on this property on flexible terms, which is a huge rarity in a market place where stock levels remain low and the prospect of a large unit with an extensive yard within close proximity to the motorway becoming almost impossible to obtain”.

For further information or to arrange a viewing please contact Anthony Barrowcliffe or Tim Gilbertson of FHP on 0115 950 7577 or anthony@fhp.co.uk.

FHP Property Consultants are pleased to announce the recent lettings of Units 15.9 and 15.10 Amber Business Centre to “Leedale Limited” and “Lee’s MOT Bay”.

Amber Business Centre is a popular and well-established distribution and manufacturing estate located in Riddings, Derbyshire and has easy access to the A38 and A610 dual carriageways as well as Junction 26, 27 and 28 of the M1.

Units 15.9 & 15.10 Amber Business Centre are both mid terrace industrial units both measuring in at 1,200 ft² and are located towards the back of the estate.

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP Property Consultants Comments:

“We received a great amount of interest in the above units and had several parties interested in letting them due to their desirable location and ideal size.  As a result we were able to achieve rents of £6 per ft².  The popularity of these units we believe is down to a lack of industrial space of this size in the current market place, demand appearing to be high when stock levels still remain low”.

For further information on these lettings please contact Anthony Barrowcliffe on 0115 841 1148 or anthony@fhp.co.uk.

Design & Build: The way forward in a market starved of good quality space?

After a successful first three quarters of 2017, the focus turns to Quarter 4 and the traditionally busy run up to Christmas.

Demand post Summer seems to remain good but stock levels, as has been the case now for some time, remain at critical levels.

With more deals done earlier in the year than anticipated, these levels are shrinking yet again but is there a saviour on the horizon? Design and build or ‘build to suit’ is a solution for any well run company seeking to prosper from forward planning, as it sees companies have bespoke premises built either for purchase or rent, created to their specific requirements upon superbly located sites.

Might this be the route for your company if you are being frustrated by the lack of stock in the market place? Yes, costs are higher than second hand space but for the valid reason that occupiers are buying or renting their ‘perfect premises’ rather than subsequently moving in and having to retrofit or amend what was originally another company’s property.  Design and Build provides occupiers with their perfect property from day one.

Is this the solution to your requirement for a new base? If this might be of interest then hopefully one or more of the sites we have detailed below may prove the ideal location as well as being able to deliver the perfect property for you.

Thank you to Tim Gilbertson and FHP and to his clients for facilitating our move onto the airport.  This expansion is a great move for our company and continues our trend of business expansion and progression. Tim was great to deal with throughout and I hope that I will have the opportunity to work with him again in the future.

Tim Gilbertson of FHP is pleased to confirm the disposal of warehouse premises with large yard at East Midlands Airport acting on behalf of owners MAG Property.

The deal concluded sees expanding air cargo industry services provider HAE secure additional space in their region to complement their current facilities.

Acting jointly with Ian Muxlow at Savills, Tim Gilbertson completed the letting on behalf of the owners of East Midlands Airport and commented:

“Having dealt with HAE a number of times before it was great to see them take on this warehouse at East Midlands Airport which we had been marketing on behalf of our clients, MAG Property, the owners of the Airport.

The unit appealed to Heavyweight due to its proximity to the runway but also with the building having the benefit of a large secure yard.  We wish Heavyweight well in their continued expansion and thank the owners of East Midlands Airport again for their instructions which were grateful received by both ourselves and our joint agent.”

Director at Heavyweight, Neville Karai, commented:

“Thank you to Tim Gilbertson and FHP and to his clients for facilitating our move onto the airport.  This expansion is a great move for our company and continues our trend of business expansion and progression. Tim was great to deal with throughout and I hope that I will have the opportunity to work with him again in the future.”

MAG Property Estates Manager at East Midlands Airport, Jason King, added:

“It is fantastic that HAE will benefit from expanding their operations on-site at East Midlands Airport, the largest pure cargo airport in the UK.  Our focus at MAG Property is to identify the most appropriate property solution to suit the individual needs of businesses and we’re proud to be supporting Heavyweight Air Express as they expand their business here.”

Tim Gilbertson concluded by adding:

“The latest deal concluded in the region sees available stock reduce yet again and with good levels of demand still being encountered for industrial and warehouse space across the region now is certainly a great time for any potential landlords or vendors to contact FHP and I would be delighted to discuss and hopefully assist in the sale or letting of their property.”

For further information please contact Tim Gilbertson at FHP on 0115 9507577 / tim@fhp.co.uk.

FHP Property Consultants have recently concluded the sale of Unit 4 High Holborn Road, Codnor Gate Industrial Estate, Codnor to MCC Direct Limited.

The premises comprise a detached industrial/warehouse unit of steel portal frame construction and provides clear span accommodation totalling 7,600ft².

Darran Severn from FHP Property Consultants commented:-

“We received strong interest once placed on the market and the property went under offer within a couple of weeks.  With four offers on the table we were able to achieve the best price possible for our client.  This is typical of the current industrial market where stock is limited and demand is high thus resulting in higher capital values.”

Terry Nash, the former building owner was extremely pleased with the result and commented:-

“Right from the beginning when we put the sale out to tender we were impressed by FHP’s prompt attention and professional presentation.

 We feel that FHP had a large input in helping us achieve the best possible sale price and indeed finally achieving an eventual completion within a very short timescale”.

 If you are considering moving premises or would like to speak to someone about your property, then FHP would be delighted to offer our initial advice to you on a non-obligation basis.

For further information on this sale, please contact Darran Severn on 01332 343222 or darran@fhp.co.uk.

FHP Property Consultants are pleased to announce the recent letting of Unit 12 Viking Business Centre to Beswick Refrigeration Services.

Viking Business Centre is a popular multi let industrial estate, located off the A511 High Street, Woodville, approximately six miles south east of Burton on Trent.

Unit 12 comprises a mid-terraced industrial/warehouse unit and extends to approximately 1,330ft².

Darran Severn from FHP Property Consultants comments:-

“We received good interest once this was placed on the market, which led to the unit going under offer within a couple of weeks.  There continues to be a shortage of good quality warehouse units across the region, particularly sub 5,000ft².    Rents have continued to rise and this is witnessed in the latest deal which is up by circa 50p per ft²”.

There is currently one remaining unit at Viking Business Centre measuring 1,360ft².

For further information on this letting, please contact Darran Severn on 01332 343222 or darran@fhp.co.uk.

Whilst their products are designed to help dieters shed inches, Tim Gilbertson of FHP has helped Slimming World add feet and metres, by agreeing terms leading to their occupation of over 40,000ft² of prime distribution space at Junction 28 of the M1.

Acting on behalf of Legal & General a thorough marketing campaign quickly found the ideal occupier for this superb building set just off Junction 28 of the M1 at its intersection with the A38, leading to a deal being concluded with Slimming World to meet their needs for further storage space in the region.

Tim Gilbertson commented:

“Having acted on behalf of Legal & General on some of their other disposals in the region previously, I was delighted to be asked to offer this property to the market.  Set in a prime position just off the ever popular Junction 28 of the M1, close to its intersection with the A38, this building offers high calibre warehouse space with two storey offices all set on a large fenced and gated site.

Given the lack of space in the market and the ongoing good levels of demand we have encountered throughout 2017, I was optimistic of a quick disposal and pleasingly this proved to be the case.

Having met Slimming World a few times previously and knowing of their quest for additional storage capacity given their ongoing expansion, it was great to bring them to this unit as it clearly fitted the bill for their needs.  I managed to confirm and agree terms swiftly enabling them to occupy the building on a new lease.

Yet again it has been a case of knowing ‘who is in the market’ as this market knowledge enabled me to quickly find the right style and indeed calibre of occupier for this prestigious building.

I wish Slimming World well in this property for the future.”

Tim Gilbertson concluded by adding:

“This is the second letting of 40,000ft² I have completed at Junction 28 within the last couple of months and I have a third one lined up to complete shortly.  Yet again we are seeing good quality well presented space being let quickly and at strong rents in this market, showcasing again the strength of this location with its excellent north/south and indeed east/west access.

Both manufacturing and distribution companies have been accommodated in buildings as a result of these deals and the location continues to thrive from a property perspective, with the market now being in dire need of additional space.

I would love to speak to any potential landlords or vendors who have space in the region, of literally any size, but particularly larger warehousing or industrial units as space truly is at a premium now and it would be nice to have more stock to offer to meet the ongoing demand we receive for buildings in the region.”

For further information on this deal or to see how we could help you to let or sell your property please contact Tim Gilbertson at FHP on 0115 9507577 or email him on tim@fhp.co.uk.

At a time when stock in the market is limited, our clients on two units at Crossgate Drive in Nottingham which we are marketing are to be applauded for their proactiveness in refurbishing two excellent buildings which are available individually or combined.

Each of the units extends to about 12,000ft² and is available individually or combined and once complete will offer good quality refurbished space in a prime location just off Nottingham’s Ring Road, set close to the City Centre just off Queens Drive.

Tim Gilbertson of FHP who is marketing the units commented:

“Once refurbished these buildings will present very well, their internal and external feel mirroring the high calibre location we have on offer.

Each of the units is available individually or combined and I anticipate good levels of interest being generated once the refurbishment is complete.”

For further details or to arrange to view please contact Tim Gilbertson at FHP on 0115 9507577 / tim@fhp.co.uk.

On behalf of long standing clients, Tim Gilbertson of FHP and Kevin Benson of Fisher German are pleased to bring to the market excellent warehouse or potential production space at Tuxford, just off the A1 north of Newark, of 23,000ft².

With the benefit of a large securely fenced and gated yard, the building offers simple storage or potential production space with two storey office and ancillary plus canopied loading.

Benefiting from both dock and level access loading, a new lease is available and early interest is sought.

Tim Gilbertson of FHP commented:

“It is great to bring this building to the market as we can be flexible upon lease length although anticipate good levels of interest for longer term occupation given the large yard which is available with what is an excellent building.”

Kevin Benson of Fisher German added:

“The A1 is literally moments away from this building and with the increased usage of that road in recent years, coupled with the lack of stock in the market we do think there will be good levels of interest for this building form the start of our marketing campaign.”

To make arrangements to view or discuss please give either of the agents a call.

As commercial Property Consultants, we regularly hear comments that businesses are unable to find a property that meets their requirements.  The simple solution therefore is to get one built and FHP Property Consultants are pleased to be able to offer such an opportunity off Ascot Drive on the Osmaston Park Industrial Estate.

Extending to approximately 0.56 acres, the plot already has planning consent for an industrial unit up to 8,400ft² but equally would suit a smaller or potentially slightly larger unit as either offices, production or warehouse space.  The property would be offered on a lease, or possibly for sale.

Tim Richardson from FHP Property Consultants comments:

“The building would be constructed by Bailey Construction Limited, an established local company with an excellent track record.  We will be pleased to talk to any business looking to acquire industrial or office space in the area”.

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

Right from the beginning when we put the sale out to tender we were impressed by your prompt attention and your professional presentation.

We feel that you had a large input in helping us achieve the best possible sale price and indeed finally achieving an eventual completion within a very short timescale.

FHP Property Consultants are delighted to be marketing a prominent warehouse fronting Aspley Lane.  The unit adjoins the popular Collins Cash & Carry and offers flexible warehousing options from approximately 5,000ft² up to 20,000ft².

Situated on a highly visible and busy arterial route close to the city centre, this opportunity would be suitable for a wide range of uses, subject to planning.  The options available also benefit from generous parking facilities for up to 30 vehicles.

“In a climate where options in this size range are limited, I am pleased to be working with a landlord who is willing to work with tenants and look at potentially splitting this larger unit into smaller sections to fulfil the needs of the market”

For further information, or to see how FHP could help you with your property requirement, please do not hesitate to contact Thomas Szymkiw on 0115 841 1159 or thomas@fhp.co.uk.

Throughout Leicestershire, the lack of good quality distribution or manufacturing space has becoming chronic.  Occupiers are seeing business expansion plans thwarted, potential occupiers cannot relocate to the area and frustration mounts all round.

A scheme being marketed jointly by Tim Gilbertson at FHP and Mike Allwood and Geoff Gibson of Andrew & Ashwell, Crosslink 646 is hopefully a solution to alleviate the problem!

Set to the north of Leicester close to the intersection of the A6 and A46 south of Loughborough, therefore within easy access of Junction 21A of the M1. The scheme is being funded by Mattioli Woods plc and will be developed jointly by local Leicester based companies Rotherhill Developments and Custodian Capital. This prime development park should hopefully be the answer for any number of occupiers in Leicestershire and beyond who have been seeking space in the region.

Tim Gilbertson of FHP commented:

“Like most locations, Leicestershire has suffered in recent years over a lack of supply seeing pent up demand frustrated over the lack of opportunities to relocate.  Given that our clients intend to develop out on a build to suit basis for purchase or rent industrial and warehouse space, this great scheme should be the answer to the prayers of any number of local companies.

Set in a great location, the site provides immediate access to the dual carriageway A6 linking into the A46 north of Leicester and therefore providing access to the M1 within a matter of minutes whilst also remaining close to local facilities in the centre of Loughborough and indeed Leicester itself.  This is a great scheme to work on and we look forward to announcing further details soon.”

Joint agents for the scheme are Mike Allwood and Geoff Gibson of Andrew & Ashwell.  Mike added:

“This is a great location close to the Wyevale Garden Centre and within an established employment development known as Rothley Lodge, which includes a large factory / warehouse occupied by Sofidel UK. A key point to bear in mind is that our clients are more than happy to sell as well as let any properties built.  A number of development sites in the region are only offered on a leasehold basis but we are finding more and more local businesses prefer to own their buildings.

Even from our initial tentative discussions, it is clear that there is good demand and hopefully our marketing will tease out further interest.”

Paul Bagshaw of Rotherhill Developments concluded:

“Our agents have already brought us a number of enquiries for the scheme which we are now trying to progress but with the ability to house production or distribution companies from as little as 25,000ft² upwards we would be delighted to hear from any parties, whether local, regional or those looking at a relocation from elsewhere in the country, via our agents, to discuss in detail this exciting opportunity.”

For more information on the scheme or to simply express early interest then please contact the agents.

FHP Property Consultants are pleased to have been involved in a major expansion of a substantial local business within Derby, having been asked to advise on the relocation to a new facility and disposal of their existing freehold premises.

Established in 2008, Pentaxia Limited are a world class tooling and composite manufacturing facility with clients including some of the most advanced engineering businesses in the world.  From fast jets to luxury cars, front of grid motorsport teams to bespoke engineering organisations, Pentaxia manufacture for all of these and provide a dynamic reliable end to end approach to project delivery.

Currently operating out of 6 units totalling 27,500ft² at Longbridge Lane off Ascot Drive, the business needed a facility that would accommodate their ongoing expansion.

Pentaxia identified a manufacturing property of some 70,000ft² on 6 acres on Alfreton Road, originally constructed for composites production by Rolls-Royce some 40 years ago and then extended by Key Joinery in more recent times.  A deal was agreed and the focus turned to a disposal of the existing premises.

FHP Property Consultants commenced marketing and within days agreed terms for a sale to Derbyshire Investments (UK) Limited of the industrial premises together with a plot of development land within the same estate.  As part of the transaction a flexible lease was put in place to allow Pentaxia to remain in occupation whilst the new property is refurbished.

Tim Richardson comments:

“The client’s brief was to enable a release of funds from the existing property assets to facilitate the acquisition of the new building.  The structure of the deal has enabled Pentaxia to do this whilst continuing to operate from the premises and allow an orderly move whilst maintaining production.  Derbyshire Investments were straightforward to deal with and performed quickly on the acquisition”.

Stephen Ollier from Pentaxia adds:

“This is a very exciting period in our growth.  This deal will see the new site return to its former glory as a centre of innovation and a composites hub for the Midlands, and will double our existing production capability, with room for additional growth in due course.  FHP as property advisors have been instrumental in making this happen”.

FHP are now instructed to offer the Ascot Drive premises to let following Pentaxia’s relocation, with sizes from 5,000ft² to 16,500ft², available from Q1 2018.

In addition, there is a design and build opportunity on the development plot suitable for a bespoke industrial unit up to 8,400ft², or other commercial use subject to planning.

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

FHP Property Consultants in partnership with Rushcliffe Borough Council are delighted to confirm the practical completion of all 15 industrial units at Colliers Business Park, with the first set of tenants already in occupation.

The units range in size from 750ft² to 1,750ft² and have been built to a very high specification, providing excellent quality warehousing situated in a shared and secure yard area with private parking.

The estate also benefits from fantastic transport links to Nottingham, Newark on Trent and Leicester and is in close proximity to both the A46 and A52 dual carriageways, the latter giving good access to Nottingham’s Ring Road and the M1 Motorway.

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP’s Office and Industrial Department commented;

“We have been delighted with the levels of interest we have received and are very proud to have agreed lettings on 10 out of the 15 units before practical completion was even announced.  With how successful the whole project has been we are exceptionally excited with the prospect of finding tenants for the remaining 5 units which we are already seeing high levels of interest in”. 

FHP are also now taking enquiries on the second phase of the development, a commercial development plot available to purchase of circa 1.1 acres with planning consent for industrial, warehouse and office uses.

For further information on Colliers Business Park, or to see how FHP could help you with your property requirement, please do not hesitate to contact Anthony Barrowcliffe on 0115 841 1148 or anthony@fhp.co.uk.

FHP Property Consultants are delighted to announce the letting of Unit 8 Securiparc on Wimsey Way in Alfreton to M W Car Sales, specialists in the selling of luxury used cars.

The unit measures 2,260 ft² and offers high quality warehousing space with private parking, also benefiting from excellent access to the A38 dual carriageway and onwards to junction 28 of the M1.

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP’s Office and Industrial Team commented; –

“M W Car Sales are a local company who have seen significant growth in the last few years. This unit at Securiparc fitted their requirements perfectly and I very much wish them all the best for the future.  These units are proving very popular with local occupier’s due to their desirable location, good transport links, and excellent security. As a result, we have been abe to achieve rents above £6.00 per ft² and still have two units available, ranging from 3,140- 4,632 ft².”

For further information, or to see how FHP can help sell or let your industrial premises, please do not hesitate to contact Anthony Barrowcliffe on 0115 841 1148 or email anthony@fhp.co.uk.

Thank you for the way you have conducted the sale of the two properties.

Your professionalism and attitude have been excellent, I will have no problem in recommending you.

Thanks again to Thomas and the team at FHP for matching The Coach House with our lovely new tenants Speech Therapy Specialists. Once again, very happy with the level of service from FHP, good communication and a successful conclusion all round.

n behalf of long term clients, Tim Gilbertson of FHP has brokered a deal with DMW Logistics for them to take a lease of excellent warehouse accommodation on a large site adjoining their current base on Oddicroft Lane, just off the A38 at Junction 28 of the M1 Motorway.

This 40,000ft² building attracted substantial interest from the commencement of marketing and a deal was agreed with DMW to facilitate their expansion much to the delight of FHP’s client.

Tim Gilbertson commented:

“We literally turned down two or three other parties for this building to run with DMW, who are well known to our client and who he was pleased to conclude a further deal with.  We wish DMW well in their new base that increases their storage capacity by 25%.”

DMW have recently won substantial amounts of extra business from existing and new clients. The benefits of the site were “too good to miss” said Operations Director, Phil Swindells.

Tim Gilbertson added:

“On a personal note though this latest deal, with a couple of other similar sized buildings under offer, leaves stock levels dangerously low.  We had to turn down other parties for this unit and demand remains good so if any potential vendors or landlords are looking to appoint agents to sell or let their premises in the region then it is safe to say that demand is good, competing supply is negligible and I would be delighted to provide advice and initial thoughts without initial cost or commitment to any potential clients looking to sell or let their space in the region.  I am always happy to chat through and can be contacted on 0115 9507577 or tim@fhp.co.uk.”

For further information on this deal or to see if Tim Gilbertson can help with your rental or sale requirements please contact him.

Despite falling available in the middle of the summer holidays, interest is already being generated in a rare chance to rent good quality warehouse space on a securely fenced and gated yard at Castle Donington.

Brought to the market by Tim Gilbertson, he commented:

“Traditionally August is the quietest time of the year with holidays dominating most occupier’s thoughts.  However after making initial calls to a few potential occupiers we are already generating interest in this excellent building in Castle Donington.

Set on its own securely fenced and gated site, this detached warehouse or potential production unit is available on a new lease later in the year and offers much needed stock into a market in need of new supply.

I am hopeful that the unit will let quickly as with presentation works to be undertaken when the current occupier vacates in a few weeks time the building really will look good and benefit from a great location just off the M1 and good sized secure self contained yard.”
