FHP Property Consultants acting on behalf of London and Scottish Property, retained Asset Managers to Regional REIT PLC, have completed the sale of Stanley House on Talbot Street in Nottingham City Centre.

David Hargreaves, who acted on behalf of London and Scottish Property confirmed that the office building, which provides 32,000 sq ft of offices with 32 car parking spaces, has been sold to BSP Holdings on an unconditional basis for £3,000,000.

David Hargreaves went on to say:

“This property has a unique heritage, having previously been a textile factory and then being converted to offices some 30 years ago.  The property was previously occupied by the Driving Standards Agency and has now been sold with vacant possession.

Its location, very close to Nottingham Trent University’s Main Campus, makes it ideal for both student accommodation and also residential conversion.

However, due to the significant reduction in the supply of offices, the building is also appropriate for offices as well.”

It is understood that BSP Holdings are likely to develop the property for residential purposes and that a Planning Application will be submitted shortly.

FHP acted on behalf of London and Scottish Property, whilst BSP Holdings represented themselves.

FHP Property Consultants are delighted to confirm that Impression, one of the region’s fastest growing digital marketing agencies with offices in both Nottingham and London have expanded their operations by leasing 8,000 sq ft at Fothergill House in Nottingham City Centre.

Impression specialises in helping businesses of all shapes and sizes to grow online. As a multi-award winning digital marketing agency, Impression provides search engine optimisation (SEO), pay-per-click advertising (PPC), conversion rate optimisation (CRO) and content marketing services. Their in-house design and development team builds websites and creative marketing campaigns for clients who include some of Nottingham’s biggest names.

Fothergill House was extensively refurbished by landlords, a fund managed by Clearbell Capital, who have created the type of space which is badly needed in Nottingham City Centre to meet the needs of its fast-growing tech centre.  This includes a complete overhaul of the reception area as well as an industrial style stripped back refurbishment of the space which incorporates stunning views of Nottingham’s Council House and the city centre.

Tom Craig, Co-Founder of Impression commented:

“The move to Fothergill House marks the next step in what’s already been a very exciting and very successful journey for the Impression team. We’re extremely proud of our Nottingham roots, having spent our early years in the Lace Market, and Fothergill House provides us a central location with plenty of space to grow over the coming years. We are due to have our launch event and look forward to displaying our new base to the business people of Nottingham and beyond.”

Mark Tomlinson of FHP Property Consultants who acted on behalf of the landlords in the deal commented:

“We had been speaking with Impression Digital about their expansion plans for some time and the main challenge was sourcing the right environment for its teams and to attract further quality people to the business, in part, through its working environment.  Fothergill House undoubtedly does this with its stripped back style, incorporating LED over ethernet lighting and full air conditioning throughout.  The space is heavily featured with its frontage being Watson Fothergill designed which is one of Nottingham’s stand out buildings.”

The building is located right in the heart of things with Market Square on the door step and The Alchemist which has recently opened across the road.  There is a further floor available in the building and we would be delighted to speak to interested parties about the space.

Adam James of Clearbell Capital, commented:

“We are delighted to welcome Impression in to Fothergill House following our newly refurbished office space in this Grade II listed building. We have managed to expose some fantastic features which make this space so unique. The inspiration for the exposed service design was led initially by the building constraints, and tech sector influenced business space seen in UK hotspots such as Shoreditch, then we quickly capitalised on a severe supply demand imbalance for this style of office in Nottingham.”

LSH Nottingham offices are the joint agents on the scheme.

FHP Property Consultants are delighted to bring to the market a fine opportunity to rent a good quality, self-contained office premises conveniently located close to Junction 26 of the M1 Motorway.

Thomas Szymkiw of FHP’s Office and Industrial Team commented;

“This is a great opportunity for any business looking to rent a well-appointed office premises within easy reach of the M1 Motorway, Nottingham and Derby. I therefore anticipate that interest will be high and urge any interested parties to contact us at FHP to arrange a viewing as soon as possible”.

The latest deal concluded sees superb Grade A office space of over 13,000ft² built for Loughborough based EQ Software, part of the Compusoft Group, enabling them to expand and drive forward their business plan throughout the UK and beyond.

A market leader in the provision of software for the kitchen, bedroom and bathroom market, creating management systems for sole proprietors through to high end multi-branch companies, when considering their need to expand and relocate Ivanhoe Business Park at Ashby came to the forefront of their mind and a deal was rapidly agreed for the bespoke build of over 13,000ft² of Grade A office space set over two floors on the park.

Tim Gilbertson of FHP, who acted on behalf of CWC Group in agreeing and completing the deal commented:

“From our very first meeting with EQ Software an excellent working relationship was established as their needs and requirements for good quality space at the best price possible were mirrored by the ethos our clients, CWC Group, bring to every deal they do.

As a result of the synergy between both developer and occupier, terms were quickly agreed for the bespoke built development of 13,000ft² of Grade A office space, set over two floors on Ivanhoe Business Park, Ashby’s premier location just off the A42.

By relocating to Ashby, EQ Software ensured that their valued staff were retained with the move to a site a short distance from their previous Loughborough base whilst also providing a bespoke working environment in a fantastic building with extensive car parking, remaining within easy reach of the town centre and all facilities contained there.”

James Richards, Development Director of CWC Group commented:

“This is the biggest office deal that we have completed now at Ivanhoe Business Park, seeing over 13,000ft² of Grade A space sold to EQ Software.

This is a great addition to the park and as we reach completion of the estate EQ augment our strong list of occupiers.

With only a couple of office buildings available now, offered either to purchase or rent, we hope to announce details of further deals in the near future as Ivanhoe Business Park nears capacity.”

In a market starved of good quality stock, CWC Group and their agents FHP and Salloway are delighted to confirm the first success of their ambitious speculative office development programme at Ivanhoe Business Park, Ashby de la Zouch.

With a diverse range of occupiers on the Park, incorporating standard warehouse and industrial based companies plus trade counters, extensive office occupiers from smaller companies through to major headquarters plus a range of ancillary uses including Children’s Day Nursery and Veterinary Surgery, CWC Groups Development Director James Richards took the decision early in 2017 to speculatively build a range of new offices onsite to complete the development.

6 office buildings were commissioned, the first 3 of which were completed at the end of Summer 2017 and the sale of the first of those is now complete to expanding local company Blueprint Interiors.

Having purchased a fantastic Grade A office at just over 3,500ft² the move will enable Blueprint to continue their business development and success throughout the region.

Development Director at CWC Group James Richards commented:

“Ivanhoe has been a terrific success and Tim Gilbertson of FHP and Phil Randle of Salloway have brought us a range of occupiers across a diverse group of business sectors.  The 6 offices that we committed to build speculatively see the final land at Ivanhoe being developed and as we hoped would be the case we have experienced strong demand for all of these offices from the off.  I think the local market and indeed further afield have realised that this is the last chance to buy or rent office space at Ivanhoe and hopefully with this message getting through the confidence remaining in the office market has resulted in good levels of interest, such that we hope to announce as a result further deals completing very shortly.”

Phil Randle of Salloway and Tim Gilbertson of FHP added:

“It is great when developer clients take the decision to speculatively construct space.  As agents we know that there is a real demand in the market and this, coupled with the lack of supply, convinced us that our clients were making the right decision in speculatively developing.  As of then the pressure is on as agents to find buyers or tenants for office space but pleasing that so far we have received strong interest and as James Richards mentioned, hope to announce further deals shortly”.

The Blueprint Interiors deal is a great success story.  Their expansion and relocation to Ivanhoe Business Park will enable the Blueprint team to continue their development and build upon previous success as Managing Director, Rob Day commented:

“As experts in workplace design and fit-out we were delighted to work with CWC Group to jointly create a superb contemporary office building that completely meets our needs. Working from inception with their design and construction teams to handover a building ready for us to complete our own interior project provided an opportunity to create the most dramatic experience for our clients and staff alike.  Together we have built a striking and effective work space that enjoys state of the art energy-efficiency in a premium quality business park environment.”

For any party potentially looking at buying or renting these high-quality offices at Ivanhoe then please contact either Tim Gilbertson at FHP, 0115 9507577 / 01332 34322 or email him on tim@fhp.co.uk or Phil Randle at Salloway, 01283 500030 or email him on phil@salloway.com.  Either of the agents would be delighted to discuss in more detail.

FHP Property Consultants now have just one unit remaining at Castlebridge Office Village following the latest letting to Graphisoft, a software company who specialises in BIM and CAD software for architects, interior designers and urban planners.  This follows a string of lettings on the office park located on the fringe of Nottingham city centre amongst the amenities offered by Castle Marina Retail Park and regular bus routes into the city centre which is a short walk over the canal.

FHP Property Consultants have now welcomed a number of new tenants to the site including Sumo Digital, Specsavers, Avery Denison, Fat Free Media, Godwin Developments and Transform Trust over the course of the last 18 months.

Mark Tomlinson of FHP Property Consultants commented:

“The landlords on this site have been carrying out an extensive refurbishment of these buildings totalling some 35,000 sq ft providing an excellent specification to cater for the requirements of modern office occupiers.  We have managed to push the rents on the site now to £17 per sq ft given the quality of the refurbishment and there is now just one office remaining, a superb quality double fronted unit of 2,185 sq ft with 10 car parking spaces.

The supply of office property in the city centre and the immediate city fringe has reduced drastically over the last 12 months with positive take up in 2017 and going into 2018 we anticipate the supply to squeeze further.  It is up to landlords to present their buildings correctly in order to take advantage of this low supply and the rents that are now obtainable.”

For further information, please contact Mark Tomlinson Director of FHP Property Consultants on 07917 576 254 or mark@fhp.co.uk.

FHP Property Consultants have recently concluded the investment sale of Unit 15 Poplars Court which comprises a self-contained office building let to Capital Cranfield.  The sale of the property was agreed in just 2 weeks of marketing through a competitive bidding process and eventually sold to Toadhole Investments.

Mark Tomlinson of FHP Property Consultants who acted on behalf of the seller in the sale commented:

“The investment market continues to be strong with considerable appetite in the sub £500,000 market with many investors seeking to invest SIPP money into commercial opportunities.  Modern and well let opportunities are performing particularly well with the squeeze on available opportunities causing an increase in rental and capital values.”

The building was originally constructed in the early 1990s and acquired by M7 in 2015.  At the time of acquisition the building had been vacated by Tech Guys (part of Dixons Stores Group) with the building being in a poor state of repair but held on a lease which ran until August 2017.

In advance of the end of the lease M7, through their Agents FHP, undertook soft marketing of the property and they identified Siemens who were seeking to identify a property to relocate from their existing offices at Lambourne Drive in Wollaton.

By presenting a bespoke refurbishment package M7 have attracted Siemens to the property – they committed to undertake a fast track refurbishment bespoke to Siemens requirements integrating both the Landlord’s and the Tenant’s work to enable the building to be delivered and ready for occupation in November 2017.

John Murnaghan of M7 confirmed:-

“We are delighted to have attracted Siemens to Central Park – we spotted the opportunity of the building when we purchased in 2015 for us to be able to provide Grade A offices in a highly accessible and convenient location at a rental less than that being charged elsewhere within the City.  Working with our professional team we put together a package to work with Siemens to deliver the building in a short period of time”.

The pre-negotiations enabled M7’s Contractors, Office Innovations, to immediately start on site at the beginning of September, the comprehensive refurbishment involving renewal of air conditioning, reconfiguration internally, new ceilings, lighting, WCs and carpets in a refurbishment project understood to have a value of circa £2 million.

FHP’s Nottingham Office worked with M7 and Western Allison Wright (WAW) as Project Managers in agreeing the deal.

John Proctor at FHP confirmed:-

“This is a key deal for Nottingham – the refurbishment of Central Park retains a key employer of Siemens’ stature within the City for the foreseeable future and brings back to life an outdated building.  The proactive approach of M7 and their commitment to give us the flexibility to put forward bespoke refurbishment proposals to Siemens and deliver on a fast track basis were key to enable us to deliver a complex deal in such a short period of time.

With this deal confirmed FHP have now been involved in office transactions within the East Midlands area totalling more than 400,000ft² made up of sales, lettings, freehold acquisitions and leasehold acquisitions for a variety of Private Clients, Professional and Corporate Occupiers, Property Companies, Private Investors and Financial Institutions.
