Housing and Planning Minister Brandon Lewis recently announced that permitted development rights for the conversions of office buildings into residential accommodation is to be made permanent – but what are the implications on the office sector?

First introduced in 2013, the legislation enables offices to be converted to new homes without the need for planning permission. This meant almost 4,000 conversions went ahead, mainly of redundant grade C office supply no longer seen economically viable for refurbishment, given the suppressed demand in the office sector between April 2014 and June 2015.

The termination of the scheme was threatening to restrict further residential developments, so aligning with the Conservative pledge to build 200,000 affordable homes by 2020, the permanency of the scheme will give many developers the freedom to continue. However, it is unclear how many dwellings will come from this, given the amount of development having already taken place and the steady increase in demand in the office sector.

Associate Director, Mark Tomlinson of FHP’s Office and Industrial Department, comments:

“The move looks to cater to the demand for student and private apartments in Nottingham, with the local authority seeking to encourage the student and young professional population into the city centre, relieving the outskirts previously occupied by students for family housing. We could see continued conversions of office buildings given this financial stability for developers, who can now continue with their plans, having previously anticipated an end to the temporary legislation for development rights.

However, long term sustainability could come into question with suitable offices for conversion being in finite supply coupled with improved demand for offices and increased take up. Recent findings of the office agents forum shows a steady increase in demand, with take up for the first 3 quarters of 2015 outstripping that of the whole of 2014. Having witnessed an increase in business expansions and relocations, it may only be a matter of time until it becomes more viable to refurbish for office purposes, rather than convert to residential.

Taking into consideration recent trends, we expect office demand to continue, but with the dearth of new development in the city centre, 2016 could be the nadir for office refurbishments which are becoming increasingly viable given reduced void periods, reduced incentives packages and a steady increase in rental values.

Halsbury Travel have recently acquired new premises at Churchill Business Park in the Colwick area of Nottingham expanding further from their existing facility already on the site.  Halsbury Travel, established in 1986 is a school tour operator who have 25 years’ experience arrange school trips to Europe and worldwide.  They have purchased Unit 9 Churchill Park to service their expansion plans for the years ahead following positive growth and positive expectations for their growth potential going forwards.

Mark Tomlinson of FHP Property Consultants commented:-

“Such as the lack of office properties to buy around Nottinghamshire at this time we are finding that we are seeing shorter and shorter marketing periods for this type of business park office.  FHP have now concluded four deals on Churchill Park in the last 18 months and hope to bring further units on to the market on a freehold basis to service this underlying demand for locum companies to purchase their own premises

Since The Lace Market has been dubbed a key part of Nottingham’s Creative Quarter, recently named one of Britain’s Business Environments, various initiatives have been put in place to help stimulate growth. FHP Property Consultants has seen some very positive developments within the area for Landlords and Tenants alike.

Mark Tomlinson, Associate Director at FHP Property Consultants explains:-

“Some years ago there was a distinct mismatch between what occupiers wanted for their office buildings in The Lace Market and the accommodation that was being provided by Landlords. As such, various schemes have undergone substantial refurbishment programs to harness the needs of the Creative Quarter occupiers, including sought-after redevelopments by Spenbeck on Broadway and St Marys Gate in the very heart of The Lace Market.  The option of bespoke fit-outs to prospective tenants has created loft-style creative accommodation designed to the specific needs of each company in a high-quality, modern working environment. These Grade II listed former mill buildings predominantly provide open plan accommodation, retaining many original period features such as the large full height windows and the cast iron stanchions, as well as incorporating previously redundant heating and sprinkler systems into the design of the space.”

Celebrating 35 years of delivering versatile creative space in 2016, Landlords Spenbeck has worked closely with its tenants to accommodate their plans for growth and has recently agreed further creative space expansions with both Insurance Initiatives, who has taken an additional 1,700ft² on site alongside their existing 5,000 ft² within the premises, and Distinction, who has taken further accommodation thanks to Spenbeck’s proactive approach to make it happen for both tenants.

Of the 22,000ft² of creative and office space provided within the Broadway Scheme, only 3 suites totaling some 5,000ft² remain which are available to accommodate either new tenants or the further expansion of the growing successful businesses located in the Spenbeck creative space.

Victoria Green of Landlord Spenbeck comments:

“Having worked hard to keep up with demand for our first phase refurbishment we are delighted that our current tenants have been so keen to stay with us.  With work starting soon on shower facilities and break out space, our second refurbishment phase is enabling us to further enhance the tenant facilities we offer and ensure that a Spenbeck creative space adds real value to its customers”

Demand for creative space in the Lace Market shows little sign of abating.  It is up to landlords to provide the correct accommodation to suit these occupiers and protect their investments going forwards.

FHP Property Consultants have now concluded a letting of ground and first floor suites totalling 12,000ft² by way of a sub-lease to Signalling Solutions Limited (SSL) – who are relocating within the city.  Tim Richardson from FHP comments: “SSL were looking for modern space within Derby and identified the premises as being potentially suitable for their needs. The accommodation provides modern air conditioned space with super-fast broadband and an excellent parking provision. All parties worked together to achieve completion of the sub-lease within a tight timescale.”

Billy Unadkat, FD for Signalling Solutions Limited, adds: “We were looking to relocate to a more modern and pleasant working environment and the extensive fit out previously undertaken by both the landlords and Balfour Beatty made the property particularly appealing.”

FHP have secured a swift letting of a third floor office suite within 4-6 Broadway, Nottingham, to new tenants, Kind, part of the Future Friendly group, on behalf of Landlords, Spenbeck Limited.

The premises fulfilled Kind’s requirements to expand, comprising 1,133 sq ft of high specification offices within Nottingham’s Lace Market. The new tenants have signed a five year lease, after the offices were only recently vacated.

The building sits within the Creative Quarter, offering the prospective tenants the location to suit their business, enabling them to reside amongst other like-minded occupiers in the creative industry.

Suite sizes offered by this type of property have increased in popularity with the rise of the digital economy, according to research from DTZ, which is a style typical of the premises and businesses that reside within Nottingham’s Creative Quarter.

Mat Hayward, Kind Operations Director, comments on the new occupancy:

“We’re delighted with our new office. The bright, open plan space is perfect for us as a strategic digital agency and with plenty of room to expand into it’s also great for our growing business.

This is the first premises we’ve leased as a business and we found Lucinda to be friendly, patient and very professional throughout a process that was very new to us.

We’d highly recommend FHP to anyone in future and will definitely make them our first port of call should we need any more space to expand into.”

Lucinda Hancock, FHP surveyor, comments:

“We knew that this office building offered both the location and ideal suite size to suit Kind’s requirements, enabling us to provide the Kind team with a smooth process in acquiring new premises, and allowing us to conduct a swift letting on behalf of the landlords.

FHP continue to offer great opportunities within the Lace Market and around Nottingham.”

Developers of Ivanhoe Business Park at Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Clowes Developments, plus agents Tim Gilbertson of FHP and Phil Randle of Salloway are delighted to confirm that the next occupier on site will be Woodwards Vets.  A ‘household name’ in Ashby-de-la-Zouch and surrounding areas, Woodwards have take the decision to relocate to purpose built modern facilities to continue their longstanding tradition of fantastic service to their customers and most importantly their animals and the bespoke facility to be constructed at Ivanhoe Business Park will enable them to offer cutting edge care.

Tim Gilbertson of FHP brokered the deal with Matthew Liggins of Musson Liggins who acted on behalf of Woodwards Vets and commented:

“This is great news for Ivanhoe Business Park and brings another hugely well regarded name to the site to complement our various office, industrial and distribution occupiers plus latest new arrivals, Fisher German Surveyors whose new state of the art office will open at the end of the year.

Woodward Vets have been a pleasure to deal with throughout our negotiations and we have no doubt that this new bespoke facility will be a welcome addition to our client’s business park but will also more importantly provide a fantastic base for Woodwards to continue their longstanding service to the owners of animals in Ashby-de-la-Zouch and the surrounding regions.”

David Woodward of Woodward Veterinary Practice Ltd and Matthew Liggins of Musson Liggins Chartered Surveyors who represented Woodward Veterinary Practice throughout the transaction are very pleased to be able to make this announcement about our new surgery:

“It has been our ambition for many years to move the practice to purpose built premises, with the need, firmly in mind, for much better facilities for our patients, clients and staff coupled with improved access and parking, whilst still retaining our independent status.

Working closely and positively with Clowes Developments for more than two years, we have been able to start from scratch and design a purpose built building both to achieve this ambition and, as the principal veterinary practice in Ashby, to cope with present and future demand for veterinary services in and around the town.” 

Ivanhoe Business Park is flying, with buildings being constructed on site and seven further deals currently in solicitor’s hands and it is anticipated that further new occupiers will be announced within the coming days.

However, with 12 acres of land left to develop to meet any industrial, distribution or office occupier’s requirements there is still time to take advantage of this fantastic site and location.

Whilst there has been an impressive take up across the Nottinghamshire market for office buildings, demand appears to have outstripped supply, with Grade A buildings being reduced to few and far between and a complete lack of new development to compensate. As a result is it Mansfield’s time to step in as the competing alternative? Certainly quality buildings are here, with Mansfield offering a host of Grade A buildings at competitive pricing levels.

Due to extensive development prior to the recession, Mansfield stands alone in its ability to boast many great grade A office sites, yet with a lacking demand over previous years, it is quite possibly the time to secure the facilities before the market catches on. Whilst being relatively forgotten in terms of office take up, it seems wholly unjustified; with close links to the M1 which take you within reach of business epicentres such as Derby and Nottingham, Mansfield is situated well for new office developments.

On a purely cost basis, the facts speak for themselves. Comparatively, Mansfield offers the same Grade A facilities at two thirds of the price of its competitor; an equivalent space in Nottingham, J26, would cost £13 per sq ft, whilst Mansfield can provide the same at an average of £8, a significant change from moving just two junctions along on the M1 corridor.

The business environment in the area is also developing. Mansfield has roughly 40% of its population working within C1 graded jobs and above, from the supervisory junior managerial levels, to higher managerial professional jobs, which brings it firmly into the picture for any companies looking to find a fresh place to settle.

There remains office availability at various high-spec developments including Sherwood Oaks Business Park and the i2 Centre on Oakham Business Park, with Grade A office suites ranging from 1,557 to over 8,000 sq ft. They also sit within a secure, landscaped environment and offer on-site car parking at levels which almost embarrass provision offered on business parks around Nottingham City.

With Mansfield offering more Grade A office spaces at lower rates than Nottingham, and with the handy location in-between J28 and J29 of the M1 providing links to other viable cities and potential for accessibility, the office spaces are a prime opportunity waiting to grasped.

BMO Global Investors on behalf of their Clients, FP Life, have recently completed an exceptional refurbishment of 37 Park Row in Central Nottingham to provide a genuine Grade A standard office building.

Attention to detail within the reception and common areas is complemented by LED lighting within the refurbished open plan offices, refurbished WCs and showers and appropriate provision of guest / visitor facilities.

The space has just been unveiled and launched to the market and already detailed discussions are ongoing from a number of parties.

Further information is available by contacting John Proctor at FHP who commented:-

“We have been striving for some time to achieve the level of quality that one sees in virtually every office building in the major regional centres. This is the level of quality that substantial occupiers and regional occupiers now demand.

I appreciate that the recession has held back investment in properties but now we are seeing a return of demand in the office sector and an increase in rental and capital values – now is the time to invest”.
