FHP Property Consultants acting on behalf of clients are delighted to announce two office lettings in West Bridgford.

86 Melton Road has been let to Este Medical Group Ltd, one of the UK’s leading skin and hair specialists offering healthcare and cosmetic treatments. The prominent, self-contained property has recently undergone a transformational refurbishment by its new owner and extends to over 1,700 square feet and will add to their growing portfolio of clinics in Birmingham, Leeds, London and Istanbul.

Sam Cinkir, of Este Medical Group Ltd commented;

“We are delighted to be opening in Nottingham to service the many clients from the East Midlands who already travel to our clinic in Birmingham. This was an obvious move for our company and one we are extremely excited about.”

Suite I, The Point has been snapped up by Balance: Wealth Planning Ltd, an award winning financial planning experts who have been based in the area for a number of years. Forming part of this prominent and striking building, this modern office suite extends to circa 1,400 square feet with the added benefit of an outside terrace area.

Rebecca Aldridge, of Balance: Wealth Planning Ltd commented;

“We are so pleased to have found our home here at The Point. Now that we’ve made it our own, the bright and airy space means we have a very peaceful working environment. Our team have settled in already and our clients have all enjoyed their planning discussions with us as they take in the beautiful view of the suspension bridge over the River Trent.”

Both deals achieved rents of circa £16 per square foot, demonstrating an increase in rental values in the area, with previous lettings of this nature up until only recently generally achieving a ceiling of £15 per square foot – a percentage increase of just over 6%.

Thomas Szymkiw, of FHP’s Office Agency Team generally puts this down to both a high demand and a lack of supply in the area;

“West Bridgford is of course well known as one of Nottingham’s premier residential locations and most affluent suburbs, however increasingly we are seeing office occupiers also favouring the area over the more traditional office locations such as the City Centre and out of town Business Parks. The offices in the area tend to come with better parking provisions, have good transport links and are close to fantastic retail and leisure offerings – all which seem to be deciding factors for occupiers when choosing West Bridgford as the right location for their business”.

FHP are currently instructed to market two other offices in West Bridgford and would be delighted to hear from anyone else who may also be interested in securing a new office the area;

The Coach House, North Road – a quaint self-contained period office building measuring just under 1,000 square feet with car parking to the front for up to 5 vehicles.

Suite H, The Point – a sister suite to Suite I, this stunning office extends to circa 3,700 square feet and offers fantastic views over West Bridgford with under croft secure parking.

For further information on either of these lettings, or to discuss any of your property requirements in further detail please do not hesitate to contact Thomas Szymkiw on 0115 841 1159 or thomas@fhp.co.uk.

I am delighted to announce that we have now completed on office 1 & 3 Adams Court in Basford. This small office courtyard comprises of five separate self-contained offices set over two floors with excellent security and parking provisions.  The courtyard is self-contained with both units having B1 (Business) and D1 (Non-Residential) use classes, suitable for both office and educational purposes, sizes vary from 1,848ft² to 2,450ft².

Through extensive marketing I am very pleased that FHP were able to agree leases with Game Set & Match for Office 1 and Choice Support for Office 3.

Game Set & Match Limited are specialists in the production of promotional game cards for a broad range of clients through the UK and Europe, and Choice Support are a national charity supporting people with autism, learning disabilities and mental health needs.

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP comments:

“Two great leases completed in quick succession, with excellent terms agreed, this clearly demonstrating that there is still a clear demand for self-contained offices outside of the City Centre. Due to the most recent success at Adams Court I remain positive that we can achieve full occupancy, with only 2 offices remaining.  If you are considering relocating in 2019, I would be delighted to discuss the available options at Adams Court.”

For further information on how FHP can help with the sale or letting of your commercial property, or for assistance helping you find the right property to meet your requirements, please do not hesitate to contact FHP.  We also offer a variety of other services to both landlord and tenant such as reducing your business rate liability, or assisting with upcoming lease events such as lease renewals or rent reviews.

FHP Property Consultants, are delighted to have agreed both the sale of 1 and letting of 4, Meadowbank Way, Eastwood to HSP Consulting Engineers Ltd and UK Performance Doorsets Ltd respectively.

Both properties extend to over 4,000 square feet and provide good quality office accommodation over two floors with reception, kitchen and W.C facilities and benefit from substantial parking provisions. The site is also located in conveniently close to junction 26 of the M1 motorway and also the amenities that Eastwood town centre has to offer.

Thomas Szymkiw of FHP who agreed both disposals commented;

“To be able to agree two office deals in Eastwood within quick succession is really rewarding – considering that more than often, out of town locations such as this are sometimes over looked by occupiers for the established business parks closer to the city centre. HSP really hit it lucky as they were already occupying next door, which we managed to also subsequently let on their behalf – so a bit of a success story really!”

Howard Pratt, Managing Director of HSP Consulting Engineers Ltd commented;

“After doubling our turnover over the past two years and expanding our team here substantially, we had a requirement for larger premises – however wanted to stay in the locality after being established here a number of years.”

“The property provides us with the extra office space we required for our business and in the right location for our team – with the added benefit of substantial car parking facilities that you just can’t find anywhere else. So of course, when the property came up for sale, we decided to pursue it.”

“Thomas was instrumental in pushing the sale and letting of our old premises through and I would like to thank him for both his patience and negotiation skills throughout the process.” 

For further information on both the letting and sale of the above premises, or to discuss any property requirement in further detail, please do not hesitate to contact Thomas Szymkiw of FHP on 07896 035 805 or thomas@fhp.co.uk.

Acting on behalf of Clients of BMO Real Estate FHP have negotiated the new lease being taken by University of Law at One Royal Standard Place.

This is the largest letting in Central Nottingham since 2015 and a genuine Inward Investment bringing a new occupier who will strengthen the depth of the legal profession within the City by providing both Graduate and Post Graduate courses and forging strong partnerships with the legal community regionally.

As always it is a pleasure working alongside our Joint Agents, JLL, and concluding the transaction with Mark Kleinman at James Andrew International who acted on behalf of University of Law.

FHP Property Consultants, are delighted to have agreed the sale of the 88 – 90 North Sherwood Offices to YSHB Properties Ltd for £475,000.  The property comprises 3,986 ft² of good quality self-contained office space with parking situated close to both Nottingham City Centre and Nottingham Trent University.

Thomas Szymkiw, of FHP’s Office Team who agreed the sale on behalf of the vendors commented;

“I was pleased to have the opportunity of marketing a freehold office in Nottingham City Centre – a real rarity in the market and therefore interest was high from both an owner occupier’s and student residential perspective. I achieved a good capital value for my clients and the property was perfect for facilitating the purchaser’s expansion plans – therefore a good deal all round!”  

Alan Boyden, one of the vendors commented;

“Thomas, a personal note of thanks for your patience, negotiation skills and time in putting this deal to bed. A great job well done!”

For further information on this sale, or to discuss your property requirements in further detail please do not hesitate to contact Thomas Szymkiw on 0115 841 1159 or alternatively, thomas@fhp.co.uk.

FHP Property Consultants are pleased to have been brought in as joint agents alongside Innes England in the marketing of this landmark office building.

Pentagon House occupies a very prominent location fronting Sir Frank Whittle Road (A61) close to the Pentagon Island.  This is a major intersection within the City linking the inner ring road, A52, and A61 which in turns leads to the A38 dual carriageway.  Road connections in and around the City are therefore excellent, and complemented by the fact that the property has a very high level of car parking, with one space per 185ft².

The suites currently available range from 3,018 – 6,765ft², with additional space coming available later in the year which enables a total of 11,942ft² to be provided.

The space is finished to an excellent standard including recently fitted LED lighting and air conditioning systems.  Double glazing, blinds, tea points, showers and wcs are all within the suites, plus comms room and datacabling, separately controllable VRV air conditioning heating and cooling, access control system.

Pentagon House has a manned reception, with informal meeting area, visitor parking, 24/7 access and bike store.

The property is owned by Loxton Developments, who are a privately owned hands on and proactive landlord who maintain a good relationship with their tenants.

Tim Richardson from FHP Property Consultants comments:

“The property was originally built as a headquarters for Williams Holdings and was finished to a very high specification being for their own use.  It has since been upgraded by our clients to include superfast broadband, new LED lighting with warranties, new air conditioning systems for each suite and offers a very high quality space ready for occupation.  We would encourage any parties looking for space in Derby to take a look at this building and see for themselves the facilities on offer.”

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

One of the features of the market over the last couple of years has been the acute shortage of good quality freehold office premises available to buy.  With build costs pushing up the price of new build premises, modern second hand buildings represent excellent value for money.  Compared to renting, buying an office property either directly or through a pension fund, can provide a very cost effective way of securing premises, frequently with repayments less than the equivalent rent and of course ownership of the building at the end.

FHP Property Consultants are pleased to be able to offer 2 very well located modern buildings to buy.

At Vernon Gate in Derby, we are able to offer a 3 storey premises of 1,635ft² in an excellent established office development with generous onsite parking, walking distance of the City Centre yet adjacent to the inner ring road and available to buy at a guide of £275,000.

Alternatively at Key Point Office Village, Alfreton, we have a well located end terrace modern building of 1,340ft² within a courtyard development, having excellent access to the A38 dual carriage way linking Derby to Junction 28 of the M1. This is available to buy at a guide of £180,000.

Tim Richardson from FHP Property Consultants comments:

 “I would certainly encourage anyone looking for office space to look at buying.  It puts you in control and provides a long term investment, either as an owner occupier business or leasing it to the business.  If you have a requirement for office space, or are looking for an investment in the region then please do get in touch.”

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

Benefiting from one of the best quality fit outs in the market today, Unit 1, Ivanhoe Business Park has just been let by Tim Gilbertson at FHP on behalf of a private pension fund to expanding local company Optimised Buildings.

This fantastic building became available following the expansion and relocation of Wilson Vale, one of the leading privately-owned contract catering companies in the country.

Forming part of Ivanhoe Business Park at Ashby-de-la-Zouch this building was originally constructed a number of years ago and has been maintained in exemplary order by the pension fund owners throughout.  The benefit of this excellent maintenance and presentation meant that we were offering probably the finest available space in the region which has subsequently seen it quickly snapped up by expanding local company Optimised Buildings.

Tim Gilbertson of FHP who dealt with the letting commented:

“Ivanhoe Business Park has been a success from day one.  Originally developed by Clowes Group, we act on their behalf and concluded any number of deals on the park to cover almost all property sectors.

The latest deal is actually on one of the first phases of units on the park where the former occupier had vacated, and the owners had quite correctly advocated high-quality presentation and maintenance throughout the former occupier’s lease, which meant that we had superb space to offer to the market when the building became vacant.

This presentation has undoubtedly helped us secure our new occupier, Optimised Buildings, who have relocated from secondary space in Ashby to take advantage of the wonderful location and fantastic accommodation we had on offer here.

Optimised Buildings have been a pleasure to deal with throughout and we look forward to hearing of their continued success and expansion over the coming years.

We had two other parties interested in this building and therefore we are keen to replenish stock levels in the New Year across not only the office sector but all others in the region as Ashby is real ‘hotspot’ for demand and we have any number of potential tenant’s or owner occupiers lined up ready for space as soon as we can find and make available good opportunities.”

Managing Director of Optimised Buildings, Gary Bark, commented: 

“We make commercial buildings energy efficient through the optimisation of HVAC and Building Management Systems via advanced analytics and energy monitoring software combined with our local team of bureau engineers and analysts.  This facility not only provides great accommodation for our growing team, but also enables us to showcase to new clients how we manage buildings throughout the UK providing delivering typical energy savings of 8-10% from existing assets and systems.  This is a step change for us, but one that has been presented at the right time and in the right location and are excited about the future opportunities this will help us generate.”

Tim Gilbertson concluded by adding:

“It is great to see 2019 start with such a successful deal and whilst there remains turmoil in the country as a whole we are still seeing strong demand for rental and purchase opportunities throughout the region in the office, industrial and distribution sectors.

Stock levels remain our bigger issue and I would be delighted to discuss the potential marketing of any such space throughout the Midlands with clients both old and new and I can be contacted on 0115 9507577/ tim@fhp.co.uk.

Anthony Cork, Director of Gleeds in Nottingham, confirmed:-

“Gleeds have been searching for a suitable home for our Nottingham business for some time and by acquiring the building at Apex we are delighted to have been able to bring our teams together in one location.  We have worked with FHP who have supported us in acquiring the additional space which has enabled us to undertake an extensive refurbishment of both properties to provide state of the art workspace for all of our staff with excellent links to the City Centre”.

Gleeds have seen consistent growth across their project management and asset management arms in recent years providing advice for an increasing number of Clients in the UK and abroad from their East Midlands base.  This sustained success led to Gleeds seeking new premises.

Thomas, a personal note of thanks for your patience, negotiation skills and time in putting this deal to bed. A great job well done!

Physio Needs are an established and expanding group of Physiotherapy Practices, that now boasts clinics around Nottingham, Rushcliffe, West Bridgford, Heanor and most recently Cotgrave.  Established since 1982, Physio Needs have been in operation for over 37 years offering a very hands on service from experienced physiotherapists.

The Cotgrave Business Hub comprises a series of fully refurbished first floor office suites conceived by Rushcliffe Borough Council.  These self contained suites have been refurbished to a great specification providing LED lighting, Cat 5 cabling, air conditioning, lift access, intercom systems, kitchen, WC facilities, and ample levels of car parking.  The offices measure in at 55m² (600ft²) and are offered on flexible lease terms at just over £8 per ft² with incentives available.

James Tomlinson of Physio Needs comments:

“We are delighted to be in our brand-new facility at the Cotgrave Business Hub, we hope the new clinic setting will enhance our patients experience and welcome new custom.”

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP comments:

“Physio Needs are an experienced hands on physiotherapist with multiple practices throughout Nottinghamshire and I am delighted they have taken occupation at the newly refurbished Cotgrave Business Hub.

We started with 9 self-contained suites at the Cotgrave Business Hub and we have managed to let 6, only leaving 3 remaining suites vacant and available, this clearly demonstrating the success of this project done by Rushcliffe Borough Council.”

For further information on these lettings, or to see how FHP can help with the sale or letting of your property, or to provide assistance helping you to find the right property to meet your requirements, please do not hesitate to contact Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP on 0115 841 1148 or anthony@fhp.co.uk.

Back to back office lettings done at Malin Hill located in the heart of the Lace Market in the Creative Quarter of Nottingham.

Lettings now complete and tenants in occupation in offices 5 & 13 with office 11 now officially under offer, this clearly showing the clear demand for small to medium sized self-contained offices within the City Centre.

Office 5 Malin Hill was let to Octopus Intelligence a global intelligence company, and Inbetween a creative design agency. Office 13 was let to Sheppard Developments Ltd a property development and management company.

I experienced high levels of demand for these offices during the marketing process and was thrilled that relatively quick deals could be done on both 5 and 13, this demonstrating that there is still a clear demand in the market place for this kind of self-contained office space, which is great to see especially with the amount of serviced office options now available within the city.

The offices at Malin Hill are all self-contained and have open plan layouts, majority having gone through a full refurbished before marketing.  I believe the reason we achieved the success we have was due to the offices presenting very well, being priced correctly and offering occupier’s a secure space within the city centre on flexible terms.

Graeme Dixon of Octopus Intelligence comments;

“Malin Hill is a great location and size for a business like ours to manage our global intelligence teams. We were keen to find a facility as an extension to our brand. Attention to detail, modern, clean, straight talking and extremely high quality. This office will allow us to expand to a similar premise when needed. 

 Joanna Blaxill founder of Inbetween comments;

“We started with a blank canvas and Malin Hill provides the perfect space and location allowing us to create an inspirational space for creative minds to flourish”.

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP Property Consultants commented;

“I am delighted that these deals have now completed, especially in such a competitive market place where serviced offices are becoming more and more popular.  This proves a point that this type of space is still required and if priced correctly, offered on flexible terms, and marketed properly, real success can be achieved with small self-contained office space within Nottingham. The smaller offices providing a great base for small start up’s, and up and coming firms wanting to take occupation within the city centre”.

For further information on these lettings or to see how we can help with the sale or letting of your property, or for FHP to provide assistance helping you to find the right property to meet your requirement, please get in touch and we would be pleased to advise you on this or other options available.  For further information please do not hesitate to contact Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP on 0115 841 1148 or anthony@fhp.co.uk.

Mark and Thomas, I just wanted to take this opportunity of expressing my gratitude for the fantastic support that you have both provided over many years, leading up to the sale of The Park offices in Nottingham. It has been an absolute pleasure working with you and I have never experienced anything other than a professional, friendly, efficient and productive service relating to property matters. You’ve performed outstandingly and consistently and I hope that we will have the opportunity of working together in the future. I certainly wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else should I need commercial property advice in Nottingham.

A new serviced office provider launched in the City in the summer.  Nurton Developments have refurbished ground floor space Cardinal Square for their Flexibase concept, which is finished to an excellent standard providing fully fitted space and use of a communal coffee and breakout area off the manned reception.

This has been so successful that the first phase is now full and our clients will shortly be starting fitout works to provide additional space.

Tim Richardson from FHP Property Consultants comments:

“When people walk through the front door at Flexibase they are blown away by the quality of space and facilities.  Everyone knows Cardinal Square is the big blue building at the junction of the inner ring road and the A52 but its only when they step inside that they begin to appreciate the offices that are on offer here.

There are a range of office sizes, which come complete with desks, chairs, cupboards, phones and access to the superfast broadband.  The common areas are covered by wifi so you can enjoy a change of scenery in the coffee area or courtyard garden and stay connected”.

The agents will be pleased to discuss as the building can accommodate requirements from 200ft² – 30,000ft².

Joint agents on the scheme are FHP Property Consultants on 01332 343 222 and Rigby & Co on 01332 203 377.

Exposed period features, high ceilings, large windows, fully air conditioned, a location in the hub of creativity, Radford Accessories have leased new offices at 39 Stoney Street following a phased refurbishment of the building by the Landlords over the last 18 months, working alongside FHP Property Consultants.

Mark Tomlinson, of FHP Property Consultants commented:

“We are working on a number of buildings within Nottingham City Centre to provide this stripped back industrial style office space and I am very pleased with the result at 39 Stoney Street, following similar projects at Fothergill House on King Street, 37 Stoney Street and the Imperial Buildings on Victoria Street.

“Working collaboratively with the Landlords and Office Innovations, Radford Accessories have created a fantastic working for their creative teams and will undoubtedly attract further talent to the business in part through the style of space and the location in the heart of Nottingham’s Lace Market.”

Tim Richardson from FHP property Consultants comments:

“Darley Stables and Bakehouse have been refurbished to an excellent standard and The Bakehouse being a standalone building suited the proposed use perfectly.  The very pleasant location on the edge of Darley Park is also ideal for this type of use.

Other occupiers within the complex include a Pilates studio, physiotherapist and dance school”.

Sarah Clowes from House of Beauty comments:

“‘As a growing business we were delighted to relocate to the Bakehouse in the Stable Yard at Darley Abbey. The premises afford us a very high standard of accommodation whilst the setting provides the privacy which our clients expect. We look forward to spending many years there”.

Dr Tanya Spilsbury from DAS Sanctuary comments:

“It was great to find a new use that complements the other occupiers at Darley Abbey Stables so well. House of Beauty offers a professional and personal service which fits perfectly with the quality of the historic building conversion and the peacefulness of the parkland setting.”

Joint agents on this scheme were FHP Property Consultants and Innes England.

Castlebridge Office Village is one of Nottingham’s success stories in the office sector over the past two years demonstrating the results that a quality refurbishment and proactive asset management strategy can have in proving sustained demand within the office sector within Nottingham.

Built in the late 1980s Castlebridge provides a 16 unit office campus of some 36,000ft² in Castle Marina on the fringe of the Nottingham City Centre.

The campus became the HQ of Dollar Finance who occupied all but two of the units up until two years ago, vacating all of the properties on a phased basis.

Active refurbishment providing Grade A offices to a high standard and attention to detail with the landscaping and common areas has transformed Castlebridge which is now 100% let following the final unit being occupied by MYA Clinics – Unit 5 and 6, a self contained building of 2,185ft².

The entire refurbishment and asset management strategy was coordinated by FHP’s Agency and Management Teams who again in 2018 were recognised as the most active agents within the office sector within this region.

FHP are actively looking for similar opportunities for Private Clients to purchase properties with short leases and in need of refurbishment to implement similar strategies and are working on a number of similar schemes throughout the region, an example being Interchange 25 where a similar strategy has led to virtual full occupancy and enhanced rents in the scheme adjacent to Junction 25.

The continued demand for Mercury Place in Central Leicester has been demonstrated by a creative asset management play completed by FHP Nottingham in conjunction with Gerald Eve as Managing Agents / Asset Managers of Mercury Place, the former Leicester Mercury Headquarters in Central Leicester.

Terms were agreed to take a surrender of part of the third floor from Amec Woodford and through negotiation a pre-letting was agreed to Imperial Corporate Events who are relocating from Charles Street in Leicester to make Mercury Place their new headquarters.

The letting of 8,180ft² with 16 car parking spaces is for a ten year lease incorporating a five year break.

Refurbishment of part of the ground floor is ongoing and FHP are just launching to the market a 2,900ft² suite which is fully refurbished.

FHP’s John Proctor concluded negotiations on behalf of HPPUT with the deal being agreed with James Phillips of APB who acted on behalf of Imperial.

“Trent Education Centre were seeking a large floor plate close to the City Centre to accommodate their growing student numbers and this opportunity fitted the bill perfectly”.
