FHP are very pleased to announce yet another warehouse/industrial deal has completed throughout the lockdown period and Covid.  This sale along with many more industrial transactions being conducted by FHP demonstrates the appetite within this sector and market activity.

The unit was located within the well established industrial location of Calverton Business Park located 8 miles north of Nottingham City Centre and 10 miles from Mansfield town centre.   The unit consisted of a simple steel framed construction with an eaves height of 4.3 metres offering simple warehouse space with two large roller shutter doors, internal offices alongside a gated rear yard.

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP commented:

“This was a great industrial opportunity for an owner occupier or investor.  I received lots of interest from both and due to this had to go from a private treaty sale to an informal tender (best and finals).  FHP worked alongside the purchaser throughout lockdown and Covid to get this transaction through and I am delighted with the result.  The investor since purchasing the property has wasted no time and has already started works refurbishing and splitting the units.

Giles Davis of Geo Hallam & Sons who represented the purchaser commented:

“Our client was keen to secure the premises on Park Road in Calverton which will sit well in their existing portfolio.  The property is currently undergoing a light refurbishment in readiness for marketing and securing a new tenant.

I look forward to working with Anthony and the FHP team on future deals.”

FHP are very pleased to announce that the Former Classic Rewind Building on Park Road in Lenton has now sold. The building had been occupied for many years by Classic Rewinds for commercial purposes but was sold with planning permission to be demolished and converted into 3 town houses.  The building consisted of 3,859ft² on a 0.09 acre site situated just off Castle Boulevard, a 5 minute walk to the City Centre.

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP Property Consultants commented:

“I met with Trevor Norman (owner occupier) over 2 years ago to discuss the options available with his building due to his retirement.   

After understanding the situation and from working through the appraisals I established that converting the building into residential would derive the highest freehold figure and would meet market demand within the area. 

The unit was in a residential location and was a great opportunity for a developer, builder, or investor to convert.  Trevor took my advice and instructed an architect to get the necessary residential consent prior to marketing.  The application was granted, and I proceeded to market this opportunity, which we went on to sell to Isla Investments Limited. 

I am very pleased with the outcome of this sale having advised the client from the very start right through to completion.  I was satisfied the correct advice was given and that I could advise on different strategies to achieve the highest freehold figure opposed to just marketing the site ‘for sale’ as its existing use.” 

Fiona Moore of Rotheras Solicitors represented the vendor and Vik Moothia of Elvin Moore solicitors represented the purchaser.

Empire Interior Contractors Limited have recently completed on the purchase of 7A & 7B, Portland Drive in Shirebrook as their new manufacturing and head office facility.  Empire Contractors specialise in the manufacturing and installation of bespoke joinery and associated products operating nationally and internationally across all sectors.

Units 7A & 7B, Portland Drive consisted of a 10,150ft² unit set on a large secure self contained yard with an eaves height of 4.7 metres ideal for B1, B2 and B8 uses.

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP Property Consultants commented:

“I was very pleased to have been instructed to sell this unit on behalf of a longstanding client of FHP.  After a good marketing campaign, we engaged with Empire Interior Contractors who were a growing local company wanting to expand and purchase their own premises.  FHP worked closely with the vendor and the purchaser throughout lockdown and through combined efforts and cooperation we managed to complete on this 10,150ft² unit.”

Dean Strouther and Luke Pella of Empire Interior Contractors Limited commented:

“Purchasing the property on Portland Drive was our first venture into commercial ownership and was a major stepping stone for our business, a process that was equally rewarding and nerve racking.  With limited knowledge of this process our minds were quickly put at ease with Anthony taking lead of the sale to ensure everything was processed in a timely, yet accurate manner.  Although the sale was during the Covid-19 lockdown, the focus remained, and we were over the moon to complete mid-September and get the transitional process underway.” 

Kirsty Courtney-May of Hopkins Solicitors represented the vendor and Matthew Maiden of Banner Jones Solicitors represented the purchaser.

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP sold the former Boulevard Medical centre on Western Boulevard in Nottingham to Natalie Corpe the owner and founder of The Sage Therapy Centre.

The property was a former residential dwelling converted to a medical centre in 1990 and is arranged over two floors on a prominent road facing plot with a Net Internal Area of 1,389ft².

As soon as the sale completed Natalie and her team commenced works on the building internally and externally to transform the property into a fully furnished high quality treatment and therapy centre.

In total there are 10 rooms in the centre for hire, 5 talk rooms and 5 treatment rooms alongside a beautiful willow garden available for a whole range of outdoor activities.

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP commented:

“I enjoyed the diversity of working on a D1 (Non-Residential Institution) building and finding a suitable buyer, I targeted potential D1 occupiers and through this met Natalie who required a freehold building with a D1 use class to launch this new venture, it was a perfect fit.    

Throughout the negotiating period and legal process all parties worked tirelessly and collectively to push the sale through.”

Natalie Corpe of Sage Therapy Centre comments:

“Anthony was fantastic he worked very hard behind the scenes to ensure all parties hit the completion deadline.  FHP were extremely accommodating when it came to multiple viewings nothing was too much trouble for them.  Communication was faultless, in fact it went above and beyond.  Anthony took a genuine interest into my business and it wasn’t just a sale for them, it felt much more personal.   

The purchase and renovation project has been such a positive experience for me and I’ve learnt so many new skills from it.  It now gives me this wonderful opportunity to supply high end rental space to qualified practitioners.  It also allows the local community to access this amazing support and healing network.  

I really look forward to working with Anthony and FHP again in the future.”
