FHP Property Consultants are delighted to bring to the market the last remaining 4 industrial units on Whyburn Business Park on Wigwam Lane, an already established and popular industrial location in Hucknall, Nottingham.

Phase 1 having recently completed, with Phases 2 and 3 scheduled to be developed offering additional small to medium sized industrial units.

The remaining units in Phase 1 comprise of a mixture of 1,765 sq ft and 2,131 sq ft industrial units with excellent eave heights, good amounts of power/KVA and generous amounts of parking and yard space.  The success of the development so far is evident with occupation nearly at ⅔ with the last 4 units still available in this 9 unit development.

Anthony Barrowcliffe, Surveyor in FHP Property Consultant’s Industrial team comments:

“I very much look forward to working on this scheme in Hucknall on behalf of Total Aggerates Ltd and Total Reclaims Ltd.  I have personally got to know Hucknall well and have had good success in the area, as well as being very active in the small to medium sized industrial sector throughout Nottinghamshire. Whyburn Business Park helping FHP to service this sector of the industrial market even better and helping to fulfil the excellent requirements we have and regularly keep getting in. 

 We look forward to getting this estate to full occupation, then moving on to Phase 2 and 3.”

Amy Howard, Surveyor in FHP Property Consultant’s Industrial team comments:

“It is apparent that there has been a shortage of small to medium sized units and this continues to be the case, especially for new builds. The remaining units on this site and further phases confirmed for development shows promising opportunities for occupiers who are looking to secure warehouse space.  

It is an excellent opportunity for Anthony and I, and I look forward to working alongside Total Aggregates Ltd and Total Reclaims Ltd in securing them some viable tenants.  With the current scarcity of these sized units, I imagine these to spend very little time on the market.”

FHP are pleased to announce the sale of Byron Station House on Baths Lane in Hucknall to Pegasus Hire Limited.  The site consisted of a large residential dwelling with commercial buildings and yard to the rear, an extremely unique site consisting of many elements.

The entire site was circa 0.33 acres and kept excellent company being located next to Hucknall’s tram/train station, Tesco, McDonalds, Aldi, Iceland and other major occupiers.

The vendors had lived in the house and had ran a very successful scaffolding and skip business from the property for many years.  My clients and I always felt the site best suited a commercial use alongside a residential element. During the marketing I conducted over 25 viewings with a huge variety of interest.  After several offers it was decided that the most suitable buyers were Sam and Jeremy Curtis from Pegasus Hire Limited.

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP commented:

“This was an extremely interesting instruction which I thoroughly enjoyed as it entailed vision, open mindedness and options.

Pegasus Hire Limited purchased the site to run their plant and hire business, alongside converting the residential dwelling into apartments.  This we felt suited the site perfectly and their simple, straightforward, unconditional offer, enabled a successful sale.”

The former premises of Environmental Coating (UK) Limited has successfully been sold to Trentside Products Limited.  The unit itself fronted the established industrial location of Hermitage Lane and provided warehouse space alongside internal offices, trade counter and fenced front yard/car park.

Trentside Products offer a full range of upholstery supplies and furniture components to the upholstered furniture market and have been established in the Mansfield area for more than a decade.  This purchase has helped with their rapid expansion and is an ideal location for their business model (staff, client base etc) and has become their new head office.

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP commented:

“I was pleased to have disposed of this unit on behalf of Ray and Victoria Wright allowing them to retire as well as enabling and facilitating Trentside Products expansion.  This sale signifies the end of one highly successful company’s journey to open up the path for another local Mansfield company to have many years of success from this premises.”

I am pleased to announce the sale of Clarence Street in Sneinton to Nottingham Mencap.  The property comprised two buildings which had been combined and were set over three floors.

The premises is located just off Carlton Road in Sneinton, approximately 1 mile north east of Nottingham City Centre close to the Motorpoint Arena, measuring 539.37m² (5,806ft²).

The building was used by the 3D Group UK for storage, manufacturing and distribution on the ground floor and offices/meeting rooms on the first and second floors alongside staff welfare facilities throughout.  The property was in two distinct parts following extensive renovation and upgrading works in 2014/2015 when the property was merged seamlessly to provide attractive storage and office space.  The specification was superb in every way with custom made staircases, air conditioning, roof terraces, full commercial canteen, changing rooms, bi-folding doors, I could go on . . .

Nottingham Mencap, the purchasers, are a self-funded Nottinghamshire charity which was founded in 1950 by a small group of parents who united to establish the right for their disabled children to live independent lives and have the same opportunities as everyone else.  Helping those living with learning difficulties and autism Nottingham Mencap provide a supportive and welcoming space within their community to enable them to develop and maintain relationships and develop skills needed to live healthy, safe and fulfilling lives.

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP commented:

“When I first met the 3D Group UK and they showed me around the property it blew me away in terms of internal fit out, specification, quality and the high standard of finishings throughout.  No expense was spared in what they thought was their forever home.  Every inch of the building was utilised and bursting at the seams and reluctantly the 3D Group UK were having to relocate due to their incredible expansion and outgrowing this space.  

Nottingham Mencap is a wonderful charity and I was so pleased that terms could be agreed to allow the 3D Group UK to move into their much bigger new unit, and for Nottingham Mencap to move into Clarence Street which met their needs and support their expansion. 

This was a great transaction to be involved with, in an area I am very active in and believe is up and coming for industrial, office and residential property.”

I am delighted to have been recognised for my hard work and commitment to serving Industrial Landlords across the East Midlands and securing so many tenants and purchasers.”

Chris Proctor, Associate Director commented:

“The growth of the industrial sector was clear to see in 2021 with a number of businesses in online retailing, e-commerce, third party logistics, pharmaceutical and manufacturing taking up record levels of space. We are now heading into 2022 with very limited vacant space on the market and a vast amount of speculative development underway that is due to complete between the next 3 to 18 months.

FHP are pleased to announce this successful transaction, which involved a letting, option to purchase and business sale, all wrapped up into one negotiation/agreement.  The entire site comprised of an MOT workshop, motorcycle testing facility, yard/car park, first floor offices, retail shop (Swit Swoo Fashion Boutique) and two bedroom apartment.

This off-market transaction involved putting together several elements and allows Lindleys Auto Centres to keep on growing, this branch taking them to branch number 9 and is being the start of their journey in Kirkby in Ashfield.

Anthony Barrowcliffe of FHP commented:

“I met with my client Tim Horton several months prior to marketing the unit and provided him with a full marketing report to arm him with all the facts and disposal strategies.  At the time he was in discussions with national agents who were not bringing forward any credible offers or interest. 

During that time I was completing a letting to Lindleys Auto Centres on Daleside Road in Nottingham and know their agent, Sean Bremner of CPP, very well.  I knew their desire to open new centres, and expand, so I made a phone call to Sean and we exchanged several emails.  Several months later this off-market transaction was concluded resulting in a happy client and enabling a fantastic local family business to carry on their successful expansion. 

I enjoy conducting off-market transactions like this and trying to put all the jigsaw pieces together by understanding my market and the requirements out there especially within my patch/locality”.   

Alex Lindley of Lindleys Auto Centres commented:

“Branch number 9 and two new sites to round off an incredible 2021 for the team.  We really wanted to expand into Kirkby and it gives us great pleasure to have acquired Kirkby Motor Services which we took over on 4 January 2022.  All the current staff have been retained and the usual Lindleys quality workmanship, customer service and fair pricing will be offered.  We can’t wait to start our journey in Kirkby in Ashfield.”

Due to high demand in recent months, Northwood Urban Logistics now has just two units (one 10,488 sq ft unit and one 3,250 sq ft unit) remaining at its Trent Gateway scheme.

Recent deals, brokered by JLL and FHP, have included Tekled, Conker Bespoke Furniture Ltd, and Europadisc. They join a range of other established businesses based on the 18-unit industrial site, including RSK Group and BW Flexible Systems.

Demand for logistics real estate in the East Midlands is on an upward trajectory, according to the leasing agents of Trent Gateway.

JLL’s own research has revealed that the industrial property sector is being driven by increasing demands on ecommerce and express parcel delivery, as well those requiring third-party logistics and healthcare and life sciences. Yet, suitable land and planning permission for new units is currently in short supply.

Trent Gateway is especially sought after due to its impressive green credentials, with features such as electric vehicle charging points; increased natural lighting and a low permeability design. The scheme also ensures a c.18.8% decrease in CO2 emissions over 2013 Building Regulations.

Gemma Constantinou, industrial director at JLL East Midlands, said: 

“The uplift in demand for space within the East Midlands reflects the wider trend visible across the sector regionally and globally. Our own research has shown that 74% people in the sector are expecting growth in the next five years but equally struggle to secure the facilities required. Nottingham continues to experience this robust demand with limited new build Grade A options. Trent Gateway has benefited from having quality units, in a great location with enviable green credentials.” 

Iain Taylor, Director at Northwood Urban Logistics said: 

‘’We are very pleased to welcome our latest occupiers to the scheme. Trent Gateway is able to accommodate a wide range of occupiers who will be able to adapt the units for a variety of uses’’.

Anthony Barrowcliffe, Surveyor at FHP said: 

‘’The marketplace is starved of excellent quality industrial units like Trent Gateway and due to this we have experienced great success with only two units remaining but with several active conversations taking place on these remaining units’’.

Situated within Beeston Business Park and just one mile outside of Beeston town centre, Trent Gateway is perfectly located for staff amenities and being just 1.3 miles from the A52 makes it’s a much sought-after location.

For further information on the remaining units, please contact either Gemma Constantinou of JLL, or alternatively, Mark Tomlinson of FHP Property Consultants.
