“The process from initial marketing through to the successful sale of the unit, was handled in a very efficient and professional manner by FHP. We are extremely pleased with the result in what is clearly a challenging market place in the office sector.

My special thanks to Amy for her tenacity and enthusiasm throughout the process, the regular updates of the marketing and enquiries was reassuring to see the unit was being handled well. We would highly recommend FHP for their professionalism and personal approach throughout.”

FHP are delighted to have completed on the sale of Unit 17 Maisies Way, South Normanton to an owner occupier known as Secur-It. The property comprised 8,289ft² of self-contained office accommodation situated across two floors offering a mixture of open plan and cellular floorplates throughout the property. Situated just off Junction 28 of the M1 Motorway, the property provides excellent connectivity and Mansfield Town Centre within a short distance drive.

Maisies Way is an office development scheme with a variety of sizes available with self-contained access and ample parking. The Village is within a few minutes’ drive of East Midlands Designer Outlet and Castlewood Business Park which anchors a variety of national and regional occupiers providing over 1.5 million sq. ft. of distribution and production space.

Amy Howard, Surveyor at FHP Property Consultants commented:

“It was a great result to get this over the line for my client and secure a strong price on the property. Unit 17 had been on the market for some time and even though we explored several marketing options such as leasehold / freehold disposal and renting individual floors, interest was slow. Secur-It were after a good level of office space near J28, and this property seemed perfect for their requirement. After the initial viewing, it was clear the property was suitable for them and we were under offer within a short timeframe following on from this.

The property highlighted the difficulty we face within the office market, especially on larger floor plate within out-of-town office locations. It is evident that marketing is essential in the disposal of these types of properties and exploring all options available to secure a tenant / purchaser. After the initial interest was slow on the rental side, it emphasized the push for a purchaser, especially given the vacancy period my client was facing.

I am delighted to have got this over the line and welcome Secur-It onto Maisies Way, they will be a great asset to the estate and I wish them all the best in their next endeavours.”

Our retained client, commented:

FHP are pleased to have completed the letting of the first floor at Unit 5 Interchange 25 Business Park to Equans Ltd. Interchange 25 Business Park comprises a development of eight self-contained detached office buildings providing high quality office specification throughout, with a variety of occupiers including Ait IT, Nurture Fertility, GPA Global, Keepmoat Homes and more. The business park is situated with excellent connectivity to the M1 motorway, just off J25 and the A52 which connects Nottingham and Derby.

Equans Ltd are the newest occupier to the scheme, securing a first floor suite comprising 2,071ft² of high quality open plan office accommodation with ample car parking spaces. Equans Ltd expressed interest from their initial viewing which quickly resulted in an offer and solicitors instructed, a great result for all parties involved. Interchange 25 has been a popular estate over the years with strong tenants throughout the site and is accessible to both Nottingham and Derby locations.

Amy Howard, Surveyor at FHP Property Consultants commented:

“After a slow start with initial interest, it was a great result to secure Equans on the first floor offices. It was evident that the demand for the whole space of circa 4,000ft² was limited following on from a few viewings that resulted in no offers on the property. We therefore looked at different options to secure full occupancy. The out-of-town office market continued to show a strong level of demand between the 2,000ft² and 2,500ft² size bracket, which resulted in us changing our marketing approach and offering both the whole space and on a floor-by-floor basis.

Once we added the additional availability options, it resulted in several further viewings and we secured Equans Ltd. Equans were a delight to work alongside from the start and they will be an excellent addition to the park.

Securing a tenant for the ground floor space is a priority for us in order to achieve full occupancy for our client, interest remains strong so we are hopeful to achieve this over the course of the next few weeks.”

The ground floor office suite remains available at Unit 5, comprising 2,071ft² with a fully fitted out kitchen, open plan floor plates and high quality office specification throughout. The suite also benefits from eight designated car parking spaces, self-contained WC facilities and an intercom system. We are currently quoting £31,250 per annum on a new FRI lease for a number of years to be agreed.

For further information on the availability at Interchange 25 Business Park, please feel free to give me a call on 07887 787 894 or alternatively you can email me at amy.howard@fhp.co.uk.

FHP are delighted to have finalised on the remaining two units in Beeston.  Situated on Evelyn Street Industrial Estate, a popular location approximately 4.1 miles Southwest of Nottingham City Centre, benefitting from excellent transport links with the NET Tram Route and Beeston Railway Station nearby.  Both units comprised circa 5,500ft² of clear span warehouse / industrial space benefitting from office and ancillary areas.

In order to achieve an attractive rental figure and set a new headline rent throughout Evelyn Street Industrial Estate, our client carried out a refurbishment on all three remaining units to secure an attractive rental of £8.00 per ft², a great tone to set going forward on this scheme.  Initial interest in the units was slower than anticipated, although over time it was evident that the desire and need for circa 5,000ft² units had shifted and increased, generating a number of enquiries leading to several offers brought forward on both units.

Mission Room Ltd and Vaunt Design Ltd are the latest occupiers to secure a unit on Evelyn Street, with a further deal being agreed by our joint agents CPP, Sean Bremner for Unit 37.

Amy Howard, Surveyor at FHP Property Consultants commented:

“It was a great result to get both of these deals over the line for our client.  After a slow start with interest, it was certainly challenging, but this quickly changed with an increase in enquiries and all three units going under offer within two months of each other. Securing a new headline rent for the site was also a positive for our client and further highlights the industrial market rental tones rising due to limited stock availability. Secondary industrial units of this size bracket are achieving £8.00 to £8.50 per ft², it is evident there is limited availability of units within this size range as demand still continues to be on the rise.

Both Vaunt Design Ltd and Mission Room Ltd worked with our client from initial discussions and developed a landlord-tenant relationship which is key to driving deals across the line. It was a delight to work alongside both tenants and I wish them all the best in their future endeavours.”

Sean Bremner, Director at CPP commented:

“Great to see Evelyn Street back to 100% occupancy.  Working alongside FHP, we advised our clients on the essential refurbishment works and they have been rewarded for their investment.  Enquiry levels got stronger with multiple parties pressing to secure the final unit, reinforcing the growth in the rental tone.   A fantastic result for the estate.”

As highlighted above, we continue to see a strong level of enquiries within the 4,000ft² to 6,000ft² range of industrial units.  If you currently own an industrial unit and are exploring the possibility of generating some income, please feel free to give me a call to discuss this in further depth on 07887 787 894 or alternatively, you can email me at amy.howard@fhp.co.uk.

FHP are pleased to confirm that a deal has completed between their client and EHL Solicitors on the letting of 8 Forest Road, Loughborough. The property comprised a semi-detached self-contained two storey period office building across cellular accommodation with excellent car parking facilities to the rear of the property. 8 Forest Road was located in a prominent position fronting Forest Road, just south of Loughborough town centre that was well served by a plethora of amenities and transport links.

It generated a good level of enquiries from the commencement of the marketing, given the lack of available stock within Loughborough and we secured a high level of viewings on the property. Alongside receiving a number of offers on the property in which our clients were delighted with.

Our retained client, commented:

“Amy and her Team at FHP have provided exceptional service and support throughout. Always proactive and supportive in dealing with the many questions we asked.  We have no hesitation in recommending them for all commercial property matters.  Very pleased indeed and many thanks too”.

Amy Howard, surveyor at FHP Property Consultants commented:

“It was a great result to finally get this letting over the line and the new occupier to be handed over the keys. The level of interest we received on the property portrays the demand for office stock within Loughborough is high although there is limited availability within the market. The ample parking available within the demise was certainly an attractive feature upon the marketing, something that is typically limited. Rents across Loughborough remain competitive, and we achieved a good result for our client, in which they were delighted with.

If you are currently occupying office space within Loughborough and looking to explore your options to vacate. Either by looking to surrender your lease early or sub-let, please feel free to get in touch with FHP Property Consultants so we can further advise on your potential options.

Alternatively, if you are a landlord looking to rent or sell office space, this is something we would be happy to assist with disposing and securing you the best possible deal going forward”.

The suite generated a strong level of enquiries from the commencement of the marketing, and we managed to achieve a strong headline rent going forward for 55 Maid Marian Way.  It is evident that there is continued demand for high quality office space within the City Centre and refurbishments are being pushed in order to generate more Grade A office supply.

Amy Howard, Surveyor at FHP Property Consultants commented:

“It was an excellent result getting this over the line, and we are pleased to achieve a new headline rent for our client. We advised our client on a high quality refurbishment to meet with the ever changing demands of office occupier’s needs. The level of interest we received further highlights this and the need for landlords to adapt to occupier’s preferences.

It was great to assist both my client and Metric Search Ltd on this deal, especially as we managed to get the deal agreed early on in the marketing period.   All parties worked together to achieve completion in a swift timeline, that coincided well with completion of the landlord refurbishment works.  I wish Metric Search Ltd all the best in their new premises.”

Zac Flint, Director of Finance at Metric Search Ltd, commented:

“FHP provided us with access to multiple properties across Nottingham in the search for our new office space, and understood the requirements we were looking for which ultimately helped us get the right property with 55 Maid Marian Way.  Their portfolio of properties and knowledge of the local area is second to none and I would recommend them for your next move or if you are interested in information on quality office space within the Nottingham City Centre.”

Rhys Jones, Asset Manager at Clearbell, commented:

“The refurbishment works at 55 Maid Marian Way have completely transformed the property.  Metric Search are a great new occupier for the property and they complement the current tenants currently in occupation, and will no doubt thrive in their new space.

FHP have been excellent throughout the letting period, and their assistance has been key to securing an ideal new tenant for the space. Both Amy Howard and Mark Tomlinson have been professional throughout and updated us regularly on both the letting and legals period.  We look forward to continuing working alongside them and highly recommend their service”.

FHP Property Consultants are pleased to bring to market Unit 7 Chase Park, which consists of a two storey office building suitable for both hybrid and office use. The property is available on both leasehold and freehold options and it benefits from excellent access to both Nottingham City Centre, West Bridgford and Colwick providing a plethora of amenities. The former hybrid unit has a level loading access door installed on the ground floor providing the opportunity to reinstate it to warehouse space. Alternatively, the ground floor has recently undergone a refurbishment providing good quality office space, with additional open plan office space on the first floor. It also benefits from substantial parking, positioned within a Cul-de-Sac allowing further spaces available. There are currently two self-contained entrances for both floors making it suitable for a variety of uses (STP) and the opportunity for the suites to be split per floor.

7 Chase Park is available on new lease terms at a quoting rent of £48,000 per annum, or for sale with vacant possession at an asking price of £575,000.

Amy Howard, Surveyor at FHP Property Consultants commented:

“We have previously marketed 7 Chase Park on a leasehold basis only, although with limited interest we faced given the changing demands for the office market it was clear that we needed a new approach on the property. After several discussions with my client, we felt the best possible strategy was to have it on a freehold basis also.

The property is situated within a well established industrial location with a variety of national and regional occupiers. It presents itself well from both a hybrid and office perspective and I imagine we will generate a strong level of interest given the flexibility the space provides and location. The ample car parking with the unit is also an attractive feature, with Chase Park being a popular estate throughout the years.”

FHP are delighted to confirm the letting of Unit A Bradmore Business Park in Bunny to Geo Green Power Ltd. The property comprised a detached high quality two storey office building situated within a Parkland Campus to the south of Nottingham.

Benefitting from 25 designated car parking spaces falling outside of the Nottingham Workplace Parking Levy, it was certainly an opportunity not to miss out on. Bradmore Business Park comprises three sister buildings that were developed in 2011, all consisting of high quality modern detached office space and has proved to be popular over the years, with their architecturally stimulating design, showcased through timber clad and curtain wall elevations.

Unit A Bradmore Business Park generated a strong level of enquiries with the majority of interest leaning more towards a floor-by-floor option of circa 3,000 sq. ft, which seems to evidentially be in strong demand for ‘out-of-town’ business park floor space requirements. Ideally, we wished for one occupier to take the whole space available to make it more of an attractive option for our client, although they were open to either. We were delighted when GeoGreen Power Ltd came along and expressed their interest in the whole property. After viewing the suite only once, they were already set that this was the office for them as the characteristics of the building appealed to them and their type of occupation.

Amy Howard, surveyor at FHP Property Consultants commented:

“It was a great result in the end for both our client and GeoGreen Power. The demand for ‘out-of-town’ office space especially in this size bracket is not as high as it once was, so it was a great result to secure a deal so quickly and complete on the legals within four weeks of being under offer.

This property is an example that if a landlord maintains their property well and offers high quality modern office space then the demand is still there and prospective tenants are keen to move. GeoGreen Power Ltd had only recently started their office search but had not yet come across one that suited their needs and ultimately fell in love with Bradmore Business Park on their first viewing and I wish them all the best on continuing their journey.

We are witnessing demand increasing for offices situated within business parks, with accessibility being a key requirement alongside ample car parking making it attractive for employees and accessible. I am excited to see what this year brings with the office market as in recent months we have seen a rise in take up.”

FHP are delighted to confirm that we have now reached full occupancy at Castlebridge Office Village, with the remaining suite secured by Altia Solutions Ltd. The Village is set within Castle Marina and benefits from being situated within 1.25 miles from Central Nottingham with retail and leisure facilities in immediate vicinity. Altia Solutions Ltd secured a high quality self-contained office suite situated on the ground floor and benefited from a generous level of parking set within an ‘in-town’ location. Castlebridge Office Village is occupied by a diverse range of tenants including legal, technological, professional services and more.

Initially the property was available over two floors with a floor area of circa 5,000sq. ft. Although the demand for this type of office size was scarce due to government implements that have been put in place such as the ‘working from home’ / hybrid approaches. With further advice and discussions with the client, it was evident that we needed to reduce the size available to attract further enquiries to achieve occupation. It was a risk, but one that paid off as we now look to welcome Altia onto the estate and achieve full occupancy.

Amy Howard, Surveyor at FHP Property Consultants commented:

“Castlebridge is an estate I have been working on from the start of my FHP journey, so to achieve full occupancy is a great result, having secured 6 new tenants. It portrays the desire for office space is still apparent and that demand is still there within the market. If landlord’s are open to spending capital on their properties and listening to the market to improve overall quality of the office space, the demand is still there and tenants will pursue these spaces.

Altia Solutions Ltd have been in the market for several months and viewed numerous properties over this time frame, so not only was it a good result for my client but also great to see Altia secure their new premises and I wish them all the best in their new premises.”

Sarah Venn, from Altia Intel Ltd commented:

“After diligently searching for alternative office space throughout 2023, we are thrilled to have found the perfect unit to accommodate our needs.  Amy Howard and John Proctor’s support and expertise made the entire transaction seamless and efficient.  Their professionalism ensured that every aspect of the process was handled with the utmost care and attention to detail.

As Landlords, FHP have proven to be a breath of fresh air – their approachable nature, coupled with their commitment to simplifying processes and addressing queries promptly has made our transition into Castlebridge a smooth and enjoyable experience.”
