The property is situated on the corner of Mansfield Road and Stores Road, accessed through the Jet petrol station and GP Motors.  Pentagon Island is a short distance away which offers excellent transport links to the A52 to the east, which ultimately leads to Junction 25 of the M1 motorway, and the A38 to the west via the A61.  Within the vicinity there are several trade counter units that are occupied by national and regional tenants as well as motor trade units such as tyre shops and car sales.

The property comprises a semi-detached industrial/warehouse unit situated on a securely fenced and gated site.  The unit is constructed of steel portal frame with a pitched roof.  The warehouse is accessed via two separate roller shutter loading doors and provides clear span warehouse accommodation.  The offices comprise a mixture of open plan accommodation, canteen, W/C facilities and a reception.  The total specification includes:

• 29-acre self-contained site with a gate
• 3 phase power and LED warehouse lighting
• Two roller shutter loading doors
• 5m eaves rising to 5.17m

The premises comprise 7,911ft² and is available to let on new lease terms at a rent of £79,000 per annum.

Harry Gamble of FHP Property Consultants commented:

“Mansfield Road has always been a popular motor trade and warehouse location with a mix of local and regional businesses.  The property fronts a busy road and offers excellent transport links out of the heart of Derby. 

It is particularly rare that a property within close to Derby city centre allows motor trade and I suspect that we will receive some strong interest.  I look forward to speaking with all interested parties.”

March 2026

As we approach the end of March, it gives us a great opportunity to look back at the activity in the Derby office over the first 3 months of the year.  Pleasingly, as we rolled over into the new year, we were hit with an unexpected demand across industrial, office and retail, with high enquiry levels, increased viewing numbers and deals being concluded.   We found that businesses we had been talking to 6 months prior have come back into the frame and are starting to make decisions.  Across all three sectors, we have been extremely busy with 32 deals completing across the first 3 months of 2026.

January and February proved to be very active months, and we are hoping that this will set the precedent for the forthcoming year.  Within March we have still completed on a number of lettings and sales, but the activity across telephone and email enquiries has slowed down which can be linked to the ongoing tensions in the Middle East.  We hope that the current activity within the market continues through, but it is hard to predict the next 3 months.

Within the retail sector, one of the standout transactions for us was the sale of The Royal Buildings, one of Derby city centre’s landmark buildings situated on Victoria Street.  The Royal Buildings comprises 22,062ft² and marks a major investment sale within the city centre.

After a positive 2025 in Derby’s office market, the trend has continued into 2026 with a number of deals completing.  Notably, Pentagon House, a 30,000ft² office building just off the A61 in Derby has now reached 100% occupancy with an occupier taking a second-floor wing of circa 4,000ft² for a period of 10 years. We are also pleased to launch The Exchange, a new grade office scheme situated on Pride Park where we can offer build to suit opportunities from 10,000ft² to 45,000ft² on either a leasehold or freehold basis.

Finally, the industrial market has seen a variety of deals from 500ft² to 66,000ft².  Ascot Drive has proved to be positive with 5,814ft² of prime trade counter space being recently let to Lincs Electrical Wholesalers Ltd.  Off the back of this we have received two further instructions, one being Unit 6, Newmarket Court comprising 2,895ft² and the second being the Former Jewson site of roughly 1.63 acres to be sold on a long leasehold basis.

Pleasingly, we are seeing deals complete and businesses looking for their first or even next step.  The majority of the deals are within the sub 5,000ft² industrial market but we have transacted the letting of 66,000ft² in Alfreton based on a 6.4 acre site.

Harry Gamble of FHP Property Consultants commented:

“As I am coming up to 3 years at FHP, it certainly feels that this year has been much more positive with the high levels of enquiries and viewings.  I have now completed a number of lettings and am starting to deal with freehold sales across all sectors.   

On a personal note, February proved to be very successful as I completed 7 deals and placed 4 properties under offer. Whilst I anticipate the movement to slow down over the forthcoming Easter break, I hope that viewing numbers will stay positive and businesses will still be anticipating their next move.”

As 2025 comes to an end, I thought I’d look back over the last 12 months. I am now halfway through my degree apprenticeship at Nottingham Trent University and the skills that I have learnt are directly linked into my day-to-day role within FHP. It has been a busy year with FHP, and I have primarily been working across all 3 sectors of the market, including the sales and lettings of Office, Industrial and Retail premises. At times, the workload can be tough with some late nights ensuring my coursework is due in on time! But this doesn’t change the fact that I would recommend this route to anybody and when you have a company that supports you well, it really does benefit you in the long run.

The bulk of my work this year has been within the industrial/warehouse sector. I have dealt with the lettings and sales of multiple units across Derbyshire. My highlight of 2025 did fall at Amber Business Centre, Riddings. Within the first six months of 2025, I saw 5 units between 625ft² to 1,770ft² being taken at a rapid pace. Off the back of this, Amber Business Centre, a circa 400,000ft² estate, hit full occupancy for the first time since 2018 when our client, Mileway, acquired it.

Pleasingly, I had exposure within the development sector too this year. DJ Atkinson Construction are developing three new build offices just south of Chesterfield in Grassmoor. These are set to complete in early 2026. The offices consist of a two-storey, high quality development with adequate parking. It has been great experience working on this development to see the property evolve, and pleasingly I am having a number of positive discussions with several businesses, and I hope to agree a deal early in the new year.

As we stepped into the second half of the year, I found myself working within the retail sector where I have been dealing with many properties throughout Derby city centre and Derbyshire. I have seen good demand for small starter units, and a particular example of this would be 1256 London Road, Alvaston. The small takeaway unit received numerous offers, and it was let quickly once we had accepted the best one. I have also worked on the disposal of FarmFood’s lease, in Ripley by way of an assignment recently and that is currently under offer to another national occupier.

Typically, I have found myself meeting clients, showing occupiers properties and inspecting potential new instructions. Over the past two and a half years at FHP I have grown a much better understanding of the property world and I am in a role that I am thoroughly enjoying. Over the last 12 months I have achieved a lot of personal targets with the support from FHP. I have concluded on a couple industrial lettings over 10,000ft² which was a milestone I wanted to hit. One of these was a new letting in Ilkeston, whilst the other one was a sub-letting in Market Harborough which really tested my knowledge, but I was pleased to see it over the line.

With 2025 coming to an end, it has been an extremely successful year in terms of my personal development. I look forward to the challenges that 2026 brings and I hope we can start to see more deals completing now that we have passed a challenging 6 months.

During the last six months, FHP Property Consultants have seen a positive number of retail units being snapped up and placed under offer.  These lettings include properties on Derby’s High Street and also further afield throughout Derbyshire.

We are seeing a strong appetite from independent operators who are sensing an opportunity to secure city centre premises for a variety of uses.  We have seen 6 Sadler Gate taken on by Flizzone who are a designer clothing retailer, with the deal completing quickly after the initial marketing period.  34 Victoria Street was let to Good Thai whilst 35 Wardwick was taken by a café and bar operator.  Not only are we seeing small shops being taken at a positive rate, Flo Skate Park and Social Sports Society Padel have taken a combined 75,000ft² within the former Eagle Centre Market. Outside of the city centre, we have placed 24 Oxford Street, Ripley under offer by way of an assignment to another national occupier. Hettie and Sid have opened their doors at Peak Village Shopping Centre in Rowsley to join other high-quality operators within the scheme.

Whilst we feel many operators are somewhat reluctant to commit to new locations before the forthcoming budget, we are seeing that hesitance from one business creates an opportunity for another.  We have placed 14 – 16 St Peters Street under offer to a business with multiple stores throughout the UK.

In the investment market, there are private investors with an appetite for competitively priced retail property in the city centre.  We have seen good levels of interest since the summer holidays ended, and more individuals are starting to look at Derby as a great place to invest in.

Harry Gamble of FHP Property Consultants commented:

“We are seeing strong demand for good quality, affordable retail premises that are ready to occupy throughout Derby and its surrounds. The emphasis to landlords is on removing the barriers to entry for incoming tenants who are understandably sensitive to the cost implications involved.”

For further information about any of the above deals or to find your place on Derby’s high street, please contact Harry Gamble on 07398 443 828  / harry.gamble@fhp.co.uk or Tom Wragg on 07970 168 138 / tom@fhp.co.uk.

Harry Gamble of FHP Property Consultants, commented:

“After Sandyford Properties Ltd had success at auction following advice from FHP, we are delighted to be retained as letting agents for the site.  Unit B3 Salcombe Road Industrial Estate will be available in March of 2026 and given the demand for small industrial/warehouse units around Junction 28 of the M1 motorway, we expect there to be a seamless transition with the old tenant moving out and a new tenant moving in. 

Sandyford Properties Ltd are also looking to improve the site and its overall appeal, therefore, they will be carrying out a light refurbishment on the property to ensure it is ready for the new tenant.”
