Profile
I joined FHP several years ago as one of the dominant agencies in the region, attracted by a shared ethos of quality of service, in depth market knowledge, adding value, teamwork and proactive approach. Having qualified as a Chartered Surveyor in 1996 I have worked for both national and regional practices across the Midlands, with the last 20 years or so based from Derby. I have and continue to deal with a wide range of properties and sectors including industrial and distribution, offices, development land, and retail. Following many years of experience in the transactional side of the business, I now focus largely on property valuation for a variety of purposes including loan security, pension fund, company accounts, Charities Act, taxation and insurance reinstatement, although I still get involved in matters such as rent reviews, lease renewals, acquisitions and strategic advice. My hands on market knowledge enables me to provide the best advice for clients. Our in depth knowledge in the market combined with a practical approach and wide resources allow us to provide sound advice.
Current Role
- RICS valuations including pension fund, company accounts, inheritance tax, buildings insurance and loan security.
- Negotiation of rent reviews and lease renewals.
- Working with regional and national clients in both the private and public sectors on the disposal, letting and acquisition of premises.
- Providing strategic advice on property portfolios.
- Highlights include the acquisition of 320,000 sq ft warehouse for an aerospace company.
- Agreement of rent review on 72,500 sq ft factory in Derbyshire.
- Sale and subsequent reletting of 17,000 sq ft at Ascot Drive Derby on a 10 year lease.
- Marketing some of Derby’s most high profile office schemes including Cardinal Square, Cathedral Green, Pentagon House and RTC Business Park.
Interests
Whenever possible I like to be in the great outdoors and living in Derbyshire Dales we are on the doorstep of the Peak District so often venture out as a family for one activity or another.
