EG’s Most Active Agent competition winner LANCASHIRE & CUMBRIA 1. Duxburys Commercial 2. Robert Pinkus & Co 3. Taylor Weaver 4. Trevor Dawson Chartered Surveyors 5. Petty Chartered Surveyors Dealmaker Adam Taylor – Duxburys Commercial “I am very proud to have won EG’s Dealmaker award for 2018, for the Lancashire & Cumbria area. It has certainly been a busy and interesting year. We have seen more optimism in the market and notably all sectors of the market appear to be more active than the year prior. While we are still facing difficulties and challenges, there appears to be more desire from Landlords/tenants and sellers/buyers to do business. We have also seen more speculative development being successfully completed than in the previous year. Hopefully, over the coming 12 months, we will continue to see an increase in activity by all stakeholders in the commercial property market in Lancashire & Cumbria.” INDUSTRIAL 1385 Aztec West, Almondsbury, Bristol BS32 4RX ■ Size: 5,592 sq ft (520 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 25/04/2018 ■ Rent: £61,521 pa, 10-year lease, break at year five ■ Lessor’s agents: JLL & Williams Gunter Hardwick ■ Lessee: Topaz Detailing 53 Barker Street, Norwich NR2 4TN ■ Size: 11,584 sq ft (1,076 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 03/04/2018 ■ Rent: £4,000 pa, four-month lease ■ Lessor’s agent: Bidwells ■ Lessor: Paddock Street Holdings ■ Lessee: Tin House The Maltings, Lower Higham Road, Gravesend DA12 2LY ■ Size: 14,771 sq ft (1,372 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 06/04/2018 ■ Rent: £100,000 pa, 25-year lease, break at 2.5 years, rent review every five years ■ Lessor’s agent: Watson Day ■ Lessee: The City Praise Centre Unit 10, Acorn Park, Vernon Road, Halesowen B62 8HN ■ Size: 3,941 sq ft (366 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 06/06/2018 ■ Rent: £20,000 pa, five-year lease, first six months at half rent, tenant break at year three ■ Lessor’s agent: Fisher German ■ Lessee: S B Components Unit 2, Burnbank Business Centre, Souter Head Road, Aberdeen AB12 3LF ■ Size: 2,097 sq ft (195 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 06/06/2018 ■ Rent: £18,000 pa, five-year lease, six months rent free followed by 12 months at half rent ■ Lessor: Aberdeen City Council ■ Lessor’s agent: Shepherd Commercial ■ Lessee: Scottish Trades Excellence LEISURE 22 Adelaide Street, Belfast BT2 8GG ■ Size: 15,500 sq ft (1,440 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 13/06/2018 ■ Price: £2,460,000, 6.52% yield ■ Vendor’s agent: CBRE ■ Purchaser’s agent: Lambert Smith Hampton ■ Lessee: Pure Gym OFFICE 1st Floor, 45a Edge Street, Manchester M4 1HW ■ Size: 834 sq ft (77 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 15/04/2018 ■ Rent: £12,000 pa, five-year lease, break at year three, one month rent free ■ Lessor’s agent: Daniel Harris & Co ■ Lessor: Agecroft Investments ■ Lessee: JS3 Recruitment One City Place, Queens Road, Chester CH1 3BQ ■ Size: 2,071 sq ft (192 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 28/03/2018 ■ Rent: £44,135 pa ■ Lessor’s agents: CBRE & GVA ■ Lessor: Hermes Investment Management ■ Lessee: W.M Reply Unit 31 Linford Forum, Rockingham Drive, Milton Keynes MK14 6LY ■ Size: 684 sq ft (64 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 23/03/2018 ■ Rent: £9,234 pa, five-year lease, three months rent free ■ Lessor’s agent: Bidwells ■ Lessor: Parks Trust ■ Lessee: MKayD Services Yorktown Business Park, Stanhope Gate, Camberley GU15 3DW ■ Size: 2,305 sq ft (214 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 05/05/2018 ■ Rent: £31,500 pa, five-year lease, break at year three, three months rent free ■ Lessor’s agent: Clare & Co ■ Lessee: PDAS RETAIL 1 Broadclose Court, The Broadclose, Peterlee SR8 1AJ ■ Size: 7,222 sq ft (671 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 01/06/2018 ■ Rent: £50,000 pa, five-year lease ■ Lessor: Sports Direct Holdings ■ Lessor’s agent: Reid Birkett Commercial Property Consultants ■ Lessee: British Heart Foundation 184 Broadway, Didcot OX11 8RN ■ Size: 926 sq ft (86 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 07/05/2018 ■ Rent: £15,000 pa, 10-year lease, five-year review, three months rent free ■ Lessor’s agent: Parker Parr ■ Lessee: Papa John’s 190-194 Whitchurch Road, Cardiff CF14 3NB ■ Size: 1,485 sq ft (138 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 04/05/2018 ■ Rent: £20,000 pa, 10-year lease ■ Lessor’s agent: Fletcher Morgan ■ Lessor: Jordan Properties ■ Lessee: Bodlon 61 Maid Marian Way, Nottingham NG1 6AJ ■ Size: 711 sq ft (66 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 15/05/2018 ■ Rent: £16,000 pa, 15-year lease, three months rent free, five-yearly reviews, three-year break option ■ Lessor’s agent: FHP Property Consultants ■ Lessor: Nottingham Hotel Assets ■ Lessee: Turkish Golden Scissors (Notts) Unit 18, Rivergate, New Street, Irvine KA12 8EH ■ Size: 480 sq ft (45 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 04/06/2018 ■ Rent: £16,000 pa, 10-year lease ■ Lessor: Kennedy Wilson UK ■ Lessor’s agents: Eric Young & Co and McParlane & Co ■ Lessee: Eurochange ■ Lessee’s agent: Brasier Freeth Unit 2, Armthorpe Shopping Centre, Armthorpe, Doncaster DN3 3FL ■ Size: 1,060 sq ft (98 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 07/06/2018 ■ Rent: £18,000 pa, 10-year lease, five-year break and review, three months rent free ■ Lessor: London & Cambridge Properties ■ Lessor’s agent: LWE Commercial ■ Lessee: Specsavers To submit your deals please e-mail deals@egi.co.uk or tweet @egdeals
