EG’s Most Active Agent competition winners GREATER MANCHESTER 1 CBRE 2 Lamb & Swift Commercial 3 JLL 4 WT Gunson 5 Impey & Company Dealmaker – Daniel Westwell, Lamb & Swift Commercial “Personally, I have found the local and regional property market to be both up and down in the past 12-18 months, across all sectors. I tend to concentrate most of my time working in the local Bolton occupier market, leasing and selling any type of commercial property. I am still witnessing a struggle for the uptake of town centre accommodation, particularly within the large-scale office and retail sectors, however, the local industrial market is very buoyant, mainly due to a shortage of available, good-quality accommodation within the region as a whole on both a sale and letting basis. Lamb & Swift Commercial is very busy across all departments at the moment and long may it continue.” INDUSTRIAL Unit 6, Hillfoot Industrial Estate, Sheffield S3 8AB ■ Size: 2,129 sq ft (198 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 01/05/2018 ■ Rent: £11,000 pa, five-year lease, three months rent free ■ Lessor: Sterling Industrial ■ Lessor’s agents: Commercial Property Partners & Knight Frank ■ Lessee: HTR Motors Unit A2, Ashmount Enterprise Park, Aber Road, Flint CH6 5YL ■ Size: 942 sq ft (88 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 04/06/2018 ■ Rent: £4,500 pa, three-year lease ■ Lessor’s agent: Legat Owen ■ Lessor: Brisbane House ■ Lessee: Auto Electronics Solutions .Unit B, Manawey Business Centre, Holder Road, Aldershot GU12 4RH ■ Size: 4,210 sq ft (391 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 31/05/2018 ■ Rent: £42,000 pa, five-year lease ■ Lessor’s agent: Kingstons ■ Lessor: Manawey Developments ■ Lessee: Reade Signs Units 1 & 2 Winsford Industrial Estate, Road Four, Winsford CW7 3QN ■ Size: 30,755 sq ft (2,875 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 08/06/2018 ■ Rent: £120,000 pa, 10-year lease, review after year five ■ Lessor’s agent: Legat Owen ■ Lessor: Portal Construction ■ Lessee: Wheelwash LEISURE The Springs, Harbour Walk, Hartlepool TS24 0YA ■ Size: 225,263 sq ft (2,347 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 15/06/2018 ■ Price: £1,400,000, 3.75% yield ■ Vendor: Pemberstone ■ Vendor’s asset manager: Blue Marble Asset Management ■ Vendor’s agent: CBRE ■ Lessee: The Gym Group OFFICE 4th Floor, The Garment Factory, Merchant City, Glasgow G1 1RE ■ Size: 8,385 sq ft (779 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 21/06/2018 ■ Rent: £201,240 pa, 10-year lease ■ Lessor: Castleforge Partners ■ Lessor’s agent: Ryden ■ Lessee: Autorek 81-89 Castlereagh Street, Belfast BT5 4NF ■ Size: 1,169 sq ft (109 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 04/04/2018 ■ Rent: £9,000 pa, five-year lease ■ Lessor’s agent: Frazer Kidd & Partners ■ Lessee: Oasis Caring in Action Gold Farm, Government Road, Aldershot GU11 2PT ■ Size: 2,518 sq ft (234 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 05/05/2018 ■ Rent: £15,000 pa, three-year lease, one-month rent free ■ Lessor’s agent: Clare & Co ■ Lessee: Tercel Medical Group Ground Floor, Murdoch House, Garlic Row, Cambridge CB5 8HW ■ Size: 2,540 sq ft (236 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 16/04/2018 ■ Rent: £40,000 pa, three-year lease, break after years one and two ■ Lessor’s agent: Robinson Layer ■ Lessee: Alchemie Technology Suite 23, Linford Forum, Rockingham Drive, Milton Keynes MK14 6LY ■ Size: 1,079 sq ft (100 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 31/05/2018 ■ Rent: £14,500 pa, three-year lease, one month rent free, break at year two ■ Lessor: Parks Trust ■ Lessor’s agents: Bidwells and Louch Shacklock & Partners ■ Lessee: TXM Plant Unit 1, Grovelands Business Centre, Boundary Way, Hemel Hempstead HP2 7TE ■ Size: 2,525 sq ft (235 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 15/05/2018 ■ Rent: £45,198 pa, five-year lease ■ Lessor: Threadneedle ■ Lessor’s agent: Brasier Freeth ■ Lessee: Entech Technical Solutions ■ Lessee’s agent: Lambert Smith Hampton Unit 9 Briarlands Office Park, Pinkers Court, Gloucester Road, Rudgeway, Bristol BS35 3GH ■ Size: 3,177 sq ft (295 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 09/05/2018 ■ Rent: £55,000 pa, 15-year lease, tenant break at years five and 10 ■ Lessor’s agent: Alder King & Savills ■ Lessor: Patrick Pinker (Game Farm) ■ Lessee’s agent: Simon Powell Commercial ■ Lessee: MFU Mutual Insurance Society RETAIL 26 Manchester Road, Nelson BB9 7EG ■ Size: 909 sq ft (84 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 11/06/2018 ■ Price: £87,000 ■ Vendor’s agent: Petty Chartered Surveyors ■ Vendor: SNC Developments ■ Purchaser: V and K Cakes Ground Floor 9 Renfield Street, Glasgow G2 5EZ ■ Size: 3,000 sq ft (279 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 15/05/2018 ■ Rent: £95,000 pa, 25-year lease ■ Lessor: Greenfield Farms ■ Lessor’s agents: Culverwell & Syme Property Consultancy ■ Lessee: Project Pizza The Crystal Centre, Platts Road, Stourbridge DY8 4AJ ■ Size: 14,987 sq ft (1,392 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 13/06/2018 ■ Price: £2,250,000, 8.92% yield ■ Vendor’s agent: Franck-Steier Price ■ Purchaser: Kindale Unit 5 Magna Shopping Centre, Wigston LE18 1NZ ■ Size: 776 sq ft (72 sq m) ■ Date of deal: 12/06/2018 ■ Rent: £16,500 pa, five-year lease, break at three years, three months rent free ■ Lessor’s agent: FHP Property Consultants ■ Lessor: Sheet Anchor Investments ■ Lessee: Headway – The Brain Injury Association To submit your deals please e-mail deals@egi.co.uk or tweet @egdeals
