EG’s Most Active Agent competition winners Oxfordshire VSL & Partners Carter Jonas White Commercial Lambert Smith Hampton Savills Dealmaker: Duncan May, VSL & Partners “I am delighted to have won Oxfordshire’s most active dealmaker award again. It does show that VSL & Partners has a very strong agency team that continues to dominate the regional market. “Over the past three years the A34 corridor has seen record levels of transactions and significant rental growth in both the office and industrial sectors. However, 2019 is seeing a slowdown in activity, owing to uncertainty from the political turmoil we are experiencing.” OFFICES MEA House, Ellison Place, Newcastle NE1 8XS Size: 687 sq ft (64 sq m) Date of deal: 17/07/2019 Rent: £15,000 pa, five-year lease Lessor: Council of the City of Newcastle upon Tyne Lessor’s agent: Gavin Black & Partners Lessee: Tyneside and Northumberland Mind 31 Dewar Place, Edinburgh EH3 8EF Size: 733 sq ft (68 sq m) Date of deal: 03/06/2019 Rent: £18,000 pa, five-year lease, three-year lease break Lessor: Dragonfly Agency Lessor’s agent: Shepherd Commercial Lessee: EnergieKondor UK North Office, 2nd Floor, Walford Mill Studios, 91 West Borough, Wimborne Minster BH21 1NW Size: 391 sq ft (36 sq m) Date of deal: 22/07/2019 Rent: £5,000 pa, three‑year lease, two months rent free Lessor’s agent: Willis Commercial Lessee: Pazo Services Unit 1 Acorn Business Park, Killingbeck Drive, Leeds LS14 6UF Size: 2,622 sq ft (244 sq m) Date of deal: 01/08/2019 Rent: £20,805 pa, five-year lease Lessor: Regional REIT Lessor’s agents: AWS and M7 Real Estate Lessee: Aegis Leeds East INDUSTRIAL Unit 11, Chapel Pond Hill Industrial Estate, Mercers Road, Bury St Edmunds IP32 7HX Size: 1,332 sq ft (124 sq m) Date of deal: 24/04/2019 Price: £175,017 Vendor’s agent: Merrifields Chartered Surveyors Purchaser: Victoria Solutions Units 1 and 2, Brownrigg Industrial Estate, Brownrigg Loaning, Dumfries DG1 3JU Size: 1,797 sq ft (167 sq m) Date of deal: 15/07/2019 Rent: £8,000 pa, five-year lease, three-year lease break, three-year rent review, one month rent free Lessor: C&M Mather Lessor’s agent: Shepherd Commercial Lessee: Novus Property Solutions Unit 16, Tir Llwyd Industrial Estate, Asaph Avenue, Kinmel Bay, Rhyl LL18 5JA Size: 512 sq ft (48 sq m) Date of deal: 02/07/2019 Rent: £4,532 pa, three-year lease, break and review at year two Lessor: Stenprop Lessor’s agent: Legat Owen Lessee: Total AOG Support Unit 6-7 Sovereign Park, Cranes Farm Road, Basildon SS14 3GT Size: 20,473 sq ft (1,899 sq m) Date of deal: 01/07/2019 Rent: £12,000 pa, 15-year lease, break at fifth and 10th years, six months rent free Lessor’s agent: Glenny LLP Lessee: InBuild Solutions Unit B4, Bankfield Trading Estate, Sandy Lane, Stockport SK5 7SE Size: 3,812 sq ft (354 sq m) Date of deal: 05/08/2019 Rent: £22,000 pa, five-year lease, tenant break in year three, three months rent free Lessor: Logicor Lessor’s agents: Nolan Redshaw and Sanderson Weatherall Lessee: Opsys Unit K, The Factory, Crondall Lane, Farnham GU10 5DW Size: 1,855 sq ft (172 sq m) Date of deal: 20/08/2019 Rent: £16,695 pa, three-year lease Lessor: Denton & Co Trustees Lessor’s agent: Curchod & Co Lessee: Dave’s Custom Airsoft RETAIL Unit 5C, Mulberry Walk, Mere Green, Sutton Coldfield B75 5BS Size: 1,293 sq ft (120 sq m) Date of deal: 15/07/2019 Rent: £32,500 pa, 10-year lease Lessor: Nottingham City Council Lessor’s agents: Rowley Hughes Thompson and DMR Property Lessee: Mercury Wellness Ground Floor, Bridgewater Point, Ordsall Lane, Salford M5 4TD Size: 2,777 sq ft (258 sq m) Date of deal: 01/08/2019 Rent: £40,000 pa, 15-year lease, reviews in years five and 10, six months rent free Lessor: Fortis Developments Lessor’s agent: WT Gunson Lessee: Co-operative Food 7 Douglas Street, Dunfermline KY12 7EB Size: 1,383 sq ft (128 sq m) Date of deal: 15/07/2019 Rent: £15,000 pa, 10-year lease, five-year lease break Lessor: Glenbervie Investments Lessor’s agent: Thomson Property Consultants Lessee: Well Pharmacy 185/187 High Street, Hounslow TW3 1BL Size: 2,077 sq ft (193 sq m) Date of deal: 13/08/2019 Rent: £43,000 pa, one-year lease, two weeks rent-free period Lessor’s agent: DMA Lessee: Fone Zone Lessee’s agent: Leaver Charles Granger 25-27 High Street, Ramsgate CT11 9AG Size: 5,734 sq ft (553 sq m) Date of deal: 15/08/2019 Price: £425,000, 9.75% NIY Vendor’s agents: Cradick Retail and Harston & Co Purchaser: De Santis Properties Lessees: Bonmarché and Card Factory Unit D, Tutbury Avenue, Little Over, Derby DE23 3AT Size: 1,018 sq ft (95 sq m) Date of deal: 23/08/2019 Rent: £17,500 pa, 10-year lease, rent review at year five, three months rent free Lessor’s agent: Salloway Property Consultants Lessee: Avance Clinic To submit your deals, please e-mail deals@egi.co.uk
