National deals round-up

EG’s Most Active Agent competition winner East Scotland 1 Shepherd Commercial 2 Ryden 3 FG Burnett 4 Westport Property 5 Savills Dealmaker – Fergus McDonald (Westport Property) “I am delighted to have won EG’s dealmaker for East of Scotland 2020 award. “2019 and the early part of this year have been a very busy period across Tayside, particularly the demand for good quality smaller industrial stock. Post-lockdown, this sector continues to outperform expectations and is likely to remain resilient, with local developers bringing forward much needed new speculative development. “The outlook for the office and retail markets will undoubtedly be influenced significantly by the current pandemic and we are expecting dramatic changes on our high streets and in our city centres. These sectors will have to adapt in order to recover strongly out of the pandemic.” OFFICE 128A Green Lane, Derby DE1 1RY Size: 1,263 sq ft (117.34 sq m) Date of deal: 01/07/2020 Rent: £14,500 pa, 25-year lease, five yearly upward only rent reviews Lessor: City Properties Lessor’s agent: BB&J Commercial Lessee: Derby Child Contact Centre 2nd Floor, 1-4 Beresford Square, Woolwich SE18 6BB Size: 7,546 sq ft (701 sq m) Date of deal: 05/07/2020 Rent: £23,000 pa, five-year lease, three months rent free Lessor’s agent: Cradick Retail Lessee: City College of London 5 Central Park, Ohio Avenue, Salford Quays M50 2GT Size: 25,568 sq ft (2,375 sq m) Date of deal: 08/07/2020 Rent: £370,736 pa, 10-year lease Lessor: Peel Land & Property Lessor’s agent: CBRE & Edwards & Co Lessee: Marlow Fire & Security 7400 Oxford Business Park, Oxford OX4 2JZ Size: 3,578 sq ft (332 sq m) Date of deal: 01/06/2020 Rent: £89,450 pa 10-year lease, 12 months rent free Lessor: Arlington Lessor’s agent: VSL and Partners Lessee: Green Square Group RETAIL Unit 23, Westhill Shopping Centre, Westhill AB32 6RL Size: 2,036 sq ft (189 sq m) Date of deal: 18/06/2020 Rent: £45,000 pa, 15-year lease Lessor: St James Place Property Unit Trust Lessor’s agent: FG Burnett Lessee: Foodstore INDUSTRIAL 11 Saracen Industrial Estate, Mark Road, Hemel Hempstead HP2 7BJ Size: 3,482 sq ft (323 sq m) Date of deal: 10/07/2020 Rent: £45,911 pa, five-year lease Lessor: Hermes Investment Management Lessor’s agent: Brasier Freeth Lessee: UCC Coffee UK Parcelforce Warehouse, Magna 34 Business Park, Temple Close, Rotherham S60 1FH Size: 151,000 sq ft (14,028 sq m) Date of deal: 21/07/2020 Price: £13,300,000 Purchaser: InfraRed Urban Logistics Fund Puchaser’s agents: Commercial Property Partners & Malcolm Hollis Unit 3, Riverside Drive, Mayo Avenue, Dundee DD2 1XD Size: 1,511 sq ft (140 sq m) Date of deal: 09/06/2020 Rent: £8,500 pa, one-year lease Lessor’s agent: Westport Property Lessee: Area Code Logistics International Unit 7 Sandford Lane, Wareham BH20 4WD Size: 3,391 sq ft (315 sq m) Date of deal: 01/07/2020 Rent: £20,600 pa, four-year and 11 month lease Lessor’s agent: Ellis & Partners Lessee: Hospitality Hire To submit your deals, please e-mail deals@egi.co.uk
