National deals round-up

EG’s Most Active Agent competition winners Berkshire 1. Page Hardy Harris 2. JLL 3. Haslams Surveyors 4. Lambert Smith Hampton 5. BNP Paribas Real Estate Dealmaker: Hannah Taylor-Brewin, Page Hardy Harris “The past few months have been testing times for the Berkshire market with the different sectors all faring differently. We have seen industrial and freeholds go from strength to strength, and even seen reassuring signs that the retail market remains resilient, but the office environment continues to be fragile while many occupiers come to terms with home-working. There are, however, still plenty of deals taking place within the wider marketplace, and we remain optimistic as we go into the final months of 2020 and the new year.” Buckinghamshire 1. Duncan Bailey Kennedy 2. Chandler Garvey 3. JLL 4. Lambert Smith Hampton 5. Brasier Freeth Dealmaker: Alan Chandler, Chandler Garvey “I’m delighted to have secured this title for another year, and I’m really hoping that the market will bounce back in September, after the summer. The industrial market remains buoyant and secondary retail is also faring well. The office market is lagging behind, although it is clear that the demand for serviced offices has improved over the past few weeks. Long may the recovery continue.” OFFICE 11-15 Thistle Street, Edinburgh EH2 1DF Size: 4,911 sq ft (456 sq m) Date of deal: 27/07/2020 Rent: £100,000 pa, five-year lease Lessor: Threadneedle Portfolio Services Lessor’s agent: Avison Young Commercial Real Estate Lessee: Scottish Futures Trust 3rd Floor, Seacourt Tower, West Way, Botley, Oxford OX2 0JJ Size: 3,758 sq ft (349 sq m) Date of deal: 31/07/2020 Rent: £122,135 pa, five-year lease, three-year break Lessor: MA Seacourt Lessor’s agent: VSL and Partners Lessee: WPP Health Ground Floor, Valiant House, 4-10 Heneage Lane, London EC3A 5DQ Size: 1,584 sq ft (147 sq m) Date of deal: 17/07/2020 Rent: £50,688 pa, five-year lease, three-year break, six months rent free Lessor: Tavor Holdings Lessor’s agents: Newton Perkins and Hartnell Taylor Cook Lessee: Baltimore FM RETAIL 15-16 Lower High Street, Stourbridge DY8 1TA Size: 736 sq ft (68 sq m) Date of deal: 01/07/2020 Rent: £12,000 pa, six-year lease, break at years one and three, two months rent free Lessor’s agent: Walton & Hipkiss Lessee: Skinny Beer 28 Whitechapel, Liverpool L1 1DZ Size: 736 sq ft (68 sq m) Date of deal: 17/08/2020 Rent: £44,000 pa, five-year lease Lessor’s agent: DMA Lessee: Ramsdens Lessee’s agent: Barker Proudlove 47 North Street, Guildford GU1 4AF Size: 10,135 sq ft (941 sq m) Date of deal: 15/07/2020 Price: £3.25m, 5.78% yield Vendor: CBRE Global Investors Vendor’s agent: Fawcett Mead Purchaser: Marks & Spencer 56 Mostyn Street, Llandudno LL30 2RP Size: 2,424 sq ft (225 sq m) Date of deal: 04/08/2020 Rent: £75,000 pa, seven-year lease Lessor’s agent: St Davids Commercial Lessee: EJP Entertainment 6-8 Main Street, Glencarse, Perth PH2 7LX Size: 881 sq ft (82 sq m) Date of deal: 01/08/2020 Rent: £15,000 pa, five-year lease Lessor: GS Brown Construction Lessor’s agent: Shepherd Commercial Lessee: Little Lies INDUSTRIAL 33 Worksop Road, Sheffield S9 3TG Size: 5,796 sq ft (538 sq m) Date of deal: 19/08/2020 Rent: £24,000 pa, five-year lease Lessor’s agent: Knight Frank Lessee: Hireforce To submit your deals, please e-mail deals@egi.co.uk
