EG’s Most Active Agent competition winner Greater Manchester CBRE WT Gunson Lamb & Swift Commercial JLL Knight Frank Dealmaker: Daniel Westwell, Lamb & Swift Commercial “‘The past 12 months has been an extremely busy period for Lamb & Swift, particularly the general agency department, which has taken on lots of new clients in all sectors. “We’re still seeking new stock, especially industrial stock of any size, location on both a freehold and leasehold basis to satisfy high levels of local and regional demand. The next 12 months are likely to be a little more testing for obvious reasons, however if the past two months are anything to go by then we expect it to be another very busy year.” OFFICE Apex House, 1 Bridle Path, Watford WD17 1UE Size: 2,404 sq ft (223 sq m) Date of deal: 10/03/2020 Rent: £64,908 pa, two-year lease Lessor’s agent: Brasier Freeth Lessee: Fortrade Central Park, New Lane, Holbeck, Leeds LS11 5EB Size: 3,135 sq ft (291 sq m) Date of deal: 01/06/2020 Rent: £54,863 pa, 10-year lease Lessor: Squarestone HUB Lessor’s agent: Knight Frank Lessee: Rivendell Europe RETAIL 54/56 Newmarket Street, Ayr KA7 1LR Size: 2,772 sq ft (259 sq m) Date of deal: 10/04/2020 Rent: £16,000 pa, five-year lease, break at year three Lessor: H&B Properties Glasgow Lessor’s agent: Shepherd Commercial Lessee: Unity Grill 79-85 Week Street, Maidstone ME14 1QX Size: 3,696 sq ft (343 sq m) Date of deal: 15/06/2020 Rent: £55,000 pa, 10-year lease, six months rent-free Lessor’s agent: Cradick Retail Lessee: German Doner Kebab Lessee’s agent: McKinnon Nelson INDUSTRIAL 37 Pony Road, Horspath OX4 2RD Size: 5,721 sq ft (531 sq m) Date of deal: 23/04/2020 Rent: £50,000 pa, five-year lease, break at year three Lessor: TVCO Lessor’s agent: VSL and Partners Lessee: Oxford Flow Block 6, Young Road, Caldwellside Industrial Estate, Lanark ML11 7SR Size: 1,027 sq ft (95 sq m) Date of deal: 08/06/2020 Rent: £6,450 pa, three-year lease Lessor: Prudential Assurance Company Lessor’s agent: Gerald Eve Lessee: Hollingsworth Engineering Fishwicks Industrial Estate, Baxters Lane, St Helens WA9 3NA Size: 52,541 sq ft (4,881 sq m) Date of deal: 01/04/2020 Rent: £157,623 pa, 10-year lease Lessor: Aberdeen Standard Investments Lessor’s agent: Colliers International Lessee: Miers Construction Products Unit 10, Bath Road Industrial Estate, Chippenham SN14 0AB Size: 2,555 sq ft (237 sq m) Date of deal: 13/06/2020 Rent: £23,000 pa, five-year lease, break at years three and four, three months rent-free Lessor’s agent: Huw Thomas Commercial Lessee: Sporting Billy Unit A5, Bishops Trade Park, Bishops Road, Lincoln LN2 4LB Size: 3,045 sqft (283 sqm) Date of deal: 19/06/2020 Rent: £26,000 pa, 10-year lease,tenant break and review at year five Lessor’s agent: Banks Long & Co Lessee: Pochin Bathrooms & Kitchens To submit your deals, please e-mail deals@egi.co.uk
