For commercial property consultants, the New Year can sometimes be disappointing, as investors/developers and occupiers in the business community are slow to put plans into action, even if they have a New Year’s resolution to invest/develop/relocate etc.

This January has been noticeably different though, with very clear signs from the start that players in the sector were very keen to move quickly with plans and as a result we have had the busiest January that we can remember.

We have brought more than 20 new instructions to the market, totalling over 50,000 ft² of office, industrial and retail space. We have been appointed by several occupiers to relocate them and have already completed on some notable freehold and investment sales exceeding £10 million.

“I have never been more optimistic about our business, given the many new projects we are involved with and the many large long-term investment and development projects that are now in the planning stage. Despite some obvious uncertainties in the national and global economy, the business community and developers/investors alike seem determined to progress plans with all speed.” Michael Garvey, Managing Director

In several areas around the Thames Valley, there is an acute shortage of industrial warehouse units. In these uncertain times, many tenants are choosing to stay in their current premises until the economic market is more stable. This means that they are entering into lease renewal negotiations with their Landlord.

It is very easy for a Landlord to be too hasty to accept an increase in rent without taking advice from commercial agents, often a rise in rent of circa 10% seems like a good increase.  However, leases that were signed in recessionary times are now coming to an end. Some industrial rents in the High Wycombe area that were signed at circa £4 – £5 per sq ft are now being let around £9.50 – £9.95 per sq ft, so it is easy to see how judging your new rent based only on the percentage increase can be financially dangerous.

We have relocated our head office in High Wycombe to larger, fully refurbished premises in the Town Centre.  Previously based in Thame House, we made ourselves homeless when we sold the 30,000 sq ft office property for residential development.

The new premises at 4 Paul’s Row were being marketed by ourselves for the owner and it was an interesting discussion when we announced to our client that we had found a tenant willing to take the spaces!

Michael Garvey commented “Having sold Thame House to make ourselves homeless, it was fortuitous that we were marketing office premises in the Town Centre that were just right for us.  the new landlord client was a little surprised when I told him who the prospective new tenant was though!  The new offices are more spacious than our old ones and we have been able to practice what we preach, the fact that the quality of a firm’s premises are a reflection of its corporate identity and investing in good quality premises can have a direct bearing on the success of the business”
