Do your homework before

changing address of firmH

AVING the rightpremises, whether amajormanufacturingfacility or a small

office suite, can play a vital rolein business success and have areal effect on the bottom line.

But one Worcestershirecommercial property agent saysthat when it comes to changingproperty, too manyorganisations do not give theirfull consideration to ensuringthey get it right.

John Dillon of JP DillonCommercial PropertyConsultants in Droitwich and

Bromsgrove says that movingpremises is a disruptive,difficult and time costly for anyorganisation, but these negativeeffects on the smooth operationof the business are made evenworse if major aspects of theproperty search are overlooked,namely: identifying needs,timescales, leaving existingpremises, availability ofproperty and budget.

Mr Dillon offers some simpleadvice on acquiring newcommercial premises.

Far too many commercialproperty enquiries are made byorganisations looking to movethat have not consideredfundamental details, such asthe size or nature of theproperty they require.

It is vital to get the

specification right because mostbusinesses do not oftenrelocate. This can begin with aspace audit, which determinesthe floor space requirements ofthe business.

Businesses must also considerwhether to buy or rent. Thereare pros and cons on both sidesof the buy/lease equation,ranging from flexibility andcapital commitment, through totax breaks and financialincentives available to help cutthe cost of the move.

It is vital to be realistic abouttimescales and to leave enoughtime for any contingency. If thechosen premises are new-buildor being purpose-built, it canoften take between nine monthsand two years for the

development to reachcompletion.Furthermore furniture,

equipment, plant and utilities,which are essential to theoperation of the business, canalso be subject to longer lead-times than anticipated.

How easy is it to vacate anexisting property? For example,what are the conditions of anylease held and the requirementsfor notices and liabilities fordilapidations.

How long it will take to assignor sell any existing premises,depending on prevailing market

conditions. It is important tofactor in any exit costs, such aslease break penalties, anddilapidations/repair costs, aswell as any survey costs andprofessional advice.

Despite a plethora of agents,many businesses are surprised

just how few availableproperties meet their specificneeds.

Mr Dillon approaches thishurdle by determining thegeneral locations or specificbuildings that his clients feelwill meet their needs and theninvestigating whether there isscope for negotiation to securepremises off market, as well asthe accommodation which is

being openly advertised.Businesses should be realistic

about their budget when theyrelocate and consider everypotential cost of the move. Forexample, it is time wasted toconsider premises if they willultimately be too expensive tooccupy or fit out.

Take into account additionalcosts such as business rates,insurance and service charges,if they apply.

Ultimately, businesses need tobe able to relocate to the rightpremises, achieve best value formoney, meet the required

timescale with the end goal ofachieving minimum disruptionto operations and making asmooth transition to enable abusiness to continue its growth.

To help organisations achievethis goal, Mr Dillons companyprovides an acquisitions servicedesigned to find the correctpremises and negotiatefavourable terms.

Using qualified charteredsurveyors who have an intimateknowledge of local propertymarkets can save businesses agood deal of time and money.

A RARE opportunity to securea large site of good qualitywarehousing and offices, withthe potential for additionalbuildings on adjacent land, hascome to the market inWorcestershire.

Corbett Business Park, atShaw Lane, Stoke Prior, nearBromsgrove, consists of a 10,800sq ft of office building and twowarehouse units of 73,000 sq ftand 25,000 sq ft. There is also asix-acre plot of land for furtherdevelopment.

Just two miles from junctionfive of the M5, the site hasexcellent access to the widermotorway network includingthe M6, M42, M40 and M50.

Richard Tomlinson, ofWorcester-based agents HallsCommercial, said: CorbettBusiness Park provides a very

good opportunity formanufacturers or distributioncompanies that may beconsidering relocating to a sitewith first class transport links.

It is in a semi-rural area yetvery close to the motorway. It isself-contained and very secure,having security gates, a gatehouse and its boundariesinclude a railway to the rearand a canal atthe front. It isalso possible to easily sub-divide the units to suit thespace that is required byoccupiers.

Formerly occupied by Linpac,

all the buildings are nowvacant. They are being offeredfreehold or leasehold, either asa whole or sub-divided asrequired.

Mr Tomlinson said: CorbettBusiness Park is an ideallocation for a major storage anddistribution company or amanufacturer. The largerwarehouse is divided into fourequal bays of 18,000 sq ft andhas eight level-access loadingdoors, a loading canopy andautomated racking. It has aneaves height of 6.5 metres.

The smaller warehouse isdivided into two equal bays of12,500 sq ft with similarspecification and comes withplanning consent to extend byan additional 17,380 sq ft.

The business park may alsosuit companies that require

smaller units as the existingwarehousing lends itself tobeing sub divided.

The two-storey offices arelocated at the entrance to thesite. Constructed in 2004, thebuilding is well specifiedthroughout and has lift access,air conditioning, recessedlighting and 52 designated carparking spaces.

Located to the east of thesmaller warehouse, the sixacres of land is suitable forB1/2/8 development and isreached by a new road to therear of the office and

warehouse buildings.Halls Commercial provides

specialist commercial propertyservices to a wide range ofclients throughout theWorcestershire, Herefordshire,Shropshire and the Midlands.

Partner Robert Championsaid: It is well documentedthat there is a national shortageof good quality distributionwarehousing throughout theUK and therefore this site is arare opportunity which willappeal to many businesses.

We are in discussions withlogistics companies, storageand distribution firms andmanufacturers.

The shed market has held upvery well and we are getting tothe stage, particularly aroundWorcestershire and the southof Birmingham, where there is

a distinct lack of supply of bigsheds.There isnt a lot of land

available either for thesedevelopments so if a companyneeds a big shed relativelyquickly they really dont havetoo many options.

Corbett Business Park is ingood condition, has good eavesheight and is economically veryattractive.

A large number of bids werereceived prior to the sale as aresult of the pre-sale advertisingand marketing and, to gasps fromthose in the room bidding openedat 1,600.

Two telephone bidders were leftto listen to proceedings from thesidelines as those in the sale roomand spirited buyers on theinternet pushed the price above

The buyer, a UK internet bidder,reported afterwards that he wasat the very limit of his budgetand was anxious to fend off the

The sale was run in conjunctionwith the-saleroom.com withinternet interest and most of thecollectable lots came from buyersregistered in America, Canada,New Zealand, Australia, Taiwan,Singapore, Scandanavia andcontinental Europe.There werealso many UK bidders.

The sale included a largecollection of comics, mostly inboxed lots, and once again therewas significant specialist interest.
