SITUATION
The property is situated in an established industrial area and adjacent properties include a purpose-built Royal Mail sorting and delivery office and a substantial modern retail warehouse occupied by Porcelenosa. To the east are five small sites which have each been developed with purpose-built detached industrial units. To the west the property abuts the East Coast rail line. Occupiers in the vicinity include:
DESCRIPTION
The property comprises an industrial estate of 44 individual units totalling approximately 43,078 sq ft on a gross internal area basis. Of the 44 units, 11 have been sold off on a long leasehold basis with the remainder providing approximately 32,139 sq ft in total. The estate is rectangular in shape with a gross site area of approximately 3.4 acres (1.4 hectares). The units are located in two blocks flanked by parking areas and separated by adopted roads. The units are of steel portal frame construction, with profile steel sheet cladding to the external walls and roof covering. The roofs incorporate translucent roof lights and are lined with insulation board. All units benefit from private WC facilities and three phase electricity supplies. Units 1-27 benefit from roller shutter doors, whilst 28-44 have timber folding doors. The individual units range in size from 410 to 1,895 sq ft each and are suited to a range of businesses.
LOCAL INDUSTRIAL OCCUPATIONAL MARKET COMMENTARY
Peterborough is one of the UK’s fastest growing cities and as a result demand for industrial units has steadily increased in recent months with local agents reporting 57% decreased availability in stock over the period from May 2015 to July 2016. The biggest fall in availability has been reported in sub 2,000 sq ft units as provided by the subject property and this shortage in industrial stock is leading to upwards pressure on both rents and in-turn capital values.
