We’re proud of our team of 8, who have donated their top lips to the cause, sporting a variety of moustache styles.

In 2004, with a lease expiry on one of their larger warehouses approaching, Bentley Designs asked Brasier Freeth to consider the options available for a new facility (either freehold or leasehold) over an area encompassing the M40 corridor and the M25-M1/A41 corridor.

All options were considered, including land purchase, negotiation with existing Landlords (a major landowner in the target area) before the brief was narrowed down to a 60,000 sq ft facility within close proximity of the existing warehouse and HQ.

Brasier Freeth sourced a number of potential options and undertook preliminary negotiations with various landowners before the client selected the option of a new purpose built facility at Auriol Drive Greenford, a short distance from the existing property.

Negotiations were complicated due to the need to allow Bentley Designs to extricate themselves if the developer (Lothbury Property Unit Trust) failed to secure planning consent. Negotiation was also necessary to secure short term accommodation for the client when the constructionprogramme overran and to enable the client to secure necessary enhancements to the warehouse and office specification.

Brasier Freeth also assisted in providing Building Surveying Consultancy personnel to monitor the construction throughoutand the selection of contractors to fit out the offices and showroom. Bentley Designs took delivery of the new facility in early 2008 at a highly competitive rental and with the benefit of a lengthy rent free period.

Working on behalf of SEGRO, Brasier Freeth in conjunction with joint agents CBRE, recently let 150 Maylands Avenue an 88,000sq.ft industrial unit in Hemel Hempstead to Gyron Internet.  The deal involved SEGRO taking a surrender of a lease on the property with the tenant taking additional space within the SEGRO portfolio elsewhere, which meant that 150 Maylands Avenue could then be re-let to Gyron Internet on a new 20 year lease.

Gyron is a Data Centre Operator and as part of the deal, SEGRO provided a package of incentives to allow Gyron to fit-out and enhance the power supply in the building up to 8MVA.

Owned by Grosvenor Asset Management, Festival Place is anchored by Debenhams, BHS and Marks and Spencer. Additional branches have been opened in Merry Hill and Crawley and we’re pleased that Brasier Freeth will continue to work with Warren James, advising on related property matters.
