Refurbishment leads to lettings success

The engagement of BTG Eddisons’ building consultancy services has provided a new lease of life for two adjoining industrial units and played a vital part in securing new tenant interest in the properties.

That’s the view of BTG Eddisons’ agency in Huntingdon who were instructed to let the two light industrial/workshop units at 15 and 17 on Burrel Road within the Somersham Road Industrial Estate in St Ives, Cambridgeshire.

In the initial agency advice to the owner, both units presented as ‘tired’ through the lens of potential occupiers seeking available stock in the market. Through other service lines of BTG Eddisons, the firm was able to provide a comprehensive refurbishment with the Huntingdon agency re-letting the units once the programme of works had started.

The pair of units - total approximately 6,517 sq ft - have now been let to two separate entities.

Matthew Hunt, BTG Eddisons, who led the firm’s agency on both instructions at Burrel Road, said, “On-the-ground agency experience and knowledge of the local area are vital in these scenarios to ensure that any works undertaken are likely to be well-received by the market.

“Our complete service package was, for sure, the driving force in concluding matters.”
