PROPERTY SEARCH SOUTH EAST RECENT DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS OVERSEAS Case Study INVESTMENT AT SANDS TURNS A PROFIT Investment of £750,000 in major refurbishment works on the Sands Industrial Estate in High Wycombe paid off with a quick and successful sale being achieved. Bought by Northumberland Estates in 2012 the site is well located, just off the M40. Ten industrial units constructed in the late 70’s and early 80’s provided around 132,000 sq ft of industrial space, but the poor condition of the units had led to a number of voids. Implementation of a full refurbishment programme which included re cladding, re roofing and a internal refurbishment resulted in the units being brought up to modern day standards. The development and asset management work the Estate undertook ensured the site was refurbished to a high standard and was quickly fully occupied. This dramatic improvement in the income generated from the asset, alongside an improvement in market demand from investors, produced a quick and successful sale of the site by Northumberland Estates. Case Study IMPROVEMENTS AND INVESTMENT AT CAXTON COURT When Northumberland Estates purchased the Caxton Court industrial Estate in Watford in 2014 it was with a view to unlocking additional value at the site, identified by the in-house commercial property and planning teams. A popular commercial industrial estate of around 65,000 sq ft, all of the seven units at Caxton Court were occupied at purchase. What Northumberland Estates had in mind was to create the space to add additional units, by reconfiguring the surrounding area. Research had demonstrated a need locally for smaller units and a wider size range. With this in mind discussions began with the four tenants in occupation. A scheme was devised which left the existing units unchanged in terms of space, but offered the tenants improvements to the site including extensive landscaping while, at the same time, creating enough space to develop four smaller but high spec units on site.
