The Challenge: When a 30,000 sq ft former school site in Nottingham went into administration, Innes England were initially appointed to provide an accurate market valuation and were subsequently instructed to dispose of the site. The property’s specialist educational use meant it required a targeted marketing approach to reach the most relevant operators and investors. The client needed clear, evidence-based advice and a well-structured sales strategy to achieve best value within a competitive, but niche market.
The Challenge: Marchdown Holdings undertook a comprehensive refurbishment of six trade counter units at Limesquare Trade Park to reposition the estate as a modern, attractive location for occupiers. The landlord required swift and effective marketing of the refurbished units to secure new tenants and demonstrate early success at the scheme.
