Curchod & Co is pleased to announce the successful sales of both Westward House and Unit 10 Westward House, Glebeland Road, Camberley, to Wilson Electrical Distributor Limited. Westward House was originally brought to market on a leasehold basis before a sale was agreed and subsequently concluded.
Westward House comprising approximately 6,000 sq ft of office and warehouse accommodation over 3 floors was initially marketed to let, providing flexible business space in a well-established commercial location. During the marketing process it became apparent that a freehold acquisition would be a more suitable route for the eventual purchaser, and terms were subsequently agreed for the sale.
Importantly, while progressing the sale of Westward House, Curchod & Co were also instructed to market neighbouring Unit 10 – Westward House, a detached warehouse and office building extending to approximately 2,530 sq ft. Wilson Electrical Distributor Limited recognised the opportunity to acquire both assets and subsequently agreed terms to purchase Unit 10 as well.
The transactions provide the purchaser with a significant presence on the Yorktown Industrial Estate and demonstrates the value of maintaining close dialogue with buyers throughout the marketing and transactional process.
Josie Reeves, Surveyor at Curchod & Co LLP, commented:
“Westward House was originally launched to the market to let, but through discussions with interested parties it became clear that a sale would better meet the purchaser’s objectives. Having successfully negotiated the sale of the main building, we were subsequently instructed on Unit 10 and were delighted to secure a further transaction with the same purchaser. Both Transactions were completed in a very short timeframe.
These deals highlight the benefit of remaining flexible throughout the marketing process and understanding our clients’ objectives, as well as those of potential occupiers and purchasers. We’re pleased to have delivered a positive outcome for our clients and wish Wilson Electrical Distributor Limited every success with their continued expansion in Camberley.”
