FHP News

Now we are entering the end of July and my one-year anniversary at FHP is in sight. Having finished my A levels just over a year ago I can truly say that time has flown. I have thoroughly enjoyed my first year of work at FHP whether that be assisting colleagues or, more so now, negotiating deals and talking to my own clients. On top of that, I am attending Nottingham Trent University one day a week as I look to obtain my degree in Chartered Surveying Real Estate in 4 years’ time.

The first year has gone by extremely quickly and I have adapted to the full-time work lifestyle. I have learnt a lot in such a small amount of time, but I still have plenty more to learn. I am applying my knowledge every day and I am really benefiting from the experience of colleagues around me. My role at FHP is within the Office and Industrial team in Derbyshire and I also assist the retail team. I deal with the sale and leasing of commercial property.

During my time so far, I have completed 11 commercial property deals with a further 4 currently under offer. I have completed a several lettings at Amber Business Centre in Riddings, an industrial/warehouse estate. A personal highlight was completing lettings on two industrial/warehouse deals while putting a further one under offer in the same week. Industrial freehold opportunities are hard to come by in Derby, so when I had the chance to work with the client at 14-16 Cotton Brook Road and successfully sell their property, it gave me a great understanding of the freehold market.

I have also negotiated a letting at 6 East Street, a city centre high street property, which will be my first letting in the retail sector. Recently, I have brought to the market Rodin House in Ripley. This is a first-floor office building with an open plan layout and a couple of meeting rooms.

The last 12 months has provided me with an invaluable experience. FHP, alongside Nottingham Trent University, has helped build my knowledge and help me apply it to the work that I do on a daily basis.

If you’re interested in any properties that we have, please do not hesitate to contact me on 07398 443 828 / harry.gamble@fhp.co.uk.
