Industrial/Warehouse News

Property agents Fisher Hargreaves Proctor are delighted to announce that they have successfully completed the letting of the former Regency Garage on Station Road in Carlton. 

The former car sales and MOT garage is 2,690ft² and given its current use as an MOT garage it was absolutely ideal for the new tenants, MOT Max.  The acquisition of Station Road, Carlton will help their rapid and aggressive expansion plans.  MOT Max, as their name suggests, are an MOT testing facility and they have committed to the site on a 10 year lease.

James Hartley, Surveyor at Fisher Hargreaves Proctor commented:

“We are delighted to have completed this letting to MOT Max so quickly after placing the property on the market.  The property had only been available since the end of January and with MOT Max viewing at the end of February, here we are mid May with the letting completed. 

This sort of timescale for marketing is fantastic particularly at the moment given the general consensus in the media is that people are not willing to commit to a new premises but this just goes to show that deals are achievable and that given the right approach from all sides a quick letting can be achieved.”

A spokesman from the landlords further commented:

“We are delighted to have completed this letting so soon and to achieve a 10 year lease to a company such as MOT Max is absolutely fantastic for us. 

Given much of the press we were reading we were unsure as to whether we would be able to achieve a letting on this property at all let alone so quickly.  We are very thankful to FHP for their committed and thorough approach to the marketing of this property. 

The unit itself was almost ready made for MOT use and means that MOT Max have been able to move straight in and almost start operating from day one.”

A spokesman from MOT Max further commented:

“It was great to come across this property and to be able to move in so quickly was fantastic for us.  The fact that this garage already had good road frontage, an MOT bay and a sized yard meant that this was perfect for us.  We currently have an aggressive expansion plan and this is the first of many MOT stations we will be opening which will allow us to offer our unbiased and specialised MOT service.

All of our MOT testers operate strictly within the VOSA Testing Guidelines and we feel very confident that we will be extremely successful from this site.  Our cars actually have an 89% pass rate on their MOT’s against a national pass rate of 67.5% and I am sure it will be the same at this testing station.”
