Lambert Smith Hampton (LSH) has leased a newly-refurbished industrial unit on Marlborough Close, Knutsford, to cricket equipment supplier Rominda Cricket Ltd, setting a new headline rent.

LSH advised the landlord to fully refurbish the 5,218 sq ft Unit A and neighbouring units in order to meet current demand in the market and benefit from rental uplift.

The lease of Unit A at a new headline rent of £6.95 per sq ft highlights the demand in the market for refurbished industrial space. 

Unit C, 5,309 sq ft and Unit D, 5,240 sq ft are both still available which can be combined providing 10,549 sq ft of accommodation with the benefit of 10 car parking spaces per unit. The units are available for immediate occupation.  

Marlborough Close lies on the popular, established Parkgate Industrial Estate on the outskirts of Knutsford. The estate benefits from close access to the M6 motorway and nearby Manchester Airport.

Guy Jackson, Director – Industrial and Logistics at Lambert Smith Hampton, said:

“We are delighted to have secured the letting for Unit A. Throughout the refurbishment programme, we have actively marketed the units and received strong interest. The letting on Unit A at the new headline rental tone clearly demonstrates the demand in the local market and we are already receiving strong interest in Unit C and Unit D.”

Andy Woodard of Rominda Cricket said:

“Unit A Marlborough Close provides the high quality space we’ve been looking for, following a comprehensive search of the area. The location is ideal for our needs, allowing us to provide an excellent service to our customers.”
