For the first time since a major refurbishment programme was completed, all the office units at Furzehall Farm in Fareham have been snapped up, as new tenants have moved into the last remaining available space.
Situated just off the A32 Wickham Road to the North of Fareham town centre, Furzehall Farm has good links to the M27 motorway for easy access to both Portsmouth and Southampton. The farm buildings were originally converted into convenient and well-appointed office units some years ago. In 2013 a rolling refurbishment programme was undertaken to provide high quality self-contained units and open plan offices with shared access to conference facilities and meeting rooms. All the units also have their own on-site parking facilities
New tenants now include landscape architect and environmental planner, Influence CLA which has taken a five year lease on units 17 & 18 and Cura Home Care, a specialist new home repair and maintenance contractor has taken a short lease on unit 6 as its operations expand across the south coast.
Hampshire law firm Graeme Quar & Co, has added units 8-10 to its existing premises at Orchard House at Furzehall Farm and Petersfield. The firm has recently set up a new division offering wills, trusts and probate, but rather than relocating has expended by opening a second office adjacent to its current Furzehall Farm base.
Tom Holloway, Agency Director at property consultants Holloway, Iliffe & Mitchell who led these transactions commented:
“The recent deals at Furzehall Farm continue to demonstrate the increase in demand for well-located high quality space across the South. Following the refurbishment programme last year, we had interest in these offices from numerous potential occupiers all looking for similar space and could easily have let them several times over.”
Holloway Iliffe & Mitchell has had a long association with Furzehall Farm acting as Managing Agent for the scheme for several years, overseeing the refurbishment and ensuring both landlord and tenants have what they need.
Graeme Quar, Managing Director of Graeme Quar & Co added:
“Being located at Furzhall Farm suits our business needs perfectly. We have been here for over 20 years and following two years of rapid expansion of staff numbers, we needed additional space.
“The decision to expand at Furzehall Farm was an easy one as the facilities offer what we need. With easy access and on-site parking, we didn’t need to contemplate a major office move which would have been costly and time consuming, as what we needed was already here.”
