Expanding DIY centre buys new 10,000 sq premises

Am expanding independent DIY centre has bought a 10,000 sq ft premises in Wigston, Leicester.

Build Yard has bought the unit on Aylestone Lane in a deal brokered by Reg Pollock of APB (Leicester), who represented vendor Power Tools, and Adam Burdett of Intali.

Pollock, a partner at APB, said: “The property attracted a huge amount of interest when we brought it to the market. This is due to a shortage of available stock in the Leicester area and secondly the appeal of the yard and proximity to the motorway network.

“After a short marketing campaign and identifying Adam’s client, we managed to complete the deal in 12 weeks from the initial marketing. This was a testament to hard work by all parties during the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Working with Intali and Adam is always a pleasure as we know that his clients have always performed, and we had no issues in progressing the sale forwards with him.”

Power Towers has moved production to its newly-built 100,000 sq ft industrial unit on Sunningdale Road.

Burdett said: “We are delighted to have secured this unit for Build Yard and are grateful to Reg and his client for the thoroughly professional way they handled the deal under difficult lockdown conditions.”
