(17/05/07)

Lambert Smith Hampton are pleased to announce on behalf of their clients Seaward Properties, the letting of Block 100 to Glanvilles Solicitors who were represented by Vail Williams.

Glanvilles Solicitors have signed a 10 year lease on the whole of Block 100, which amounts to approximately 5,239 sq ft.

The letting to Glanvilles is one of three recent deals at Langstone Gate which reiterates Seaward Properties belief in this landmark building in Havant, proving there is sufficient office demand within the town.

Lambert Smith Hampton reported that since Seaward Properties acquired the site at the end of last year, they have received a lot of enquiries and a good level of viewings which have resulted in three lettings.

Seaward Properties are carrying out an extensive refurbishment programme of the building which has included installing a new air conditioning system, ceilings, lighting as well as re-decorating and renewing WC facilities and generally up-dating the space to meet modern occupier demands.

Lambert Smith Hampton are also pleased to announce that Seaward Properties will be introducing the successful Metro Business Centre format within part of Langstone Gate. This offers tenants easy in easy out terms and the amount of space from 200 sq ft upwards together with conference and meeting room space.
David Geering at Seaward Properties comments:

These are very prominent A27 buildings enjoying excellent on and off site parking and all town centre facilities including bus and rail station are within easy walking distance. With two new retail parks close to completion and the existing Tesco store next door, Havant is well placed to expand.

We are delighted to welcome the Glanvilles team to Langstone Gate. This letting follows hard on the heels of last month’s to the Southsea Mortgage & Investment Company Limited. Notwithstanding this there is still up to 24,000 sq ft available so we welcome new enquiries.

Langstone Gate has historically been an important landmark building in Havant, located at the entrance to the town and it is certainly encouraging for the area generally to see the lights on and people working at their desks in this newly refurbished accommodation.

Jerry Vigus, Director at Lambert Smith Hampton comments:

“We were pleased to be able to advise Seaward Properties whilst they have been carrying out extensive refurbishment programme on the building, there has certainly been a good level of occupier interest. Seaward Properties have invested a lot of money and resources in the building so it meets modern day requirements, which helped secure Glanvilles as a tenant.

Glanvilles came to us with a requirement and we had to meet a tight timescale, not only carrying out the refurbishment works but also to meet their occupation deadline. Both parties were able to achieve this by working closely together.

Charles Small, Partner at Glanvilles comments

‘The move marks the beginning of an exciting era for Glanvilles. Purpose built and recently modernised offices will enable us to take full advantage of modern technology including the latest IT and telecoms equipment. This will also allow better communication with Glanvilles offices in Fareham and Newport on the Isle of Wight.The offices also provide Glanvilles staff with a new, modern environment to work. Most important of all , the move will allow Glanvilles to continue to sustain and improve a high level of service to our clients.’
