Team approach maximises commercial property potential – May 2012

Posted on May 6, 2012 by Vanessa Penn

There’s a old Flanders and Swann song “The Gasman Cometh” that brilliantly illustrates a very common problem. For those too young to remember, it starts with – initially – the repairing of a gas tap.
It illustrates how a task can spiral when each tradesman takes responsibility for only his own area of work – and no more. The costs and the time involved, get totally out of control.
Situations like this arise everywhere, not least in the world of commercial property. For instance, do you need a surveyor, an architect, a commercial property consultant to help you maximise your commercial property investment?
Here in Ipswich there’s an innovative solution – BGDC, a consortium of commercial property experts who see jobs through from start to finish, drawing on each others’ areas of expertise for the benefit of clients.
Take the example of Electric House, a prominent office building in the centre of Ipswich. It had been vacant for seven years before being bought by Corindale Properties Ltd.
It’s a bit of a landmark in Ipswich, and it’s in a very convenient place too – a stone’s throw from the central shopping area, overlooking the bus station and with at least three car parks within two minutes walk.
BGDC’s early discussions with local planning authorities (via Leslie Short of Peecock Short), established that there was an appetite for something radical on the site. At that point architects (Barefoot Gilles) came into the picture to design and cost options for an attractive retail/restaurant on ground floor, with stunningly designed office/hotel space or similar on the upper floors.
We at Penn Commercial now have the exciting part of letting the property (having sold it to the owners in the first place!)
That’s just the first in a line of projects… because we’ve also working on providing solutions for the long-neglected Eastgates development in the centre of Ipswich.
Again the plan is to maximise the opportunities for the owners, by looking at a variety of options and costing them out, seeking approval from planning authorities and understanding how to market properties that have real potential.

EPC legislation changes – April 2012

Posted on May 6, 2012 by admin

EPCs (Energy Performance Certificates) – they’ve been with us since October 2008 as applied to domestic properties – but it was all-change from 6th April.
They’re all about everybody understanding basic things before they commit to a property – like the level of insulation, the likely energy consumption… and therefore costs!
With energy costs as they are, this really is “must-know” information.
If you’re dealing with a competent commercial property agent, then you’ve no need to worry, as it’ll be their responsibility to make sure everything is compliant.
But if you’re worried that’s not the case, then read on… it’s not complicated but very strict timeframes are applied and there are penalties for non-compliance for your agent.
1. An EPC is extended to the sale and rent of non residential/commercial properties
2. Your marketing agent can be fined £200 per property listed if an EPC isn’t available on request (we don’t intend being caught out by that one!)
3. The EPC must be ordered prior to the start of the marketing campaign. This has always been the case, but now it’s going to be more rigorously policed!
4. An EPC must be produced seven days from start of marketing a property (that can be extended to 21 days, but only in exceptional circumstances)
5. A copy needs to be attached to marketing particulars… in hard copy and online

Penn sponsors Olympic Games handball hopeful Louise Jukes December 2011

Posted on December 7, 2011 by Vanessa Penn

Apart from commercial property, sport is a way of life for me. When I’m not talking about new developments, surveys, planning permissions and the like, I’m on the tennis court, playing squash, watching football or giving my time voluntarily to Ipswich Sports Club.
So, I was delighted to have the chance to sponsor Suffolk girl, Louise Jukes, a rising star of the handball world in conjunction with Ipswich Sports Club. She’s bright, talented, enthusiastic and an inspiration! Here I am with Louise and Andy Yorke, IPSC Manager. Penn Commercial & Ipswich Sports Club Sponsor handball hopeful Louise Jukes But what made my sponsorship all the more exciting was the chance to see her play handball at a “tester” event at the new Olympic Park just down the line at Stratford.
Whilst the result went against the England team – Team GB were walloped 6-1 to Austria – it was a great experience. And hey ho, there’s seven or eight months still to go! The game was played at the Handball Stadium, a brand new facility, spanking new and pretty much ready for the games to begin. Hundreds of schoolchildren were treated to the experience of a lifetime (unless of course they get to see the actual games too…)

The security was slick, the staff on hand very friendly and the whole experience a real treat.

Perhaps the whole event is going to cost GB a bundle. Perhaps in this current climate there might be better ways to spend the money, but…Life’s much more than just business and money. What we have with the Olympics is a chance to show off some world-class facilities, some home-grown star talent and the kind of organisation and give the world the kind of welcome that we excel at.
Goodness knows, if there was nothing to lighten the gloom of Eurozone meltdowns, double-dip recessions and banking crises, we’d all be stir-crazy!
I’m – for one – right behind our heroic Team GB all the way. And so excited about next summer’s Olympics…

Bring it on!

SUFFOLK: A county with a bright future November 2011

Posted on November 17, 2011 by Vanessa Penn

Suffolk is quietly preparing to meet the needs of the future. There are exciting ideas
on the table for future development in its county town of Ipswich. Its cultural counterpart Bury St Edmunds remains a big tourist attraction and the Port of Felixstowe continues to expand its capacity. In a double financial coup for the county, approval has been granted for the development of a massive 121 hectare enterprise park in Great Yarmouth (just over the border into Norfolk) and the Suffolk town of Lowestoft. Six sites in the area could attract as many as 80 businesses by 2015. Evidence from the private sector suggests that Enterprise Zone status will make a huge difference and may be a tipping point for investment in the two adjacent counties.

Key priorities for the new Local Enterprise Partnership include:
• Duelling of the A11
• A14 improvements
• Improvement of freight rail links from Felixstowe to the Midlands
• Upgrade of passenger rail links east/west
• Job creation building on the success of the region
• Creating a core group of engineers, scientists and entrepreneurs locally to meet demand.

The new University Campus Suffolk will have a big part to play as Suffolk is quietly preparing to meet the needs of the future.

Container traffic increases – what’s in it for us? 7th October 2011

Posted on October 7, 2011 by Vanessa Penn

The opening of the Port of Felixstowe’s new deepwater terminals consolidates its position as the UK’s largest container port. It’s now capable of accommodating the world’s largest container ships. They’re indeed whoppers! We’re told that when the Emma Maersk calls in, the containers it carries, laid end to end, would stretch all the way to Norwich!
Berths 8&9 are the first stage in a £1BN plus inward investment programme in Hutchisons’ UK ports. The port, which up till now has been handling 40 percent of the country’s container cargo (£60BN of imports/exports value) should increase the monetary value of its imports/exports by a further third. Of course, it’s come at a good time for the region, which is suffering the effects of recession (double dip?). It’ll bring 1500 new jobs, and hopefully attract new industry. A couple of questions though.
How will our creaking road system handle this? Felixstowe is served only by dual carriageways. We’ve not a motorway in the county. And our two major through-routes – the A12 &A14 – both funnel over the Orwell Bridge. It takes only an over-turned truck, a minor accident or even a dog running in the road, for our network to fall on its knees.
And whilst we’ve got a whole load of hi tech road signs, they seem to warn us only how far away Cambridge is (as if it moves from day to day!) and warns us – by giving junction numbers only of hold-up on the M25? (I can’t be alone in not memorising all the junction numbers on the UK’s road network!)
If the road is blocked, does it have an alternative to offer? Not really.
The planned construction of a third rail terminal in 2012 is welcome news. And whilst a lot of cargo already travels by rail in/out of the port, it doesn’t seem that way when we’re stuck in yet another traffic jam!
Secondly, what other benefits derive from this expansion? As a commercial property agent, I know that companies operating out of Felixstowe find it tough to locate convenient hardstanding and warehousing for containers. Many are forced to source this kind of space well outside of Suffolk – such is the pressure on space. At the risk of sounding a bit churlish, what’s in it for Suffolk?
How many of the benefits are being felt by this community? Or is it all simply money passing through, much like the contents of container ships?

Energy Performance Certificates September 2011

Posted on September 5, 2011 by Mike

The requirement to assess the energy rating of all buildings dates back to the Kyoto Protocol, signed by the ‘Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change’ in December 1997.
The initiative for the European Community was to improve national energy efficiencies and reduce carbon emissions through the Energy Performance in Buildings Directive (EPBD) which came into force on the 4th January 2003.This requires EU nations to develop a consistent method of assessing energy performance and to provide certificates that register performance and promote dissemination of energy efficiency information to occupiers and other building users.
In the UK, the Department for Communities and Local Government (CLG) is the government department responsible for administering the introduction of the EPBD and this was first effected through legislation in 2007. Buildings are assessed under 3 categories:
• Level 3 – Buildings with simple heating and/or air conditioning systems (ie Heating boilers under 100KW output and air con under 12 KW output)
• Level 4 – Buildings with more complicated heating and cooling systems (all new buildings are treated as Level 4 assessments)
• Level 5 – Buildings with very complicated heating and/or cooling systems
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are required for the sale or letting of all buildings, whether domestic or commercial. Whilst those for domestic buildings are at a fairly basic/general level and are carried out by Domestic Energy Assessors (DEAs), those for commercial buildings are more detailed and complicated and are carried out by Non- Domestic Energy Assessors (NDEAs). In each case, those carrying out Energy Surveys have to be suitably qualified and meet minimum standards laid down through various Accreditation bodies, with rigorous monitoring procedures.
Penn Commercial employ, Mike Simpson FRICS who is qualified in both sectors to carry out their EPC’s.

Productive working spaces August 2011

Posted on August 12, 2011 by Vanessa Penn

So good to see the iconic Sir Norman Foster-designed Willis building highlighted on the terrific Channel 4 series “The Secret Life of Buildings” this week.

His point was that the eminent architect took his inspiration for an open plan workspace from the American model. Whilst it’s been a terrific success and still looks just as wonderful as it did when it was built.

Whilst the workers have lost the use of the swimming pool – it was boarded over to create more working space – it still remains untouched for posterity. That’s thanks to its Grade 1 listed status.

Tom Dyckhoff explained that its imitators gradually watered down the concept, so that today’s open plan offices – whilst looking very striking and avant garde from the outside – are bland spaces. The workers are often little more than battery hens each in their enclosures churning through piles of paperwork.

He made comparisons with the very inventive office buildings created in the Netherlands and in Germany. They’d given real thought to what stimulates workers to perform well, by creating clever break out areas, interesting and colourful decor and stimulating layouts.

Happily, in our smaller towns, whilst there are some open plan work spaces, there are many more offices that retain real character and interest. Our signature Tudor buildings with interesting sloping ceilings and exposed beams, along with those of elegant Georgian construction, with large windows and high ceilings make for inspiring work spaces.

So interesting were the findings of the programme – the impact on a school from a redesign was astonishing – that it’s worth us all stopping and thinking about what we can do to improve our workspaces. Even house plants scattered amongst the desks had a positive effect.

So, it’s down to the garden centre this afternoon. And then drop into the DIY store for some fuschia pink and lime green paints for the walls!

Well, that’s a relief to know July 2011

Posted on July 14, 2011 by Vanessa Penn

Can anyone really get their head around tax in this country? That is, apart from the accountants? To the rest of us the red tape surrounding CGT, Inheritance Tax, etc. (and “relief” thereof) looks like tangled knitting wool. My own personal “relief” often comes from a chilled glass of something French at the end of the week (although I’m quite partial to Australian too!)

Take for instance the “Entrepreneur’s Relief” on commercial property, much heralded three years ago. What happens to such plans – and whether they ever make it any more straightforward – is really a mystery. One thing’s for certain we’re utterly baffled by the HMRC’s guidance. And it concerns us that with a shrinking of public services their monumental backlog could just get worse!

HMRC’s website – speaking of commercial property – rather cryptically says: If you sell or dispose of property and don’t qualify for Private Residence Relief – for example if you sell a buy-to-let property, agricultural land, farm buildings or business premises – these are liable for Capital Gains Tax and you must work out the gain or loss.

Examples of property which may be used in a business include:
• agricultural land
• farm buildings
• a shop
• a factory or warehouse
• a furnished holiday letting in the European Economic Area

If the property counts as a business asset the following reliefs may be available for Capital Gains Tax purposes:

• Business Asset Roll-Over Relief – All or part of your gain may be postponed if you buy another property or certain other assets for business use.
• Gifts Hold-Over Relief – If you give away your property all or part of your gain may be postponed until the property is sold. In most cases the person you give it to will pay any Capital Gains Tax.
• Entrepreneurs’ Relief – There’s a maximum lifetime limit on the amount of Entrepreneurs’ Relief you can claim on qualifying gains. For 2010-11, from 6 April 2010 the limit is the first £2 million of gains made. The limit increased to £5 million from 23 June 2010. The budget proposes this limit will increase to £10 million from 6 April 2011.

If you’re trading in property – for example you’re buying and improving houses to sell them at a profit – you may be liable to Income Tax not Capital Gains Tax.
Pass that bottle, will you?
