Vail Williams’ staff for the Solent region grew in numbers to 50 after the business incorporated fellow commercial property consultancy Hughes Ellard in June. A five-figure sum has been invested in a refurbished 2,000 sq ft office at 1000 Lakeside, North Harbour, Portsmouth, doubling previous space on site. Managing partner Matthew SamuelCamps said: “The investment in larger premises at 1000 Lakeside, following the merger earlier this summer, underlines our confidence in the future. “Since the deal in June, bringing 26 extra people to the fold, and through Hughes Ellard’s market sector expertise gathered over 45 years, we have increased our customer
offering in offices, industrial, retail and leisure. “Our larger base in Portsmouth is strategically located for our professional services and complements our development appraisal, search and acquisition, valuation, rent review and lease renewal, asset management, building consultancy, disposals and investment advice.” Mr Samuel-Camps added: “This is about providing market-leading advice for clients, with our highly knowledgeable and personable team helping them to grow their businesses profitably.” Vail Williams is the marketing agent for Lakeside, a 120-acre business park, with 3,000 people working for 75 companies on site.

Office & Industrial Occupier News
Top of the league for office deals The combined office deals over the last 12 months have seen the Solent agency team top the Estates Gazette league table for the sixth successive year, with 167,676 sq ft of transactions recorded – 47,676 sq ft more than the nearest competitor. In all the team secured 37 deals, 12 more than any other agency.
The highlights included Lakeside, North Harbour, Portsmouth, which contributed to over 50% of the Solent Corridor’s take up, demonstrating its strong location and environment once again, with Checkatrade taking 10,000 sq ft in building 2000. Russell Mogridge, Partner heading the Transactional Team and responsible for Lakeside, commented: “Lakeside ticks so many boxes for business owners, providing a great deal of wellbeing for staff, with running track, showers and changing rooms, while creating the perfect environment for attracting talent and growing a business.” Nik Cox, Partner based in Southampton, said: “Office supply out-of-town in Southampton is very low, with Botleigh Grange now fully let, with 17,000 sq ft Hawksmoor House being let to Imperial Cars for their headquarters. At the same time, demand is healthy in Southampton
Lakeside, North Harbour
City Centre, with relatively few opportunities.” Russell Mogridge said the refurbishment of Oceana House in Commercial Road is perfectly timed, offering open plan office space with excellent natural light close to the railway station. There’s also a growing trend for businesses to move into town to attract younger staff to the vibrant city . Predictions for 2019 are more of the same, with anticipated business growth in the professional services sectors which, with limited supply, will mean continued rental growth.
Logistics and industrial growth accelerates The Solent industrial and logistics sectors continue to boom, with developers and property funds eager to build units speculatively to meet demand. Following a barren decade in this market, the first wave of such schemes have not only completed but are nearly fully let, with only very large buildings of 100,000 sq ft and above remaining to let. Vail Williams has sold two development sites recently which will see the second wave of development across the south. Both happen to be near Fareham at junction 9 - one in Segensworth, which will deliver just under 100,000 sq ft of units by 2020, and the other at Solent Business Park, Whiteley. The latter is named Logistics City Whiteley, and is to be constructed by Kier Property, which intends obtaining planning consent to build up to 60,000 sq ft of speculative space by the end of next year. There is no doubt that motorway locations and city/town centre will remain very popular. There are examples of businesses fighting over units up to 20,000 sqft , owing to so little stock. The days of the long rent free periods are well and truly over with landlords holding all the cards.
This has led to Vail Williams undertaking more and more occupier work, helping business owners to find new premises on or off market. “Client relocations are usually growth orientated and they prefer to manage their business and rely on us to identify premises and do the legwork for the best possible deal,” said Russell Mogridge. Vail Williams has recently helped a number of businesses to secure new property in line with the required timescales and budgets. Successes include VW Breeze, where a new 12,000 sq ft after sales commercial vehicle facility was secured as a pre-letting and will complete construction nine months from agreeing terms, and a new 6,500 sq ft building in Ringwood for Selwood. “We have live requirements for clients seeking industrial/warehouse space along
Logistics City

the Solent corridor from 15,000 sq ft to 30,000 sq ft as well as development land requirements from 2 to 10 acres.” “We anticipate strong demand for both schemes, which will offer different sized units and configurations,” said Russell Mogridge of Vail Williams. Analysts are predicting 7% rental growth for industrial/logistics space over the next five years, which makes for an attractive proposition for institutional funding and finance. Rents of £9.50 to £10 psf per annum are being achieved in the region and combined with prime industrial yield of 4.75%, this bodes well for speculative development, assuming the required land can be released for commercial development . One of the other reasons why the industrial sector is so attractive to investors, is that when units fall empty they currently attract 6 months business rates relief, to give the landlord time to re-let. Indeed Vail Williams has recently sold the final units at Cobham Industrial Centre, near Ringwood for Ankers and Rawlings - snapped up by business owners and private investors alike attracted to the location and the investment yield that can be generated once let.

Business Rates Advice
Business Rates: The importance of registration
By Rod Bisset
Since the advent of the 2017 Rating List on 1 April 2017 it has been no longer possible to appeal your business rates. The Government have forced all ratepayers down the route of registering on the Valuation Office Agency (VOA) portal, before the process of “Check, Challenge, Appeal” can be started. Often Ratepayers believe their former agents are working in the background when in fact the process has stalled as registration has failed to take place. Often we are told that “my agent is appealing” which serves to bury the problem of business rates administration.
A simple test to undertake is: “Do I remember registering myself, my company and our business premises on the Government Portal?” “Have I appointed an agent by inputting his agent code into our dashboard?” If the answer is No, then it is time to re-visit the process of registration. At Vail Williams we offer an individual service where we visit you and sit with you during the registration process saving you valuable time and worry, however for those that have the appetite to be self-sufficient we have the following description of what is involved. The registration service is currently located at: https://www.tax.service.gov.uk/ business-rates-property-linking/start
The VOA firstly establish whether your company is already issued with a Government Gateway number (often supported by a PIN texted to your company’s nominated mobile phone number). Having logged-in by your gateway number, the Portal will ask for additional details of whom within your organisation they are to be dealing with. At this stage they do ask for your home address, National Insurance number and potentially your passport number. It seems very risky to part with such details, but we are assured they are storing nothing and are merely comparing those details with data already held on other Government databases. Having established you are a real person and authorised to enter information for your organisation the focus turns to claiming a property, this requires a pdf of your latest rate demand and by browsing the Rating List one can identify your own property and follow the screen by screen process of claiming it. Ultimately you will be asked to upload your pre-prepared pdf of the rate demand for that property. After you have added your property or properties you can see the summary of what your organisation has within the system by using your dashboard. The dashboard has a series of tabs, one of which is entitled Agents, choosing this tab you are invited to enter your agents’ 5 digit code and tick the boxes by each property to be included within your chosen agent’s instructions. We, the agent, are in turn notified that we have client instructions pending and from here we can accept the instruction to represent you and start the “Check, Challenge, Appeal” process. Summary: If in doubt – log on to your dashboard and see what properties are being actively “Checked” and “Challenged”? If you do not know how to access your VOA portal dashboard – the chances are you have not set one up yet – seek advice on registration.

Vail Williams’ take on the Solent region
Russell Miller, Partner
As well as brightening up the reception area of Vail Williams’ Southampton office, the infographic hanging on the wall of Savannah House provides an insight into the characteristics that make up the Solent region. The local team got together one afternoon and, true to management-speak, brainstormed some ideas of what they felt were the key attributes and hot topics of the region.
Our hot topics: World Class Universities The Solent boasts no less than five university institutions including the University of Southampton, which is a prestigious ‘Russell Group’ university and recently voted the 18th best university in the UK by the Sunday Times. There is a significant skilled labour force being generated within the region and the challenge is to retain these people in the area to ensure that the Solent prospers both socially and economically.
Attracting Big Business As well as retaining what we have, it is becoming of paramount importance to promote the region more intensely on both a national and international stage. Big business brings with it crucial employment opportunities and can often be the catalyst for regeneration and gentrification. These businesses are selecting locations globally and it therefore requires a clear strategy from business groups such as the Chamber of Commerce and Business South, as well as the political efforts of the various local authorities and local enterprise partnerships, to highlight the benefits of locating here.
Combined Unitary Authority A potential way to better promote the region and accelerate economic growth is thought to be through devolution.
The three main unitary authorities, Isle of Wight Council, Southampton City Council and Portsmouth City Council, together with the Solent LEP are seeking to agree what is termed the ‘Solent Deal’ with the government; the intention being to provide more local control, provide extra powers and deliver significant funding in the region of £900M over the next 30 years. This funding is essential investment for infrastructure, transport, homes, training and business support. There remain considerable obstacles to overcome to make this happen but the political will is certainly there from our main cities.
Housing Supply It was reported back in 2014 in the Strategic Housing Market Assessment commissioned by the Partnership for Urban South Hampshire (PUSH) that there is a need for some 4,160 new homes every year in the south Hampshire region up until 2036. This is a big number and the pressure is on all local authorities to promote sustainable development and achieve this level of house building. As well as the challenges around the planning system and the volatility in the underlying housing market, the region also suffers from a distinct lack of developable land as a result of the physical constraints shown in the infographic with much of the economic activity in the region taking place between two national parks, the New Forest and South Downs. 13
SMART Motorways Major road works to introduce a SMART Motorway are to start imminently between junctions 4-11 of the M27 at a cost of £244M. The wider context is the ever-growing pressure on infrastructure linking the main conurbations from Bournemouth and Poole to the west to Portsmouth and Chichester to the east, Winchester to the north and the Isle of Wight to the south. There are many ideas being considered but the process is slow and the funding is challenging. All parties know how important infrastructure is to the continued prosperity of the region and solutions need to be found and delivered.
Employment Space With some 100,000 new homes expected to be built in the region in the next 20 years there must also be a requirement for the creation of new jobs for these working families. Although the supply and demand of employment space fluctuates with changing market conditions, there is, and will remain in the foreseeable future, a severe lack of supply of modern ‘fit-for-purpose’ business accommodation. Even more so than for housing land there are very few sites in the region that can be developed for commercial use and a greater emphasis on this politically is needed to ensure that commercial development is viable and deliverable to support the region’s ambitious economic growth plans.

Investment
Investing in Commercial Property Vail Williams has a strong and well earned reputation in advising on commercial property investment. With our wealth of regional knowledge and trading for over 30 years, we have a firm finger on the pulse of the occupational market/ demand for commercial property, which in turn reflects on what return an investor should seek from their investment. Over the last few years that have been some changes to Stamp Duty, together with tax treatment to Self Invested Pension schemes and the buy to let market. The latter has boosted demand for the less management intensive and higher returns of commercial property . The scarcity of attractive investments, rental growth and low interest rates
for savers has produced strong capital growth in commercial property. The Industrial/logistics sector remains the prime sector, for many reasons, but perhaps the main one being its simplicity and relatively low hold costs when vacant. City Centre offices remain popular, with the supply of buildings being lost to residential conversion/development, plus their prospect of growth being stronger. Indeed we’ve seen a trend for businesses moving back into town, to enjoy the ‘doorstep’ amenities for staff that the city centre brings. We have also found business owners turning to purchasing property again, perhaps in reaction to rental growth and a desire to own their own premises. Indeed we regularly see business owners buying property to own and
to invest in, often letting out part of the building to generate income and preserve their future expansion. Prime industrial yields are sub 5% at the moment, with no real let up, prime offices 6.5% and retail & leisure 8%. The latter is having a torrid time, with continued announcements of closures in a sector which is having to reinvent itself to meet the challenges of online retailing Should you be looking to invest in commercial property, having taken independent financial advice, Vail Williams is ideally placed to search for opportunities matching investment criteria, whether its higher yielding risk or long term AAA investment.

VW Planning
Government publishes final National Planning Policy Framework Further to the consultation in March 2018, the Government has published the final version of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF). This is now used in deciding all planning applications. The final document can be found here: https://assets.publishing. service.gov.uk/government/ uploads/system/uploads/ attachment_data/file/728643/ Revised_NPPF_2018.pdf
Key points of note from the NPPF are outlined below: Housing Delivery Test • In line with the Government’s aim to boost housing delivery, the Housing Delivery Test has been introduced. Under this test, a Local Authority’s housing policies are considered out of date if its rate of housing completions falls below 75% of its housing requirement. As a transitional arrangement, this threshold is reduced to 25% of housing need from November 2018 and rises to 45% in November 2019.
• Local plans and spatial development strategies must, as a minimum, «seek to meet the area’s objectively assessed needs» to be declared sound. This objectively assessed need should follow the Government’s newly adopted Standardised Methodology for Assessing Housing Need.
Viability • Alongside the NPPF, the Government has published new guidance on producing viability assessments. Viability assessments are now required to follow this guidance as part of the revised NPPF. The new guidance states that all viability assessments should be publicly available and should follow a set of standardised inputs as listed in the guidance.
Local Plans • Plan reviews will be needed at least every five years where local housing need figures have or look set to «change significantly».
• As a result of this test, Local Authorities may seek to allocate above their housing requirement in order to protect themselves from sites that do not deliver.
• Gavin Barwell’s Written Ministerial Statement protecting provisions within Neighbourhood Plans has been included, as per the draft NPPF published in March 2018. This added protection applies for the first 2 years after a Neighbourhood Plan is made where there is at least 3 year’s supply of housing land and a housing delivery rate of at least 45%.
Housing
Employment
• At least 10% of housing allocations should be on land of half a hectare or less. This is a reduction from the draft document’s requirement of 20%. This is support for the smaller housebuilder.
• The revised NPPF says that the specific locational requirements of storage and distribution operations should be recognised in planning policies and decisions. This policy was omitted from the draft NPPF published in March 2018.
• Affordable housing contributions should not be sought for developments that are not on major sites.
• In general, the revised NPPF appears to weaken protections 21
for existing employment land compared to the 2012 version. The requirement for Local Authorities to «assess the needs for land or floorspace for economic development» has been removed. Instead, local planning authorities should have “regard to” local economic development and regeneration policies.
Retail • Local Authorities planning for town centres will no longer be expected to identify primary and secondary shopping frontages. Instead, they should ‘respond to rapid changes in the retail and leisure industries’. Overall the revised NPPF is an evolution rather than a revolution of previous policy and includes a number of tweaks to the draft version published in March 2018. It places more emphasis on housing delivery compared to other tenures, particularly employment. In addition, the newly published viability guidance puts Local Authorities in a stronger negotiating position in viability cases. This is by no means an exhaustive list of policies contained within the revised NPPF. If you have any queries on how the revised NPPF affects you or your client’s development prospects, please do not hesitate to contact the Vail Williams Planning Team, who will be able to assist you with your query.

Converting your Property
5 things to consider when converting your
commercial building into residential property Choosing to change the classification of a building from commercial to residential (or vice versa) gives rise to a number of administrative and tax hurdles. Alongside the general planning consents and discussion with the local authority, the tax code varies significantly depending on whether you hold commercial or residential property.
If you are thinking about converting your commercial building (or bare land) into residential property, make sure to include the points below on your tax snagging list:
1) The Annual Tax on Enveloped Dwellings (ATED) ATED is an annual tax payable by companies that own UK residential property with a value of more than £500,000. While the building is being converted an ATED obligation shouldn’t arise, but as soon as the property is subject to council tax, it should be notified to HMRC, and an ATED return prepared. Exemptions are available if the property is rented out, and these exemptions would reduce the tax charge. However, any such exemption doesn’t remove the requirement to file the ATED return.
2) Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) The rates of SDLT are different for the purchase of residential and commercial property. In general, the rates for commercial properties are lower, and the 3% surcharge on second properties doesn’t apply. As stamp duty is a transaction tax, it applies at the point the property was bought into the company, and no subsequent charge should arise on any change in use. However, it is always worth reviewing the SDLT position at the point of conversion to make sure the position
is clear. Further, SDLT interacts closely with other indirect taxes, such as VAT, and establishing your VAT position will often have an important knock on effect on the SDLT charge.
3) Value Added Tax (VAT) VAT on property is fiendish! The table below summaries that across the two classes of property, the full spectrum of VAT can apply on the purchase of a property. It is worth carefully reviewing the VAT implications of a conversion, particularly if any input VAT was claimed in connection with the property, such as VAT on the purchase, construction or refurbishment of the property. Paying VAT on the purchase of a property may drive up the amount of SDLT payable, and any input VAT claimed may also be restricted/ clawed back following a change in the property’s use.

Further, an analysis of the property may be required to establish whether the converted property is to be used to make a VATable supply, allowing for the input VAT to be reclaimed, either in full or in part. Finally, it should be noted that VAT which has been incorrectly charged by a supplier is never reclaimable from HMRC, as it is not actually VAT. Therefore, it is important to ensure that suppliers charge the correct rate of VAT on conversion services, which could be zero rate, 5% reduced rate or standard rate, depending on the type of project.
4) Structuring If you plan to convert a substantial building or piece of land into a number of dwellings, it’s worth considering how to structure your corporate 23
group. Sometimes the use of individual property companies can be a good way to structure as it helps to limit liability, ring fence funding, and can provide an alternative exit route. It’s also particularly useful if you plan to sell the properties at different times, possibly having a period when the group is disposing of some properties, and renting others out. Such considerations can help to ensure the cost of finance remains tax deductible (particularly if interest expense is likely to be above £2m per year).
5) Offshore companies The tax treatment of offshore companies that invest in UK property is going through significant changes at the moment. In particular, the taxation of gains on properties varies wildly depending on whether the property is commercial or residential. How much of the gain is subject to tax and the percentage charge can be different depending on the class of property. If your commercial property is held in an offshore company it is worth considering the market value of the property before it is converted, and clearly documenting the date that the property moves to be residential.

A Right to Remain
A Right to Remain As a business, you have done your research. The area has the right skilled work force, great transport links with strategic partners on your doorstep. The building meets all your needs and the rent is within budget. Right, over to the lawyers to do their bit and ensure that you can remain in situ until you have outgrown the premises and need to expand into the unit next door. The (apparently) straight forward trajectory of a business going places. But, the old saying of ‘best laid plans’ can come into play and does sometimes lead to the question of whether a company does have the right to remain at the end of its lease? Whist desperately wanting to avoid sounding like a typical lawyer, the answer is ‘it depends’. The starting point is the lease and whether the lease is ‘contracted out’ of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954. If the 1954 Act does not apply, the tenant does not have the right to remain at the end of the lease. This does not mean a new lease cannot be agreed. What it does mean, however, is that if the landlord does not want provide you a new lease, there is nothing that can be done about this. The 1954 Act provides tenants ‘security of tenure’ i.e. the company’s right to remain at the end of its lease and, crucially, the ability to compel its landlord to grant a new lease. If a new lease can’t be agreed, then the court can decide. End of story? Not quite. Even with rights under the 1954 Act, the landlord, more often than not, has the upper hand. If the landlord is able to establish certain grounds then it can still oppose the grant of a new lease and there is nothing the tenant can do about it. These grounds can be broken down into two categories ‘fault grounds‘ and ‘no fault grounds’. If the landlord can establish one of the ‘no fault grounds’ then the court has no discretion whatsoever and the tenant will not be granted a new lease. The most common no fault ground cited by landlord is the landlord’s intention to redevelop the premises (known as ‘ground f’ under the 1954 Act), however, in certain circumstance the landlord can also
rely on the fact it intends to occupy the premises for its own purposes (‘ground g’ under the 1954 Act), which could be extra galling for any tenant. So, the landlord has cited that it opposes a new lease as it has the intention to ‘redevelop the holding’ or ‘occupy the holding’, end of story? Not quite – the devil is in the detail. For instance with ground f, first, the landlord must show that it could not reasonably ‘redevelop’ without obtaining possession of the premises, so could what the landlord has planned be done without possession of the companies premises? Further, in order to hold the ‘intention to redevelop’, is there a reasonable prospect of being able to redevelop? Questions such as, does the landlord have funding? Is it unlikely to obtain planning permission in light of the Local Development Framework or other factors, such as, ‘Special Policy Areas’? For instance, a landlord of a converted town house now used for medical facilities in Harley Street is unlikely to obtain permission to convert the premises back into a private dwelling. These are all factors that need to be considered by a landlord prior to opposing a lease and a tenant upon receipt of confirmation that a new lease is opposed should always seek to robustly test the merits of the landlord’s grounds of opposition. 25
By Adrian McClinton, Coffin Mew
In conclusion, the ability for a company (no matter its size) to be certain as to where it will be located is important for stability and, importantly growth and whilst all is not lost if a landlord opposes a new tenancy, it is important that when planning for the future all businesses need to be aware that the location of their operations may be out of their control. I think it is important to finish on a positive note. If a business tenant is faces with the prospect of having to leave its home as result of the landlord wanting to redevelop at least it is less likely to be slapped with a costly schedule of dilapidation, as under section 18 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1927, damages for failure to repair are not recoverable where redevelopment is to take place.
