Used car supermarket to establish 48,000 sq ft testing facility in Goole

Used car supermarket Motordepot Ltd is expanding in East Yorkshire.

The Hessle-based company signed a 10-year lease on a 48,007 sq ft industrial unit in Goole previously occupied by Timloc Building Products.

The space, located on New Potter Grange Road, will serve as a pre-sale inspection and testing facility supplying Motordepot’s showrooms.

Industrial property investor Hansteen Holdings PLC has invested £270k in refurbishing the unit, which occupies a four-acre surfaced site.

Hansteen surveyor Ronan Evans commented: “We experienced very positive interest for this unit.

“Following a programme of refurbishment works (overseen by Trident Building Surveyors) we were pleased to secure the new letting to Motordepot Ltd with a minimal void period, which is reflective of the continued occupier appetite we have experienced in Hansteen’s Yorkshire portfolio.”

Cushman & Wakefield was appointed joint agent on the property

Scott Morrison, associate at Cushman & Wakefield, said: “Goole has secured significant commercial investment within the last 12 months and is proving to be an increasingly popular location for occupiers.

“This site really suited an occupier of this nature and we are delighted to have secured Motordepot Ltd on a long-term lease, on behalf of our client Hansteen.”
