T A Fisher has the inherent skills and knowledge to unlock the potential value of many development situations. Attracted to investments where there may appear to be limited income stream or higher risk profile, we relish challenging situations which require more thought and imagination. Whether it's developing institutional offices and quality business parks aimed at SMEs, or converting older industrial buildings into smaller units for lease or sale, T A Fisher has the expertise. We're accomplished and comfortable with mixed-use schemes with different components such as retail, hotel, residential, apart-hotel occupancy, and with B1 offices, nursing homes and restaurant uses. And we go far beyond development and investment experience alone. Operational expertise, by way of our serviced business apartments and apart-hotel operations is also at your disposal - a crucial difference in any property deal. Short decision-making lines mean we can structure proposals, specifically and unconditionally, to give vendors the degree of certainty they want. |

London Road, Newbury Travelodge Newbury Central Opens For Business Only a matter of days following practical completion the first Travelodge guests were being welcomed at this new 67-bedroom budget hotel. This new hotel on the corner of Parkway and London Road will service both the business and leisure markets and will be a great boost to the local economy. It is the first hotel to open in the town for more than twenty years! The ground-floor retail unit totalling some 2,568 sq ft remains available and provides a fantastic opportunity for operators within the restaurant sector or perhaps convenience food store to benefit from the footfall arising from the new hotel. That said, the unit which has high prominence and visibility as well as on-site parking could appeal to a niche retailer. The retail space (the unit may be split) is available on a new FRI lease. Further information and viewing can be obtained via sole agents Messrs Goadsby 01202 550120 or Quintons 01635 262510. |

Planning Application For A New Hotel At... Fishron (Basingstoke) Ltd and Travelodge Hotels Ltd have submitted a planning application to Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council for the construction of an 88 bed Travelodge Hotel at 9 - 10 Victoria Street, Basingstoke. The current building (formerly Barclay House) has been vacant since March 2007. There is significant oversupply of office space within Basingstoke, with current market conditions exacerbating the problem. The proposal will provide much-needed new hotel rooms for Basingstoke. The proposed Travelodge Hotel and ground floor retail unit will revitalise New Road and help to kick start the Council's regeneration plans for the street. The first new hotel proposed in the town centre for over 20 years, an 88 bed Travelodge would provide much-needed accommodation for tourists and business people alike in the heart of Basingstoke. With sufficient parking and close proximity to the train station, Travelodge are confident this would quickly become one of their best performing hotels. |
