The Riot Damages Act 1886 – find out how you are already protected against damages by riot.

Commercial Property, Landlords, Nottingham
Riot and affray are nothing new to our society and we’ve talked previously about how, as landlords and tenants,  you should be  checking your insurance to establish that you are adequately covered in the event that your shop or business is affected by riot.  Like many of our  readers, the team at Exeid.com were unaware that there is a statutory protection that can compensate you in the event that your business is affected by riot and our research has uncovered an interesting statute.  It is known as the Riot Damages Act of 1886. If you have been the subject of damages as a result of a riot or riotous assembly then provided that you make a claim within 14 days you will be entitled to compensation from the State. The…

Expect the unexpected – London’s Burning – Riots & Looting?

Exeid News, Nottingham, Uncategorized
The recent riots throughout London and now further afield have raised many questions that affect us all. For owners of businesses and  business premises,  these questions now include  how to prepare  for the potential disorder that appears to be spreading throughout our urban centres. I am certain that many conversations are focused around how this disorder could  happen on such a scale and without any apparent warning but the more important question is why?  The "middle class" riots following the cuts in student tuition fees and now the "urban poor" riots  and low morale in the Police Force due to impending cuts are merely symptoms of a wider malaise in which Nero fiddles whilst Rome Burns. However, think about who may have somthing to gain  from this situation  and what the cause/effect  result…

Workplace Parking Levy – ‘Small businesses and how the workplace parking levy will affect you.’

Commercial Property, Exeid News, Nottingham, Parking
Some of you may have noticed recently Nottingham City Council quietly slip a leaflet on the Workplace Parking Levy through your letter box. The unpopular scheme is an attempt by the Council to create funding for an extension to the existing tram system, the redevelopment of Nottingham Railway Station and supporting the Link bus network. The leaflet is aimed at employers who provide 10 or fewer workplace parking places, although these businesses/organisations will be required to apply for a license, they will receive a 100% discount from the charge. Those employers who provide 11 or more workplace parking places will be required to pay the charge for all of their parking spaces from the 1st April 2012, but importantly they must have a license by 1st October 2011. The leaflet…

NHS move into St Nicholas Court under Barbara Henson’s Supervision.

Case Studies, Client Profile, Commercial Property, Exeid News, Nottingham, Office space, Parking, serviced office space
[caption id="attachment_412" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="St Nicholas Court"][/caption] Following the recent Government spending review the NHS have been ordered to reorganise and streamline their services  and find space for the NHS 'Rethink Project', Nottinghamshire Healthcare have been looking for a new site that met these  new requirements. The space needed to be  DDA compliant, modern and comfortable office space, whilst remaining within the financial budgetary restraints set by the review. A tall order  you might think, not with Exeid’s experience. In difficult economic  times many organisations  tend to migrate to the suburbs in a bid save on property prices, however, with travel economics as they are today there really isn’t much to be gained in this aproach.  In addition, organisations need to take into account the fact that the city centre  is the…

The Hour – The New Vintage Production by the BBC uses Exeid Lighting Partners Anglepoise to Create that Vintage Feel.

Commercial Property, Exeid News, Nottingham, serviced office space, Stanford House, Vintage Offices
The first episode of THE HOUR was shown on BBC1 this week and you can tell that the production team at the BBC have realised the interest in Vintage Retro style as most of the first episode was shot in a late 1950s office environment. One scene showed the two main characters discussing the merits of what they described as an Anglepoise lamp which Freddie Lyon,  played by Ben Whishaw, had bought for Bel Rowley, played by Romola Garai. Questioning the BBCs’ continuity, it appears that the lamp in question was not in fact an Anglepoise but more likely to be a Memlite. If anyone reading this can identify it, our lighting ‘nerd’ in the office would love to know. If you have an office and you want to get…

Interview with Richard Priestly MD of Exeid.com following the recent acquisition of St Nicholas Court a Commercial Office Property on Castle Gate Nottingham.

Commercial Property, Exeid News, Nottingham, Office space, Property Purchase, serviced office space
Six months on and we revisit Exeid.com and their latest office acquisition St Nicholas Court 25 to 27 Castle Gate, Nottingham. We talked with Managing Director Richard Priestley: So Richard, you acquired this building in the thick of what has been described as the most difficult trading conditions for 70 years in the commercial property sector. Was that a foolhardy or smart move and why? To be fair it was almost a bit of both. The property was first identified as a target by our CEO a few of years back. Basically, it was approximately 60% vacant but at that time the  requirement to pay “empty rates liability” had not kicked in so the price tag, whilst much higher than what was eventually paid, was almost justified. So why wasn’t…
