JHWalter is excited to welcome a new addition, Henry Leivers, to its growing SRM (Sustainable Resource Management) team. The SRM team is currently enjoying a period of expansion as demand for its renewable energy advisory and support service grows. Drawing upon his experience of the energy sector, project management and fund raising, Henry will take a lead role in delivering SRM's services moving forwards.

Henry, however, is not an entirely new face to JHWalter. Following completion of his Geography degree at Cambridge, Henry worked with the SRM team on a temporary basis, leading an analysis of the market potential for energy crops in the East Midlands on behalf of Natural England. Following this temporary contract he then went on to join a Strategy and Management Consultancy in London, where he has been for the last two years.

During his years in London Henry developed his commercial skills, leading strategy projects with companies, including FTSE 100s, across a diverse range of sectors. He also retained his interest in the energy and sustainability sector, leading a strategy development initiative with the Renewable Energy Foundation and a market entry study for the low carbon pioneer Verisae Inc.

David Wright, Managing Partner of JHWalter, commented "We are delighted to have someone with Henry's experience join the team; Our work in renewable energy is growing exponentially given the excellent returns it offers and we will be recruiting again shortly. Henry will be particularly involved in feasibility, project management and funding across all renewable technologies."

If you have any questions regarding renewable energy opportunities that you may be able to take advantage of please contact Henry Leivers on 01522 504315.

The County Property Auction held by JHWalter on Wednesday 28th July 2010 drew a large crowd so that the room at The Bentley Hotel, Lincoln was overflowing with buyers from all over the East Midlands. Raising over £4.3m from the sale of 27 lots with more than 7 out of 10 lots sold, The County Property Auction has outstripped the 61.4% national average for June this year reported by Essential Information Group.

Farmland continued to sell well at Auction with 308 acres of arable land sold in 9 lots. A five acre arable field at Ingram Lane, Sutton on Trent saw strong bidding across the room until the hammer fell at £35,000. At £7014 per acre, the best price for farmland on the day.

A former Wesleyan Chapel at North Kelsey Moor in excellent condition, complete with pews and a beautiful handwritten Indenture founding the Chapel, sold for £30,000.

Opportunities are rare when it comes to older properties for refurbishment however the sale included three classics. The Grove at Barrow on Humber, a 10 bedroom Grade II Listed property standing in almost one acre, went under the hammer for £224,000. 11 Little Thorpe Lane, a delightful small farmhouse with over two acres made £315,000 and 8 High Street, Heighington, a stone house and cottage at the heart of the village in need of total refurbishment reached £277,000.

Commenting on the Auction, Senior Partner Ian Walter said, "I am delighted with the response to the regional advertising campaign which saw a full auction room and more registered buyers than we have seen for several sales. The prices received were generally well ahead of expectations, particularly for land and houses for refurbishment. We are attracting an increasing number of larger commercial properties to add to the flow of residential and agricultural properties and development sites which come under the JHWalter gavel".

Additional Auction highlights included the former piggeries/poultry houses off London Road, Wyberton Nr Boston which sold under the hammer for £70,000 well in excess of its guide price of £40,000 after some very exciting bidding. A former public house, Robin Hood & Little John at Aslackby, Sleaford sold under the hammer for £221,000 against a guide price of £160,000. Also attracting interest, 65 Castleton Boulevard, Skegness, variously used as a guest house, nursing home and bedsit, sold under the hammer at £160,000, well in excess of its guide price of £60,000.

In the current financial climate, property remains a good investment, at the right price. With income from savings and equities at disappointingly low levels, investors are looking to property to provide a solid return. Offering property for sale by auction is a different route to market.
