Retail

Expert localised knowledge of the retail market

When it comes to the retail property market, localised knowledge, experience and understanding is key – with everything from footfall to rental values and nearby competition considered.

With highly-experienced teams operating from offices in Hull and York, we have a deep understanding of the retail market in city centres, towns and outlying suburban villages.

This is why many national retailers turn to us when looking to open stores across Yorkshire and the Humber, as our team keeps abreast of prevailing rental rates, vacancy levels, and the popularity of retail locations.

We regularly act on behalf of private individuals and property companies in respect of the sale or purchase of freehold retail shops, either with vacant possession or on an investment basis.

We will advise on local demographics, trends, competitors, footfall and disposable income, but also ensure you fully understand your lease and rental agreements, advising on key considerations such as break-clauses, utility costs and maintenance requirements.

Retail property landlords

Our work for retail landlords focuses on maximising the value of their properties through attracting reliable tenants on leases which protect their interests and bring the best returns.

We use our local market knowledge and experience to attract businesses that fit the property profile retail environment, using high-quality marketing methods, word of mouth and by using our large pool of contacts

Our team helps landlords take a long-term strategic view over their retail property portfolios, considering redevelopment, refurbishment and repositioning to improve income potential. We also support landlords at the end of lease agreements.

Retail property investors

We have helped identify opportunities for many investors to purchase retail premises which offer excellent returns – both immediate and long term - including entire shopping centres and parades.

As our team has knowledge of potential investment opportunities before they are advertised on the open market - and of impending new projects or developments - we are able to provide investors with insights to influence their decisions.

Our work ranges from advising of opportunities in small premises such as mixed commercial and residential properties in towns and villages to large retail units in busy city centres, and huge portfolios of retail properties spread across a number of localities.
