What are the benefits of investing in retail property?
Retail property can offer long-term rental income, especially with established tenants. High street shops, shopping centres, and neighbourhood parades all offer opportunities for stable yields, with leases often structured on full repairing and insuring (FRI) terms.
What risks should I consider when buying retail property?
Risks include tenant turnover, void periods, changes in consumer habits, and local competition. Location is key—properties in well-trafficked or affluent areas tend to be more resilient to market shifts.
How does lease length affect retail property investment?
Longer leases (typically 5–15 years) can provide more predictable income. Some leases include upward-only rent reviews, which help protect returns over time. It's important to review break clauses and rent-free periods during due diligence.
What types of tenants occupy retail property?
Retail tenants include national chains, local independents, convenience stores, restaurants, salons, and service providers. National brands may offer greater covenant strength, while independents can offer flexibility and local appeal.
Do I need planning permission to change a retail property's use?
Most retail units now fall under Class E, which allows changes of use between shops, cafés, offices, and some medical or fitness uses without full planning permission. However, local restrictions or conservation areas may require additional consent.
