Tenants often include local independents, cafés, national chains, and essential services such as pharmacies or food outlets, providing reliable rental income and long-term potential.

When purchasing a retail property in Hertfordshire, key considerations include location footfall, tenant strength, lease terms, and scope for asset management. Prime areas close to transport links, schools, or densely populated neighbourhoods are typically in higher demand. Investors should assess the EPC rating, permitted use under Class E, and whether there’s potential to convert upper floors or reconfigure the unit.
