What types of tenants occupy retail property?
Retail occupiers can include national retailers, convenience stores, restaurants, cafés, health and beauty businesses, service providers and independent operators. The mix of tenants can influence both investment performance and future demand.
Can a retail property be used for other purposes?
Many retail premises fall within Use Class E, which may allow a degree of flexibility between retail, office, hospitality, health and other commercial uses. However, any proposed change of use should be confirmed with the local planning authority.
What due diligence should I carry out before buying?
Buyers should review leases, tenant covenant strength, service charge arrangements, planning permissions, title documents, environmental matters and building condition reports. Professional legal and surveying advice is strongly recommended before completing a purchase.
What additional costs should I budget for?
In addition to the purchase price, buyers should budget for Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT), legal fees, surveys, finance costs, insurance and any refurbishment or maintenance works that may be required.
