What risks should I consider before buying?
Potential risks include tenant vacancy, changing consumer behaviour, local competition, economic conditions and shifts in retail demand. Understanding the strength of the location and the sustainability of rental income is an important part of any acquisition decision.
How does lease length affect investment performance?
Longer leases can provide greater income certainty, while shorter leases may offer opportunities for rent growth or repositioning. Investors should review rent review provisions, break clauses and tenant obligations when assessing an asset.
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.
