What types of retail property can I rent?
Retail opportunities can include high street shops, shopping centre units, retail park space, corner units, kiosks, and parade shops. Available properties vary in size, frontage, layout, and customer footfall.
What should I look for when choosing a retail property?
Consider factors such as customer footfall, visibility, accessibility, nearby businesses, delivery access, and the suitability of the space for your operation. It's also important to budget for business rates, service charges, and any fit-out work that may be required.
