What types of retail units are available in South East, England?
Retail spaces available range from high street shops, corner units, and parade shops to shopping centre units, kiosks, and destination retail in leisure or outlet parks. Units vary in size, frontage, and footfall exposure.
What should I consider before renting a retail unit?
Key considerations include location, target customer base, footfall, frontage, accessibility, loading/delivery access, planning use, lease flexibility, and nearby occupiers. It’s also essential to factor in service charges, business rates, and fit-out costs.
What is typically included in a retail lease?
A standard lease outlines rent, term length, service charges, repair obligations, permitted use, and break clauses. Most leases are full repairing and insuring (FRI), meaning the tenant is responsible for upkeep and insurance costs unless negotiated otherwise.
Do I need planning permission to change the use of a shop?
Possibly. Many retail properties now fall under Use Class E, which allows greater flexibility. However, if you're changing to a takeaway (sui generis), clinic, or residential, planning permission may be required. Always check with the local planning authority.
Are business rates included in shop rents?
No. Business rates are a separate cost, unless the lease is all-inclusive. Small businesses may qualify for Small Business Rate Relief (SBRR), which can significantly reduce or eliminate rates payable depending on the property's rateable value.
Can I sublet or assign my retail lease?
This depends on your lease terms. Some agreements allow subletting or lease assignment with the landlord’s consent. It’s important to confirm this upfront if flexibility is a priority for your business.
