What use class do shops fall under?
Most shops fall within Use Class E, which covers a wide range of commercial uses including retail, cafes, salons, showrooms, and certain professional services. Before signing a lease, it's worth checking that your intended use complies with local planning requirements.
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.

Business rates are usually charged separately from rent. Depending on the property's rateable value, some occupiers may be eligible for Small Business Rate Relief or other local support schemes.
Can I sublet or assign my lease?
This depends on the lease agreement. Some landlords allow subletting or assignment with prior consent, while others may place restrictions on these arrangements. Always review the lease terms carefully before signing.
How can I find the right retail property?
Start by identifying your preferred location, budget, space requirements, and target customer base. Comparing available properties and speaking with local commercial property professionals can help you find a space that aligns with your business goals.
