Retail, Restaurant & Leisure units to let and for sale

Are you an international brand looking for retail units to let or buy in London?

Are you looking for the ideal restaurant premises or commercial leisure space to let?

Or perhaps you’re a national retailer searching for retail space for lease in various locations across the UK?

Many commercial property agencies claim to be experts in this field. However, few have:

  • Our excellent track record of working with retail and leisure businesses, from independent companies to leading brands with multiple branches, sourcing premium retail, restaurant, and leisure units
  • Our experience of negotiating favourable lease terms for our clients
  • Our market expertise, fueled by extensive transactional data and decades of experience
  • Our longterm relationships with retailers, owners, and investors

High street landlord advisory services

High streets are a core part of our culture and communities; they are constantly evolving and undergoing significant change due to current market conditions. We specialise in advising high street landlords, whether they have single let assets or large multi-let projects.

We bring our retail market expertise to advise landlords on all matters- from restructuring leases to enhancing the returns from their portfolio.

Retail investment advisory services - for investors and developers

Our activity in the retail, restaurant & leisure property market across sales, lettings, and lease advisory, means we have significant experience, market knowledge, and impressive industry contacts. It’s for this reason investors come to us directly for advice.

We work with fund managers, private investors, property companies, and investment agents to uncover attractive new investment opportunities- before they reach the general market.

This ensures our clients get first-priority access to premium investments in the most sought-after and suitable locations.

Retail lease advisory - for landlords and tenants

We know the retail industry inside out, enabling us to deliver an informed and strategic lease advisory service.

We’ve tailored our service to support the objectives of tenants and landlords on a nationwide basis, across the entire spectrum of retail properties.

Our retail property transactional data gives us invaluable insights to power our data-driven lease advisory strategies. This, plus our detailed understanding of property law, in-depth market knowledge throughout the UK, and contract negotiation skills are what make our lease advisory team such impactful advocates for our clients.

We are experts in restructuring, regearing, and negotiating leases, with a view to achieving our clients’ desired outcomes and avoiding costly court proceedings (though we also provide support through arbitration and expert witnesses).

For retailers looking for expertise and investors seeking to secure their income, our lease advisory service is the most important step to achieving these goals.
