Retail Market Overview

  • A mixed bag out there in the retail world, but there’s still a lot of activity and in central London for the right properties one is often going to tender with often 10 running each time.
  • The less expensive rents are more popular generally as the ones hanging around tend to be the larger shops at very high headline rents.
  • What is interesting however that in Winchester for an example the pedestrian part of the High Street, has seen rents falling by perhaps 15%, but rising by the same amount in more secondary parts of the High Street there.

  • I think the market is now more about ironically the growth of all charity shops, which are expanding like mad and home fashion, beauty, hairdressers etc, with the likes of IKEA/B&Q taking High Street shops now too.
  • Fashion seems to be on the back burner, although the big fashion brands are not put off going to the large shopping centres to make a flagship statement.
  • I see Reserve (ladies fashion) the Polish brand, is expanding nationally now, from their first Oxford Street store.

  • Having said that, there is a huge demand nationally for all food/restaurant operators. All the supermarkets are vying for in town and out of town space, let alone drive thrus ,which are like gold dust now!
  • Gyms and Gaming shops are on the up.
  • Warehousing rents have shot through the roof and more of this doubled in five years around the London area for example.
