Whilst there is an underlining negativity around retail property, this market sentiment has led to the creation of opportunities for our clients. With a strong retail background, they are acutely aware of the growth in retail sales in many market towns and as such are keen to expand more within this area.

Jack Barratt of Bruce Gillingham Pollard says “this sector merits more attention, as many high streets located in affluent commuter environments have remained busy throughout the lockdown periods. Our leasing teams are seeing a shift in operator demand for locations such as Guildford and as such it presents a strong story for our investor base given the fundamentals”.
