The right location, on the right terms.
We support retail brands, franchises and groups with their site selection, whether buying or leasing, according to their activity and their needs. One constant: identifying the best locations, and securing them at the right price.
Our approach
Three convictions, one discipline
Location decides everything
For a retail business, location is the variable that conditions every other. A prime site carries footfall naturally; a near-prime site demands proof. Our first task is that arbitration: footfall, visibility, retail environment, accessibility, documented city by city, street by street.
Buying or leasing alike
Depending on your activity, your horizon and your financial structure, the right answer varies. We examine both routes: taking a lease at genuine market conditions, or acquiring the premises when the location is strategic and the price justified. Every valuation and every asking rent passes through our critical review before any commitment.
The strength of the network
On new openings, we work hand in hand with local agencies, valuers and our national network of partners: that is often where the best locations are found, including off-market. Our role remains that of an adviser: we examine, we verify, we recommend. You decide, on the strength of a complete file.
From scouting to opening
Four steps, one complete file
Scoping
A site-selection brief: catchment area, floor space, footfall, budget, timetable.
Sourcing
Field scouting, network activation, off-market detection.
Assessment
Analysis of each site: location, rental or market value, technical and legal constraints.
Securing
Conditions precedent, sticking points, support through to signature.
“The right location, on the right terms, buying or leasing alike: the same discipline as our portfolio audit, from the very start.”
