Retail properties acquired for investment purposes need to provide the type of facility attractive to a good long-term tenant and free from inherent weakness and defect which might lead to significant expenditure or loss of rental value.

An investor or prospective lessee would like to be properly informed as to the general condition of the building, the likely short and long term repairing liability and in addition where there might be potential for adding future value to the asset.

Our experience of retail buildings and our specialisation in dilapidations means that we are well placed to advise either the landlord or the tenant on their property acquisition.
