Sectors and property types

Whether you're an owner, investor, retailer, or entrepreneur, we provide expertise across a wide range of sectors and property types.

Out of Town Retail

Our out-of-town retail experts deliver strategic advice across retail parks, stand-alone units, and drive-thru developments. From site acquisition and leasing to asset management and investment, we help landlords, occupiers, and investors unlock value in this dynamic and evolving market.

In Town Retail

With a nationwide office network, we offer clients deep retail insight at both national and regional levels. We build long-term partnerships with retailers to shape and execute portfolio strategies, while advising landlords on asset management, tenant mix, and value-add opportunities.

Shopping Centres and Regeneration

Avison Young understands that retail property management—especially for large shopping centres—requires an active, strategic approach. We help landlords and retailers drive occupancy, boost customer engagement, and reduce costs. Our team also advises on the repurposing of assets, working with local authorities to deliver long-term economic and social value.

Retail Investment

Our team advise a diverse range of occupiers and investors on retail investment acquisitions and disposals. Using market intelligence and data-driven insights we deliver strategic advice on current market conditions and emerging trends - helping you maximise returns and make informed portfolio decisions.

Food Stores

In an ever-changing retail environment, food store occupiers remain active in acquiring new sites and continue to attract strong investor interest. We represent occupiers acquiring new sites and disposing of leasehold and freehold interests, as well as managing rent reviews and lease renewals. We also act for investors buying and selling food store investment assets.

Restaurant and Leisure

In today's market a successful retail destination is about much more than just bricks and mortar - it's about delivering experience. As consumer expectations continue to grow, occupiers are challenged to offer more. We have a proven track record in designing and leasing experience-led spaces, from drive-thru coffee shops on retail parks to contemporary restaurants in major regional shopping centres.

What we cover

Our team brings extensive experience and a deep understanding of the complexities involved in this work. We review costs on behalf of both occupiers and landlords.

Benchmarking

With our extensive data, we benchmark service charge costs to determine if your building operates at a comparable level to similar sites. This process helps assess whether costs reflect market value. If costs are higher, we’ll identify the drivers and recommend strategies to reduce them.

Benchmarking

Best practice

The RICS Professional Statement for Service Charges in Commercial Property aims to ensure transparency, fairness, and consistency in service charges. In our portfolio reviews, we make sure all budgets and reconciliations are issued within the timelines established by the Professional Statement.
