Trouble in bulk

By: Language: English Series: Property Week ; 71(12) 24 March 2006, 30-32(3)Publication details: 2006Subject(s): Summary: Looks at the retail slowdown in the bulky-goods sector, particularly for household goods and furniture, which is likely to constrain rental growth in the short term as retailers' space requirements decline. Although the longer-term outlook is for a return to growth, it is anticipated that retailers will seek more flexible leases with fixed or indexed rent increases, rather than open market reviews. The move of high street retailers to out-of-town retail parks with open A1 consents however continues.
