Case study

Balham High Road (retail space)

When we were asked to let this split level restaurant by our client, we first had several meetings to advise them on how to attract the widest range of tenants looking for a commercial property for rent. This covered use of space, what works were needed and which tenants we should target.

Key points

• Advised on options for covenant strength and use type
• Helped client to shortlist and choose best tenants

The property

• Retail space with basement
• Suitable for A1/A2/A3/A4 use
• Net internal area: 291.20 sqm (3,134 sqft)

The marketing campaign

With a split level ground floor and a basement, this retail space was flexible enough to support several types of potential tenant. We had several meetings with the client before marketing began, working out what work needed doing and what type of business we should target.

We then began a full marketing campaign, which attracted a shortlist of three quality occupiers. We then had a meeting with our client and compared the offers, looking at type of use, covenant strength and investment value.

The result

After consultation with us the owner decided to let to a bar operator, who has now fitted out the premises and is trading successfully.
