Of-town retail and leisure transactions grew significantly in the 2014-2015 period, with total volumes increasing to nearly £3 billion, driven by UK institutional buyers and yield compression. Key growth was observed in sectors like retail warehouses and leisure, with factors including housing market buoyancy and technological advancements fuelling consumer spending. Looking ahead, challenges such as lease expiries and online competition could affect rental growth, but opportunities in multi-channel retail and logistics space demand offer potential for further expansion. Specific properties and yields highlight opportunities for asset management but also underscore risks associated with economic shifts.
