Strutt & Parker have been leading the way in acting as a medium between owner/occupiers and investors. There is a real story to tell retailers and manufacturers about the prudence of reviewing their current property portfolio strategies. The sector, recognised for its retail characteristics, has caught the attention of established property investors who recognise the intrinsic value of the property, rather than of just a fixed income secured on the value of tenants' covenant. This has established the potential for attractive rental and capital growth prospects for investors as the motor retail market transforms itself.
