Inflation also remained low during 2015 which benefited consumers UK wide. Couple this with increased disposable income from a rise in wages, consumers in this market will benefit with more purchasing power.  multi master handyman servicesWe expect to see evolving shopper habits which the convenience retail market should adapt to in order to fulfil the needs of the new generation of shoppers. arrow handyman servicesIt is now also more important than ever that forecourt operators have a high-quality convenience offering as more shoppers desire a one-stop shop. Fuel margins remained robust for fuel retailers in 2015 and property demand is outstripping supply. There is huge focus by the large multiples on London where they have ambitious acquisition plans.  New to industry buyers often target the Capital but gaining access to funding is key with a preference by lenders to back established players or asset backed deals.  

The recent McColls divestment programme shows us there is demand at every level despite a strong rental market across Central London.  Ambitious multiple operators are paying health premiums for prime businesses.   Freehold opportunities are rare and when sold fetch significant prices. The East and West Midlands plus East Anglia markets are also in a healthy state. A rise in the quantity of transactions started in early 2013 and has continued since.  Convenience stores and post offices achieving high levels of weekly sales (and PO salary) are highly prized.  High turnover convenience stores are the most sought after, with a large interest in vacant units and neglected properties where a convenience store could be introduced. We have also seen a rise in demand for freehold rural opportunities where there is little competition coupled with higher margins as well as lifestyle businesses. Demand is outstripping supply in the North.  Clients are churning their portfolios (selling smaller stores to buy / develop larger ones), independent operators are fighting multiples for space in the best locations, many first time buyers are entering the market and multiple operators are aggressively trying to locate and acquire businesses which can add long-term value to their estate.

The number of freehold and leasehold sales has been fairly equal in the last 18 months, with prices for both rising over the same period. Petrol filling stations with a good convenience offering, or those which have the potential to add a good convenience offering are in high demand. Standalone, high turnover convenience stores which come to market attract large interest with many offers being received on them. Freehold businesses are still attracting the majority of interest from buyers and to date there has not been a major impact from the Post Office Network Transformation on the sector in this region. We continually experience first time buyers looking for businesses to acquire, however, gaining access to funding is still key in the South. The market in the South West is improving with freehold prices on the up and bank lending easing. This results in more competitive rates for both existing operators and new entrants to the market. Sites with development potential top the list of the most sought after businesses, closely followed by those with an unopposed location.

The market in Scotland has improved significantly over the past two years. Petrol filling station sales have been dominated by oil company disposals with Shell and BP in particular undertaking such divestments. There is strong demand from large well known multiples and a number of smaller regional independent groups looking to expand their portfolios. There has been several successful acquisitions undertaken this year for growing regional multiples. Over the past 7 years the market was dominated by experienced and local buyers, however, first time buyers and cross-border buyers are looking for opportunities in Scotland’s rural network as this begins to grow once again.Hampshire architect win world's most lucrative industry prize Silver Hill set to take at least five years, meeting hears Award-winning architect raises concerns about Silver Hill 2 Cost increases spark post-Brexit construction output slowdown UPDATE AND PHOTOS: Echo-backed Business Works gets underway
