We are delighted to have advised Matalan on the acquisition of their new store in the City Centre of Leeds. Matalan is a British fashion and homeware retailer and has over 215 stores nationwide.

The highly prominent premises are located at The Core Shopping Centre with the main entrance on The Headrow. The unit comprises a total floor area of nearly 20,000 sq ft and it was secured on a ten-year lease. Andrew Shepherd, Director at AS Retail, conducted the negotiations and commented: ‘’We are confident that this will prove to be an excellent site for Matalan and we look forward to seeing it open soon.’’

AS Retail are delighted to have completed a fifth lease renewal for our client, Church Commissioners, in Golders Green.

Lease advisory specialist Ellie Oldershaw commented “We are really pleased to have secured the occupation of another strong tenant for a further ten-year term at a higher rent, despite the difficult market.  Having already completed renewals with other tenants including HSBC, Lloyds and Virgin Money, all at rental increases, this block now represents a secure income stream for our client.”

Please don’t hesitate to contact us, should you be in a similar situation and require advice.
