Find a site for your next shop.
Whether you are opening your first shop or looking for several new locations, Rivermark can search for retail premises across the UK.
How we help.
We agree the locations and property requirements with you, search for available premises and compare the details against your brief. We can contact agents or owners about the properties you select and keep track of the questions still to answer.
Who this is for.
- An independent business opening its first shop.
- An established retailer looking for another location.
- A business comparing high streets, shopping centres or retail parks.
- A retailer searching several towns against the same property requirements.
What to consider.
Location and customers
Choose the towns or neighbourhoods that suit your customers. Consider nearby businesses, access, visibility, deliveries and the times you expect to trade.
The space itself
Look at the shopfront, usable sales area, storage, layout, services and any work needed before opening. Ask for plans and details of the space included.
Cost, terms and timing
Compare the quoted rent or price with other occupation and fit-out costs. Check the proposed terms and your target opening date with your solicitor and other advisers.
Tell us the essentials.
Share what you know. We can discuss the rest.
- The business, locations and number of shops you are looking for.
- The size, layout and frontage you need.
- Your rent or purchase budget and preferred lease length, if known.
- Delivery, access, fitting-out and opening-date requirements.
We agree the work and fees in writing before starting work or contacting anyone about a property.
Common questions.
Do you help independent businesses?
Yes. You can enquire about a first shop, a relocation or another branch. Tell us the locations and budget you have in mind.
Can you search more than one town?
Yes. Share the towns or areas you are considering and the requirements that apply across them. We can discuss the search before agreeing the work.
Do you negotiate the lease or provide legal advice?
We can discuss the property search and the contact you want us to make. Your solicitor should advise on the lease and legal terms.
