"The rental growth outlook is positive with the smaller affluent centres and core secondary pitches expected to lead"
Marie Hickey, Savills Research
We address a number of myths in the retail sector, particularly in regard to ideas that were espoused during the height of the recession.
■ At the height of the recession a number of potential structural shifts in the way we shop and how retailers would respond to these were identified.
■ The overwhelming message was that the physical store would lose out to online and that retailers would need to rationalise portfolios.
■ Five years on, and the economy back in recovery, some of these shifts, or rather 'myths', have not taken hold.
■ This report explores some of these 'myths' and what has actually taken place. We also explore what these evolving trends mean for UK retail property going forward.
