Covid is not solely to blame for killing out high streets

Sell My Commercial Property > Retail Property > Covid is not solely to blame for killing out high streets

Many people blame Covid for all the problems facing the UK’s high streets.  However, this is simply not the case.  Let us not forget spiraling business rates, ever increasing rents, extortionate parking charges, poor infrastructure, retailers moving away from high streets to retail parks, increased competition from online retailers, banks closing branches and supermarkets which sell everything including food, toys, clothes, electrical goods, household goods and much more.

It is not just retailers who have suffered.  Landlords who own these high street retail shops have suffered too.  Many have been left with vacant shops which no-one wants, they have no rent, values have fallen, they need to spend money to maintain, insure and secure their shops even though they are vacant and they have to deal with estate agents who at times charge high fees and make promises they know they cannot keep.  Some landlords are desperate and simply do not know where to turn or what to do.  They do not have the time, knowledge, expertise or finances to turnaround these failing properties and are in need of a solution.  This is where Sell My Commercial Property comes in.  We will buy your property from you and complete the deal with cash and fast.  This is our business and this is what we do.  So if you are thinking you want to sell your commercial property, especially your high street shop, fill in our online property information form and we will get back to you and make you a cash offer within 24 hours.
