We are the UK’s premier specialists in out-of-town retail property. With 65+ years of experience and £1bn+ transacted last year, we advise on the nation’s largest retail parks. From off-market acquisitions to complex development funding, we deliver results for institutional and private investors.
We provide expert, honest, and results-driven advice on the UK’s out-of-town retail property market. Whether you are an institutional investor, a private family office, or a developer, we offer the deep sector insight required to navigate the complexities of retail warehouse investment.
Our track record speaks for itself. In the last year alone, we have transacted 26 retail parks with a combined value exceeding £1 billion. We don't just participate in the market; we lead it, having advised on the acquisition and sale of the UK’s two largest retail parks, Castlepoint and Parkgate.
Why the UK’s Leading Investors Choose Us
We believe that successful investment requires more than just data—it requires a boots-on-the-ground understanding of tenant demand and asset performance.
- Unrivalled Market Intelligence: Through our exclusive partnership with Curson Sowerby Partners (CSP)—the UK’s #1 retail warehouse letting agency—we have real-time insight into over 30 million sq ft of retail space.
- Partner-Led Service: Every instruction is handled personally by our founders, Nick Staunton and Hamish Whiteman. You get the benefit of our combined 65 years of experience on every deal.
- Off-Market Access: Most of our acquisitions are secured off-market. Our deep-rooted relationships with active investors allow us to find opportunities that others simply cannot see.

Specialists in Retail Warehouse Strategy
We advise on every stage of the property lifecycle, ensuring your capital works harder and your assets outperform the market.
Strategic Acquisitions & Disposals
We have secured some of the UK’s most prestigious retail destinations for our clients, including Cambridge Retail Park, Ladymead in Guildford, and Solihull Retail Park. When it comes to disposals, we focus on meticulous preparation to ensure the highest possible price, recently selling assets like Trafford Retail Park and Junction 27 in Leeds.
Development Funding & Asset Management
We thrive on complexity. We have negotiated sophisticated conditional funding agreements for major projects, such as acting for The Crown Estate on the £0.5 billion Rushden Lakes development. Beyond the transaction, we help you optimize value through aggressive asset management, evaluating tenant offers not just on rent, but on long-term strategic impact.
"Our mission is simple: to provide the most informed, honest advice in the retail warehouse sector, helping our clients identify and acquire assets that will genuinely outperform."
