Case Study | Town Agency - Chase & Partners UK

Since 2006 Chase & Partners have been retained by Muse, a joint venture between DCK Concessions Limited and Arcadia Group retailing ladies accessories, to secure suitable shop outlets for their rapid expansion programme.

Muse is a new business venture and the business plan required Chase & Partners’s input at an early stage so as to determine the strategy to secure suitable accommodation.

Chase & Partners’s in town shops agency team have been able to provide a dedicated service with a strong focus to ensure that the expansion programme remains on track in acquiring properties throughout the UK.

The requirements list of town is regularly reviewed and Chase & Partners’s market exposure ensures that opportunities are quickly identified and assessed, thereby minimising wasted effort. This is only possible because of our in depth knowledge of the market and town centres throughout the UK.

Advice given to Muse includes town selection, available accommodation, competition assessments, rental valuation, negotiations and tactics, advice on lease terms, preparation of heads of terms and working with the professional team to finalise agreements. Recent openings include Bluewater, Enfield, Gateshead, Manchester, Derby and Newcastle.
