Hopefully he will change his mind but just wanted to point out the stupid rates landlords demanding. He said business rates about GBP 8k on top so that is one thousand a week profit just going in rent and counciltax.
I to think shop very good .
Who are the landlords expecting to step into all the empty properties , certainly not estate agents they are closing rather than opening.
Can someone who understands local finance explain why landlords seem to rather leave shops empty than considering reducing rents.????
