Sale and lease back offer return opportunities in European retail investment market – Savills

17 August 2018

Selling and leasing back is becoming an increasingly attractive option for value-add investors to source property in a European market where assets available for sale are rare, according to international real estate advisor Savills. Approximately €1.1 billion retail properties have been sold and leased back (SLB) in Europe in the past 12 months. In the first half of 2018 SLB accounted for €850 million (4%) of the total €18.5 billion invested in retail across Europe, according to Savills analysis of data from Real Capital Analytics. Savills says that this is six times the amount sold and leased-back during H1 2017 and 28% above the H1 average over the past five years, with SLB activity  being particularly driven by Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands; mature markets where retail ownership still offers opportunities for investors.
