Roux Jewellers extend stay on East Street

Acting on behalf of the landlord, Goadsby have advised upon the renewal of the lease at 107 East Street, Southampton.

The tenant, trading as Roux Jewellers, has committed to a new 5 year lease which will bring their stay beyond the completion of the proposed redevelopment of the East Street Shopping Centre, with a flagship Morrison’s supermarket in 2014.

Liam Small commented, “This renewal demonstrates the importance of taking advice from a surveyor when embarking upon lease renewals. Understanding the market and being able to suggest flexible lease terms which are suitable for both parties is vital to ensuring a tenant’s continued presence in what is a challenging period for High Street shops.” Liam continued, “Goadsby manage the property on behalf of the landlord and therefore action was taken to begin discussions with the tenant several months prior to the lease’s contractual expiry date.”
