Occupiers

Rapleys advises a diverse range of national retailers and leisure operators, delivering strategic property solutions that support business growth, operational efficiency and portfolio optimisation. Our occupier team acts for leading brands including Argos, Boots (Chemist, Opticians, and Hearingcare), Sainsbury’s, Primark and Sue Ryder, providing tailored advice across the full property lifecycle.

We support clients with the acquisition and disposal of stores, helping to identify opportunities, implement expansion strategies, and rationalise portfolios in line with evolving business requirements. Drawing on our extensive market knowledge and industry relationships, we secure the right locations, negotiate favourable terms and unlock both on and off-market opportunities across the UK.

Our expertise extends beyond transactional agency to include lease renewals, rent reviews, lease regears and wider landlord and tenant matters. We provide commercially focused advice that protects occupancy costs, enhances lease flexibility and supports long-term operational objectives.

Working as an extension of our clients’ in-house property teams, we also provide strategic consultancy and portfolio management advice, assisting with network planning, estate optimisation and wider real estate strategy. Combining national coverage with local market expertise, Rapleys delivers practical, results-driven solutions that help occupiers maximise value from their property portfolios and achieve their growth ambitions.
