Comment: Can vacant shops resolve housing shortage issue?

Lockdown placed further pressure on retail businesses. - Credit: Getty Images/iStockphoto The challenges facing the high street were apparent way before COVID-19,  and the pandemic has made life even harder for already struggling retailers.  One estate agency has come up with an idea, though it s unlikely to benefit retailers: turning empty premises into much-needed homes   nearly 25,000 of them.  Keller Williams focused its analysis on 38 of the biggest hitters to have either ceased trading this year, or be due to close some or all stores in the near future. This list includes Topshop, TM Lewin, Cath Kidston, M&Co, Oasis and Jessops, all of whom had branches in either St Albans or Harpenden. 

The established agency model isn t quite right , says agent joining KW from D&G – Property Industry Eye

Hybrid estate agency Keller Williams has appointed Matthew Thompson, formerly of Douglas and Gordon and Foxtons. His new position at Keller Williams, which is part of a giant self-employed estate agent network based in the US, will be operating principal at the company’s central London Market Centre, known as KW Prime. Thompson was previously the area director for South London at Douglas and Gordon since 2016 with responsibility for 10 branch departments and 70 people. He was instrumental in training and strategy formation – being credited for improving the agency’s average fee from 1% to 2%. Previously, he ran Foxton’s Brixton branch and, at £3m annually, oversaw one of the highest branch revenues of all Foxtons’ offices. He spent nine years at Foxtons before moving to D&G. But Thompson now believes that the hybrid sector offers plenty of room for growth.
