Retail Site Sourcing Playbook

Searchland’s Retail Property Playbook (2026)

Explore how leading retailers and agents are sourcing new sites faster - across the UK’s high streets, roadside locations, and large-format destinations.
Understand how data, lease intelligence, and AI sourcing combine to reveal retail opportunities ahead of the market, with tailored insights for every site type.

Whether you’re expanding a drive-thru network, opening new high street stores, or identifying large supermarket plots, this playbook is your go-to guide for smarter, data-led retail acquisition.

Why is the data important?

Clarity on retail opportunity

Retail expansion success depends on timing and precision. Lease expiries, planning changes, and traffic data all shape opportunity - but these signals are often fragmented across multiple sources.

The Retail Site Sourcing Playbook brings them together to show where availability is emerging, which sites fit your format, and how AI can help prioritise the best options.

By combining planning records, lease data, and market intelligence, we give retailers and agents a clear roadmap to faster, more confident site sourcing.

This isn’t just a guide, it’s your complete toolkit for uncovering retail opportunity before the competition.
