About Us

The members of the Shop Agents Society are practicing shop agents from commercial property practices all over the UK. They are involved on a day to day basis with lettings, sales, acquisitions, valuations, rent reviews and lease renewals of properties in High Streets and Shopping Centres all over the country and offer a great depth of experience and knowledge about shop property in all its facets. The society was formed to provide the opportunity for those members to share information and to meet to make useful contacts and we hope friends on a regular basis for social, educational or business purposes and to generally to promote the business of shop agency throughout the UK.
