”In the current environment of low cash returns and cheap lending, we’re fielding strong interest in securely leased retail assets, however few quality properties are coming to market,” Mr Tynan said.

Mr Hedger added; “We continue to see strong demand for well-located neighbourhood shopping centres, particularly those that have traded well through the COVID period. Centres that offer a long WALE and demonstrate resilient income profiles are transacting at a premium.”

He noted that sale of Sandstone Point Village has highlight the depth of the investment market, with eight genuine bids received.

The property has a gross lettable area of 2,289sqm and is anchored by a strongly-trading IGA supermarket and a medical centre and pharmacy which occupied over 65% of the income.

The centre also comprises seven specialty stores, including BWS. Other tenants include a dentist, pharmacy and medical centre, providing a WALE of 5.8 years.

Mr Hedger noted that the property’s growing catchment area and future development potential had also helped draw buyer interest.
