Lifestyle Opportunities
For many years Cornwall has attracted thousands of visitors and second home owners, however now more and more people are seeking the opportunity to relocate within the Duchy and in so doing acquire a business which will provide them with both a comfortable income and attractive lifestyle.Falmouth’s Retail Market Update
What's the market like in Falmouth? From our perspective, very healthy! There are a few empty retail units throughout the resort, but generally, this is the case in most towns. In fact, to only have a few empty shops, given the overriding economic climate, is that not a good current situation? Furthermore, the majority of the empty units we have seen in Falmouth over the last few months are either under offer, or have in fact now been tenanted. I feel one thing that creates a slightly negative impression to pedestrians, is that a shop can be empty with a 'To Let' board on it for many months, whilst the transaction is going through the legal processes. It follows, that the reality is not as bad as the High Street appears.
