Rent is a complicated calculation. It is charged at so many pounds per square foot, but not every square foot of a shop is worth the same value. The front part of a shop, looking from the window inwards, is the most expensive part.The rent for a shop that is wide but not very deep, will cost more than the same sized shop next door, which is narrow but goes back a long way.
If there is an upstairs sales area, the rental for this area will be less expensive than that downstairs.
The value per square foot varies depending on which part of the country and which town the shop is in. It will also vary depending on which part of town and the exact part of the street.
