“Click and collect” will be “completely fundamental” to evey retail location by 2020, Guy Grainger, head of UK retail at Jones Lang LaSalle, said in this month’s Property Week podcast.

Talking to Property Week podcast host James Max, Grainger predicted that the retail landscape will have changed considerably in eight years time.

He said that, if you consider that an average professional in London is willing tyo pay £250 to £350 a week for accomodation, and you are developing in higher value areas, then you need to produce smaller units.

The pair also discussed who is investing in London residential, best places to invest in London, and the impact of stamp duty land tax.
