£1 shopping centre reveals retail crisis

A shopping centre has been put up for auction with a starting price of £1 in a move underlining the crisis facing retail landlords.

Columbia Threadneedle Investments, the large City fund manager, is selling the Postings Centre in Kirkcaldy, Fife, on behalf of a pension fund.

The shopping centre receives £152,005 rent each year but 13 of its 21 shop units are vacant as a result of retailers pulling out of the town or closing down. Tesco quit as the centre’s anchor tenant in 2015.
