QUOTE (On the edge @ Aug 7 2012, 01:09 PM) Read Adam Smith stuff - they'll charge what the market can bear and its generally the landlords in the lead. I suppose one good thing, if they really are putting rents up - they at least can see an end to the recession. Then they are more gifted than a lot of economists. I've read Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations" years ago.

QUOTE (GMR @ Aug 7 2012, 12:47 PM) I was talking to a manager of one of the stores in the Kennet Centre and he told me that their rent is going up forcing some companies to leave. Sky, which was sold in the main walkway, had to leave because of the rises. Others are also leaving.
Should rent prices rise in a recession, stay the same or go down? Is the Kennet Centre right to put up their rent at this moment in time? Come on GMR - I know you love to make out you have some 'hot' gossip - name some names at least. As to the KC - they own the place, they can do what they like. Does a shop owner not the right to put up his prices? This is what a shop owner should do when costs go up. Pass it along the line.

For some reason I doubt we are talking about huge increases here. The KC is on a ft² basis one of the cheapest places in town to have a shop. Actually as the source is GMR, I doubt there is actually anything to talk about......

I am sure any shop owner in the Kennet will tell you the same if you ask. If you know differently then say. QUOTE As to the KC - they own the place, they can do what they like. Excellent, I am really happy for them. QUOTE Does a shop owner not the right to put up his prices? This is what a shop owner should do when costs go up. Pass it along the line.

Your usual answer 'it was what I was told'. If it was made up then other shop owners will refute what I said. And as for my "usual answer"; if that is the case then that is the case. It is no big deal or worth getting your knickers in a twist. If you've got evidence to contradict what I said then lets hear it. Otherwise shut up!!

I am repeating what I was told; which can be easily verified. As for which ones; I was only told about one which I said in the main post.
