Westfield Shopping Centre reduces service charge 7%

It has been reported in Property Week and Retail Week that Westfield Shopping Centre has dropped its service charges for tenants.

The top weighted rate for 2009 of £12.98/sq ft – compared to the original budget projection of £13.94/sq ft that was given to retailers around Christmas 2008.

Driven by ‘unhappy retailers’ who campaigned for a reduction in overheads, it seems this has been achieved by a mixture of cost cutting and streamlining services.
