Private equity real estate fund management company Meyer Bergman is due to sign a £130 million agreement to buy a half-share in the Bentall shopping centre in Kingston, Surrey, the Financial Times reports.
Additionally, Retail property specialist Briant Champion Long believes that £1.1 billion of shopping centre deals will be completed soon.
While some experts believe that the market recovery in
