Landlords of Administrators Duff & Phelps stores have been left with a “time-warp” portfolio of “dilapidated” and “oversized” stores, many of which have been classified as “secondary” or “poor”. Administrators Duff & Phelps’s most desirable sites in London are likely to be picked up by rivals such as Primark and Zara, but the majority of the chain’s 161 other stores haven’t been modernised for up to 20 years and are situated in financially depressed areas.
