世邦魏理仕:禁止業主對指定行業追租或中止租約 租客和業主均受壓
世邦魏理仕香港顧問及交易服務商舖資深董事溫運強表示,政府在財政預算案中提議立法禁止業主對指定行業追租或中止租約,是項措施有機會對租客和業主都有壓力,對租戶而言,倘若要在一個月內償還3個月租金並繳交當月租金,對於營運和現金流方面都會造成相當的壓力。對於業主,倘若租戶在不准追租期後結業,業主將承受商鋪丟空風險和經濟損失。而對仍然在供樓還貸款的業主,亦會造成現金流問題。
溫運強指,面對疫情第五波的衝擊,不少商戶,包括大型零售商,受疫情影響出現人手調配的困難,加上一旦有員工確診,零售、食肆一般需要支付頗高昂的消毒清潔費用。因此有些商戶會選擇暫時停業部分分店。至於擴展或租舖的計劃,零售商都在觀望疫情控制的進展,才會再決定未來的策略。
世邦魏理仕建議業主和租戶在這具挑戰性的時期主動尋找協商,根據自身情況商討彈性租約處理方式,如租金減免、租務重組等,尋找共識、以保持雙方繼續長期合作的關係,渡過時艱。
另外,溫運強指,政府在四月正式分批派發總額共10,000元的消費券,對零售市道絕對是好消息。然而,目前疫情仍然嚴峻,預計疫情在三月達高峰之後確診數字會回落,社交距離限制若得到放鬆,這幾個月壓抑的消費力爆發,將迎來報復式消費。
