A MOMENT WITH

Dylan Carmichael

Role

Senior Surveyor, Lease Advisory Team. Joined LM in 2025.

Responsibilities

I specialise in rent reviews, lease renewals, and lease re-gears across high street retail, regional centres, central London, and out-of-town locations. Acting for both landlords and occupiers, I combine a rigorous approach with market knowledge and innovative thinking to optimise lease terms, maximise value, and align property strategies with commercial goals.

Industry Perspective

The retail market in the UK is constantly changing and continues to adapt to meet the needs of consumers. Being a part of this is exciting, interesting, and rewarding, as it helps consumers enjoy their retail experience, exposing them to new trends, brands, and destinations – whether to shop, eat, or socialise.

Retail experience that has shaped my thinking

As a native Kiwi and devoted flat white enthusiast, I’m captivated by how a nation historically devoted to tea has wholeheartedly embraced coffee culture. Across the UK, a wave of specialist coffee shops is redefining not just how people drink coffee, but how they connect, socialise, and experience their cities. These thoughtfully curated spaces aren’t just about a cup of coffee – they foster community, spark conversation, and invite repeat visits. Standouts include Rosslyn for lively meet-ups, Roasting Plant for pre-theatre rituals, Watchhouse for meticulously crafted pour-overs, Qima for those picture-perfect moments, %Arabica for coffee purists, and WA Café or JENKI for matcha aficionados.
