About Acuitus Auctions 

Acuitus is the commercial auction specialist, with catalogues that consistently include: 

• Retail investments (high street, parades, supermarkets)

1. They are the UK’s “commercial yield benchmark”. Investors and lenders watch Acuitus results to understand: 

• yield compression in retail, industrial, logistics 
• tenant covenant strength 
• sector recovery (post?COVID retail, office repositioning) 
• appetite for long leases vs short leases Auction360 can publish

      2.  Acuitus attracts institutional vendors and buyers. Their catalogues often include assets from: 

• pension funds 
• REITs 
• banks & receivers 
• corporates 
• ational developers 

      3. Commercial lenders track Acuitus closely. Lenders use Acuitus catalogues to test appetite for: 

• tenant covenant risk 
• sector performance (retail vs industrial vs office) 
• lease length sensitivity 

• vacant commercial units Auction360 can produce lender appetite reports for commercial buyers.

  4.  Acuitus lots often include “value?unlocking angles”. Examples: 

• under?rented commercial units 
• short leases with regear potential 
• PD?eligible office buildings 
• mixed?use assets with uplift potential Auction360 can provide value?unlocking finance strategies.
