The problem
Retail rent is still negotiated in the dark.
Landlords and brokers see hundreds of signed deals every quarter. Retailers usually see only their own lease book. The information asymmetry isn't a market failure. It is the market structure.
Asking rent is not signed rent
Asking rents set expectations. Signed outcomes show what tenants actually agreed. Clarent benchmarks against the latter.
Signed rent tells the real story
Headline asking rents miss the picture. Clarent benchmarks against what tenants actually signed for in your city, category, and size band.
One bad clause can erase profit
Uncapped CPI, full FRI, personal guarantees. Quiet clauses compound over the term. Clarent flags them in plain English.
Why this matters now
The renewal window is when you have the most room to act.
Margin pressure is rising
Wages, energy, and goods are all up. Rent is the largest controllable line still open to renegotiation.
Indexation shocks are hitting renewals
CPI-linked uplifts signed in calmer years are now compounding into material annual increases.
Pre-shift leases are coming due
Many terms agreed before today's retail reality are entering their break or renewal windows.
Tenants need the benchmark first
Clarent gives the signed-outcome baseline before the next conversation with the landlord starts.

Data credibility
Built on signed outcomes. Not asking prices.
Clarent benchmarks your rent against anonymised, verified signed lease outcomes. Ranges tighten when comparable evidence is strong and widen when data is thinner. We always show you which.
Verified signed leases
Outcomes ingested from tenant submissions, partner datasets, and verified disclosures. Not asking prices.
Like-for-like comparables
Comparables matched to your city, category, and size band. Not blended regional averages.
Comparable thresholds
Benchmarks only published when minimum comparable counts and recency thresholds are met.
Savings range width
Ranges tighten where evidence is dense and widen where it is thinner. We tell you which you're in.

Risk surface
12 risks. Plain English. Severity-ranked.
Clarent's detector flags what tenants typically discover too late.
HIGH
Your rent escalates with inflation, with no upper limit.
In a 5-year lease at 4% inflation, that's roughly a 22% rent increase you can't protect against.
HIGH
Service charge has no cap. Your share of landlord costs is open-ended.
In shopping centres, uncapped service charges can grow 10–20% in a single year.
MEDIUM
Break clause notice deadline is approaching: 15 Sep 2026.
Miss this date and you lose the break right entirely.
HIGH
Full repairing lease. You are responsible for all repairs including structural.
In older buildings this can mean unexpected six-figure costs for roof, HVAC, or building systems.
LOW
Marketing costs are bundled into service charge.
Makes it harder to see what you're actually paying for promotional activity.
These are 5 of 12 risk detectors. Every lease is scored against all of them.
Money at stake
The gap becomes a hidden tax on every store.

What Clarent surfaces
Example insights Clarent can surface.
Illustrative, not customer outcomes.
Vilnius, Lithuania · 92 m² café, high street
Situation
Asking rent €31/m²/month for a high-street café space.
Benchmark signal
Median for the location, category, and size band: €22/m²/month. Proposed rent appears ~40% above signed comparables.
Risk signal
Standard café lease structure; cost exposure concentrated in headline rent rather than escalation or service charge.
Practical use
Evidence to discuss with landlord before signing. Possible negotiation angle: anchor on €22 median; rent-free period as alternative incentive.
12-store fashion portfolio · Poland and Czech Republic
Situation
Multi-store portfolio review across two markets.
Benchmark signal
4 stores appear meaningfully above category median for their size band.
Risk signal
2 stores have uncapped service charges. Concentrated in three shopping centres negotiated in 2022.
Practical use
Prioritization framework. Focus renewal negotiation effort on the stores driving the largest overpayment exposure.
35-store F&B operator · Multi-country
Situation
Renewal window opening on a Warsaw shopping centre lease.
Benchmark signal
Asking renewal rent appears 28% above current signed comparables in the same centre's category.
Risk signal
Uncapped CPI escalation. Break notice deadline approaching.
Practical use
Anchor evidence for renewal discussion. Option to walk if break clause window still open.
New-location evaluation · Bucharest beauty retail
Situation
Evaluating a new beauty location before signing.
Benchmark signal
Proposed all-in monthly cost vs. expected sales density returned a viability range.
Risk signal
Standard market terms. No unusual clause flags.
Practical use
Maximum defensible rent envelope to inform negotiation ceiling.
47-store CEE retail chain · Beauty and lifestyle
Situation
Full-portfolio diagnostic across CEE markets.
Benchmark signal
6 stores identified as driving the majority of overpayment exposure.
Risk signal
5 of those 6 in lease structures with uncapped escalation.
Practical use
Renewal-cycle priority list. Identification of leases worth early break-clause action.
Illustrative patterns based on Clarent's benchmark dataset and engine capabilities, not real customer outcomes. Real customer outcomes will be published only with explicit consent.

Why Clarent exists
Built from inside European retail.
Clarent was built by an operator with over a decade across senior store-operations roles in pan-European retail. Every renewal cycle exposed the same pattern: landlords with hundreds of signed comparables, tenants with one lease book. Every conversation started with the tenant guessing.
The benchmark database is 10,000+ signed European retail lease outcomes, with deep coverage across Central and Eastern Europe. It exists because no commercial source sells this data. Not CBRE, not JLL, not CoStar.
Clarent is the tenant-side baseline before the next conversation with the landlord starts.
