Key Considerations When Selling Commercial Property

  • Property Valuation: Understanding your property’s market value ensures you price it competitively.
  • Existing Lease Agreements: If the property is tenanted, buyers will need details of rental agreements and tenant obligations.
  • Tax Implications: Selling commercial property may involve tax considerations, such as capital gains tax and VAT.
  • Property Condition & Surveys: Buyers may request surveys, so being prepared for any findings is essential.
  • Legal & Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring compliance with planning laws and environmental regulations can help avoid delays.

Why Sell a Commercial Property?

Selling a commercial property can be a strategic decision for many reasons, including:

  • Maximising Investment Returns: Capitalise on market conditions and realise the value of your property.
  • Business Relocation: If your business is moving, selling can free up capital for new opportunities.
  • Reducing Overheads: Selling a property you no longer need can help cut maintenance and tax expenses.
  • Portfolio Adjustment: Investors may choose to restructure their property holdings based on market trends.
