Commercial FAQs

It’s easy to get started — just contact our team. We’ll arrange a property inspection, take any necessary measurements, and guide you through each step of the process, including pricing, marketing, and negotiations.

How long does it take to sell a commercial property?

The timeframe can vary depending on factors such as market conditions, property type, pricing, and buyer demand. Once terms are agreed, the legal conveyancing process largely determines the speed of the sale. Our experienced team works closely with all parties — including solicitors, buyers, and sellers — to ensure a smooth and efficient transaction.

While it’s true that all property can be considered an investment, the term ‘investment property’ typically refers to a property that is already let to a tenant under a lease and producing rental income. In this case, you’re effectively purchasing both the property and the income it generates.

In contrast, a property sold with vacant possession — meaning it’s empty and without a tenant — may be more suitable for buyers intending to occupy the space themselves or lease it out in the future.

All of our available commercial properties are listed on our website and on Rightmove Commercial. Each listing includes key details such as rent or price, property particulars, floor plans, and photographs.

If you find a property that meets your needs, contact us to arrange a viewing. Should you wish to proceed, our team will guide you through the next steps — from negotiating terms to instructing solicitors and completing the lease.

When terms are agreed for a lease or sale, we prepare a Heads of Terms document. This outlines the main points clearly and concisely before legal documents are drawn up.

Key lease terms typically include:

  • Lease length (term)
  • Rent and rent review provisions
  • Rent deposit requirements
  • Repairing obligations
  • Insurance responsibilities
  • Permission for alterations

Our team will guide you through each of these terms to ensure you fully understand your obligations before proceeding.

Yes, a deposit is often required when leasing a commercial property. This is typically equivalent to 3 to 6 months’ rent, plus VAT if applicable, though the amount can vary depending on the terms agreed.

The deposit is usually held by the landlord for the duration of the lease and may be returned at the end, subject to the terms of the agreement.

We work with you to understand your business requirements, budget, and preferred location, then identify the most suitable commercial property options to match your needs.
