What is the Process of Buying and Selling Commercial Property?

Buying and selling commercial property can signify an exciting new chapter for your business. However, it also comes with significant risk. This is why the correct processes and procedures must be followed for a smooth, safe, and secure transaction. So, what does buying and selling commercial property involve?

Buying Commercial Property for Your Business

The economic climate can provide extra hurdles when purchasing or selling commercial property. Needless to say, buying commercial property for your business is a substantial investment that can require a hefty mortgage deposit. With so much at stake, we thoroughly recommend consulting a professional to ensure you follow the process accurately.

Some things to consider in the commercial buying process include:

• Checking existing or pending development plans for the area in question
• Scoping out the local area and environmental reports
• Organising surveys
• Checking planning permission
• Negotiating terms and conditions of the sale
• Securing financing for the sale
• Drafting, reviewing, and signing the contract
• Transferring funds
• Ensuring compliance with local regulations

Selling Commercial Property

If you want to sell a commercial property, we provide comprehensive guidance from the outset of your transaction until the sale is finalised. After all, this procedure presents several challenges, from navigating complex legal documents and finding the right buyer to valuing your property accurately.

The process of selling commercial property involves:

• Marketing the property to potential buyers
• Providing detailed property information and addressing inquiries
• Negotiating terms and conditions to reach a contractual agreement
• Drafting and signing the purchase agreement
• Facilitating the buyer’s inspections and due diligence, addressing any issues if necessary
• Finalising legal documentation and transferring property ownership
• Settling any remaining taxes or other obligations

When buying and selling commercial property, a lawyer can help ensure the process is as smooth as possible. We can help you develop a good relationship with your prospective buyer or seller to reach a mutual agreement. We can also provide legal assistance regarding matters of commercial property finance.
