What does buying or selling commercial property involve?
High values, real risk and consequences that last for years. Here’s how a transaction succeeds.
For some businesses, ownership brings stability and control; for others, flexibility and freeing up capital matter most. Either way, a successful transaction demands market insight, technical understanding and negotiating skill.
Typical steps
- Market analysis – pricing, trends and demand
- Strategic review – own or lease, release capital or invest
- Due diligence – technical, legal and financial
- Negotiation – terms that protect your interests
- Completion – structure, financing and signing
When should companies consider buying or selling?
- When premises are too small, too large or in the wrong place
- To free up capital for the core business
- As a long-term investment
- For control and more predictable costs
The advantage of an independent adviser
Some players combine advice with their own portfolios and may have an incentive to fill particular buildings. At Realia we have no properties to sell or fill – we give objective advice and sound analysis.
