Like any investment, the value of commercial property

Like any investment, the value of commercial property can rise or fall in different economic climates. Values can also grow at different rates in fluctuating markets depending on whether the investment has been made in retail units, offices, warehouses or distribution centres. The art of commercial property investment and making a profit is to buy commercial premises when the value is low and sell them quickly when the market has risen, and the price is high.

Investor or commercial property owners are likely to have a portfolio of property interests to spread the risk of falling valuations and changeable property markets.

Examples

Owner investors might:

  • take on a derelict commercial property to improve and modernise it with the intention of leasing it out or selling it on
  • purchase bare land (or as part of a purchasing consortium) for development purposes, targeting new commercial build projects. This might require additional planning law advice if building on a contaminated land site or change of use is involved e.g. building new property on an old disused quarry, waste land, or converting a river wharf area within a town
  • concentrate on property development investments in brown field or greenfield sites, or ecological projects.

Finance

Selling:  property owners could decide to liquidate their interests in an existing project to fund their ambitions towards developing another site.

Buying:  property owners could decide to purchase a new site or an existing site from a business contact they know.

Investment:  property owners could choose to liquidate other assets or secure funds to facilitate further investment opportunities.
