Finding a commercial property can be challenging, with many unsure where to start. Richard Rafique, Director at Bradley Hall chartered surveyors and estate agents discusses how you could benefit from expert help when it comes to acquiring a property for your business.
There are a range of reasons why you may find yourself looking for a commercial property, whether you want to relocate an already established business, start a new venture, expand into larger premises or downsize. You could be looking to either buy or lease an office, warehouse, retail unit or land. Whatever your requirements, an expert property acquisition service could help you find the ideal space whilst also ensuring you make an informed and beneficial investment.
The process of finding and acquiring a commercial property can be time consuming, stressful and costly. Time is usually of the essence where business is concerned, so at Bradley Hall we have a dedicated team to ensure that all of our property services are time and cost effective. Our team of Surveyors are experts in their field, and are always up to date with important legislation, market activity and matters which could affect your purchase. Having an expert working on your behalf will ensure each step is completed efficiently and professionally.
In Bradley Hall’s 27 years of providing property services to commercial clients we have been very successful in acquiring properties on favourable terms and values on behalf of numerous clients, including large corporate operators, funds and individuals who are investing. We also dispose of existing premises in the most cost effective manner on behalf of clients.
With our extensive databases of available properties, intimate market knowledge and close network with local agents, we are able to source the most suitable opportunities for our clients, often on an ‘off market’ basis. We are able to present exclusive opportunities which are appropriate for each client’s budget and requirements.
During the acquisitions service, we work closely with clients to define the parameters of their exact requirements whilst sourcing all
suitable accommodation, undertaking inspections and preparing a detailed report with specific recommendations. Going so far as to project managing the entire process, we oversee viewing arrangements and undertake full negotiations. We secure the most advantageous terms, which can result in considerable savings for clients across the length of their tenancy, or save on their purchase.
Throughout my time at Bradley Hall, I have been a highly proactive agent, working closely with clients to acquire and dispose of premises in accordance with their objectives and requirements.
In all projects we liaise closely with solicitors and other professional parties, we present a swift and smooth conclusion to the legal process and also go as far as coordinating fit-outs if required, ensuring the space is suitable for occupation.
Our team of expert valuers is also headed by Richard and provide valuation advice for various major financial institutions and pension schemes. One of our most recent investment acquisition projects saw the £2.4m purchase of a South Tyneside shopping centre by a North East business consortium, which is now set to be redeveloped and occupied by a range of national and local businesses.
No matter the size of your business or investment, we can help you every step of the way.
