Most people have a difficult time when buying commercial property for the first time. More often than not, there is too much paperwork to go through before purchasing the property. A conveyancer will significantly ease this process. Read this guide for some tips on how to buy commercial property and why you need a conveyancer as you purchase such properties.
Property History
Your conveyancer will conduct extensive research to identify the following:
Property Inspection
Your conveyancer will organise a property inspection to ensure that you are not exposed to risks and financial losses once you purchase the property. The inspection begins by identifying the exact dimensions of the property. A lands surveyor can help ascertain the land boundaries. You will also need to compare the structure against the original construction blueprints. Typically, the seller will need to produce local council certificates if the property has had significant renovations and extensions. The building inspector will also ensure that the building meets the essential safety measures. These are safety features that guarantee the safety of occupants of tenants in case of a fire or natural hazard.
Pricing
After the property inspection, the conveyancer will appraise the property. Features such as large parking spaces, proximity to support businesses and luxury amenities such as swimming pools, gardens and gazebos will significantly improve the price of the commercial building. Besides, real estate demand trends and a foreseeable change in government regulation can affect the property price.
Terms Of Sale
Your conveyancer will use the appraisal report and the cost of similar properties to bargain the price of the property. Typically, the seller will need some a bank letter showing that you have sufficient finances or that you qualify for a loan. On your side, the conveyancer will ensure that the closing date gives you adequate time to organise your finances. They will also include contingencies that penalise the seller if they sell the property to someone else.
When buying commercial property, check the property history, conduct an inspection, check the property pricing and negotiate the terms of sale.

Hello there. I have spent my whole life in the same house. I inherited it from my parents, and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. When I was a child, my parents referred to our town as a "seaside village". My how things have changed! These days, I live in centre of a major city with resorts and highrises all around. Seeing the transformation has been absolutely fascinating. As I've watched the value of houses around me skyrocket, I've developed a voyeur's interest in the real estate market. I love nothing more than browsing in a real estate agent's window, attending an open house or watching an auction. I know that this is a hobby for quite a few people as some of my neighbours join me on my "excursions". I hope that others with an interest in real estate will enjoy the casual observations recorded in this blog.
