FAQ
What types of commercial property do you help buy?
We have experience in a diverse range of commercial property types. This includes retail spaces in local shopping strips, office buildings, industrial properties such as warehouses and factories, and other commercial assets. We work with you to understand your investment goals and target the specific type of commercial property that aligns with your strategy and risk appetite.
Can you help me find a commercial property for my business?
Yes, we can. Whether you are a small business owner looking for a new office or a larger company searching for an industrial warehouse, we can help. We work with owner-occupiers to understand their operational needs and find a property that not only meets their business requirements but also offers strong potential for future capital growth.
How do you find off-market commercial properties?
We have an extensive network of commercial real estate agents, property owners and industry professionals across Australia. This allows us to access properties that are for sale but have not been publicly listed. These off-market and pre-market opportunities give our clients a distinct advantage, reducing competition and increasing the chances of securing a high-quality asset before it's widely available.
How much does a commercial property buyer's agent cost?
Our fees depend on the scope of the service, property type and location. We offer transparent, fixed-fee pricing and will provide a clear quote upfront. Many clients find our service pays for itself through better outcomes, smarter decisions and reduced risk.
Can you help me buy a commercial property through my SMSF?
Yes, we have extensive experience helping clients use their SMSFs to acquire commercial property. We will work with your financial and legal advisors to ensure the transaction is compliant.
How long does the commercial property search and buying process take?
The timeline can vary significantly depending on the market conditions and your specific requirements. A comprehensive and strategic search can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months. Our end-to-end service is designed to be efficient, but we will also not rush the process, as our priority is to find the right property and secure it on the best possible terms for you.
What's the difference between a commercial and residential buyer's agent?
A commercial property buyer's agent specialises in properties that generate business income, not just residential rent. This means analysing factors like yield, lease agreements and zoning – skills that are different from standard residential buying. While both work for the buyer, a commercial agent has specific knowledge of zoning regulations, GST implications and commercial property market dynamics. This expertise helps commercial buyers make informed investment decisions and navigate the legal and financial aspects of a commercial property transaction.
Can I buy directly from the vendor's agent?
While you can buy directly from the seller's agent, it's important to remember who they represent. The selling agent has a professional obligation to get a good deal for the person who hired them: the seller. They are not working for you. A commercial property buyer's agent, on the other hand, works exclusively for you. We provide a professional buffer, negotiate on your behalf with your best interests at heart and give you objective, unbiased advice on the property's true value and potential pitfalls. This can save you a significant amount of money and stress in the long run.
Do you also offer commercial property management?
Yes. For clients who purchase investment properties, we provide a full commercial property management service. This includes tenant selection and liaison, lease negotiations, rent collection, maintenance coordination and compliance monitoring. Our goal is to maximise your returns, protect your asset and remove the day-to-day hassle of managing a commercial property yourself.
What are the tax implications of buying a commercial property in Australia?
The tax implications of buying commercial property are different from those for residential property. They can include GST on the sale price and stamp duty, which varies by state. You may also be able to claim capital works deductions and depreciation on certain assets. We always recommend you get professional advice from a qualified accountant or financial advisor before purchasing.
