## How we help.

We discuss what you own and want to sell, prepare a summary of the information you have, and identify questions a buyer will need answered. We look for potential buyers and approach the parties you agree. We report the responses so you can decide what to pursue.

## Who this is for.

-   A freehold shop with one or more flats above.
-   A shop with offices, storage or vacant upper floors.
-   A mixed-use building where the shop, upper parts or both are let.
-   An owner-occupied shop with accommodation above.

## What to consider.

### What is included in the sale?

Establish whether the freehold covers the shop and upper parts, and whether any flats have been sold on long leases. Your solicitor can check the title, leases and any rights affecting the building.

### Who occupies the building?

Record which parts are occupied, the rents and the available lease or tenancy documents. If any space is vacant, explain its current position; a buyer will need to understand what is being sold.

### Access, condition and plans

Separate entrances, shared access, services and the condition of the upper floors can affect how the building is used. If there is planning permission or a proposed conversion, share the decision and plans.

## Tell us the essentials.

Share what you know. We can discuss the rest.

-   The address and what you own, including any flats sold on long leases.
-   Whether the shop and upper parts are occupied or vacant.
-   The rent, asking price and sale timing, if known.
-   Existing agents, relevant plans or planning permission.

We agree the work and fees in writing before starting work or contacting anyone about a property.

## Common questions.

### Can I enquire if the shop or flats are occupied?

Yes. Tell us which parts are let or occupied and what information you have about the leases and rents. Your solicitor can advise on the documents and any rights affecting a sale.

### What if I am not sure whether to sell?

You can discuss the property and your plans before deciding. Rivermark agrees the work and fees in writing before starting work or contacting anyone.

### Can you help if I already have an agent?

Tell us about any existing instruction and its terms. We can discuss whether we can help alongside it.
