Sell a vacant commercial property.
If you own an empty shop, office, warehouse or other commercial building and are considering a sale, Rivermark can help you prepare the details and approach potential buyers.
How we help.
We discuss the property and your plans, gather the information available and prepare a summary. We look for potential buyers and approach the parties you agree. We report the responses, including questions that need further information.
Who this is for.
- A vacant shop or former business premises.
- An empty office, warehouse or other commercial building.
- An owner deciding whether to sell an unoccupied property.
- A building with vacant upper parts or space that may need work.
What to consider.
The space and condition
Share the area, layout, condition, available plans and any work needed. Access, services and the position of any vacant upper floors can affect what a buyer needs to check.
Use and planning
Tell us the former use and share any planning decisions or proposals. A planning adviser can check the position and answer questions about a proposed use.
Selling the property
Clarify what is included, the asking terms if known and whether an agent is already instructed. Your solicitor can check the title and sale documents.
Tell us the essentials.
Share what you know. We can discuss the rest.
- The address, property type and approximate size.
- What you own and whether all parts are vacant.
- Any available plans, condition information or planning decisions.
- The asking price, timing and existing agent, if known.
We agree the work and fees in writing before starting work or contacting anyone about a property.
Common questions.
Does the building need to be refurbished before I enquire?
No. Tell us what you know about the condition and any planned work. We can discuss the property before you decide what to do.
Can you help if the upper floors are vacant?
Yes. Tell us what is included in the property and what you know about the upper parts, access and planning position.
Can you work with my existing agent?
Tell us about your existing instruction and its terms. We can discuss whether we can help alongside it.
