Investing in commercial property can deliver strong long-term returns, but it demands careful planning, research, and expert support. At My Agent Aus, we guide buyers and sellers through every step of the process. Whether expanding your business or growing your portfolio, here are the key factors to consider:
Location Still Comes First –
A prime location near major roads, public transport, and business hubs boosts tenant appeal and capital growth. Future developments, infrastructure upgrades, and zoning changes can also enhance value. For retail, visibility and foot traffic are just as important as accessibility.
Property Condition and Costs –
Once you’ve found a suitable location, inspect the building’s structure, roof, plumbing, electrical systems, and air conditioning. Older properties may require costly upgrades budget for these early. A low upfront price can become expensive if major repairs are needed.
Do the Market Research –
Understand rental rates and vacancy trends to estimate income potential. A local agent makes a big difference, at My Agent Aus, we monitor commercial precincts closely to help clients identify value in each suburb.
Finances and ROI –
Factor in all costs beyond the purchase price, including rates, insurance, maintenance, and management. Work with a broker early, commercial loans often require higher deposits and different terms. Knowing your financial position up front is essential.
Legal and Tax Considerations –
Commercial transactions involve greater legal complexity. Engage a solicitor to check contracts, zoning, and approvals. Be aware of GST and other tax implications early to avoid surprises.
