Why use a commercial agent to market a property?

Written by Bedfordshire Chamber of Commerce | 13 Aug 2019

Marketing a commercial property for sale or rent can be a confusing and time-consuming process. It is essential to ensure everything is in place to achieve the maximum return from your property.

Using a professional commercial agent, such as Robinson & Hall, to assist you in the process can alleviate many of these concerns and make sure the maximum reward is achieved out of your property. Tessa Smith, Commercial Property Surveyor at Robinson & Hall has highlighted some of the areas and potential issues where she can assist with the sale/letting of your property:

Price
We have vast knowledge of the current market so can make sure the best price is achieved, the most suitable tenant/buyer is found and the time the property remains vacant is kept to a minimum.

Marketing
We have access to a wide range of property marketing platforms enabling us to expose your property to a wide audience. These would be costly and some inaccessible if you market the property yourself.

Understanding the legislation
We understand the required legislation associated with both renting and selling a property so can advise and organise these prior to the sale/letting. This can include things such as an Energy Performance Certificate and planning advice.

Advice on timings
We have a strong understanding of trends and how wider factors influence the market so can analyse the market and advise on the best time to advertise your property. We also have an insight into the possible period it will take to dispose of your property. By looking at all the factors, we can make sure the best can be achieved from your property.

Preparing the property for marketing
We will prepare your property for marketing. This includes checking all the correct documents are in place and the property is correctly presented throughout the marketing process.

Access to clients
We have access to a wide range of clients and contacts so can market your property directly to them. This can speed up the process and reduce the amount of tenant/purchaser checks which need to be completed.

Tenant/buyer diligence
At the commencement of any transaction with a new tenant/buyer, we will complete in depth checks into the covenants of the prospective occupier to ensure there are minimal issues going forward.

Time saving
Using us will save you a lot of time by not having to complete the accompanied inspections, liaising with the potential occupier, agreeing terms and corresponding with solicitors. Therefore, you will only receive concise and tailored updates at crucial milestones as agreed between us.

These are just some of the key areas where using us will ensure the maximum reward and minimal hassle for yourself when looking to both let out and sell your commercial property.
