What are the advantages of investing in commercial property in the UK?
Commercial property investment can provide long-term income through leases, capital appreciation, and portfolio diversification. Compared to residential property, commercial leases are often longer and place more responsibility on tenants for repairs and maintenance.
What is a net initial yield and why is it important?
Net initial yield is the annual rental income expressed as a percentage of the purchase price (after acquisition costs). It’s a key measure used by investors to compare return on investment across different commercial properties.
Do I need a commercial mortgage to invest?
Many investors use commercial mortgages to finance purchases. Lenders typically require a larger deposit than for residential property (often 25–40%) and will assess the property’s rental income and condition as part of the loan application.
What should I look for when doing due diligence?
Due diligence includes reviewing lease terms, tenant strength, service charges, planning permissions, condition reports, and title deeds. A commercial solicitor and surveyor are strongly recommended before purchase.
What are the risks of investing in commercial property?
Risks include void periods (no rental income), tenant default, maintenance liabilities, and changes in market conditions or planning regulations. Mitigating these requires proper property management and lease structuring.
Can overseas investors buy commercial property in the UK?
Yes, the UK market is open to international investors. However, you may need a UK-based legal representative and must comply with HMRC tax obligations, including stamp duty and possible capital gains tax on disposal.
