What due diligence should I carry out before buying?
Buyers should review leases, tenant covenant strength, service charge arrangements, planning permissions, title documents, environmental matters and building condition reports. Professional legal and surveying advice is strongly recommended before completing a purchase.
What additional costs should I budget for?
In addition to the purchase price, buyers should budget for Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT), legal fees, surveys, finance costs, insurance and any refurbishment or maintenance works that may be required.
