Commercial property

Nuances of commercial lease and sale

Details

  • Lease

    3+ year term, indexation, fit-out holidays, operating expenses (OPEX) separate from the rate.

  • Sale

    Leased commercial is 'income property': priced by yield, not per m².

  • Status

    Non-residential stock, kW capacity, ventilation, fire safety — critical for HoReCa/medical.

  • Taxes

    VAT on commercial lease for legal entities, non-residential property tax — count into TCO.

Commercial property is valued by yield: a 10–12% cap rate is the market benchmark. A 'cafe space' without extraction and power is just a space.
