5 Tips For Choosing The Right Property For Your Business

5 Tips For Choosing The Right Property For Your Business

Your business premises can make or break your business. Finding the right property can seem like an uphill struggle, especially if you are unsure about what you are looking for.

Tip 1: Follow your head, not your heart

Make a choice based on rational thought and not on your emotional investment.

Tip 2: Your financial position

It can be the driving force and also the barrier to renting or buying a business property. Choose suitable premises, at the right price because if the costs are too big, it will suck your business under.

Tip 3: Location, Location, Location

A retail unit in a shopping mall with a footfall of several hundred people a day will cost considerably more than a unit down an alleyway or side street. If your business needs footfall – people walking past and dropping in ‘on spec’ –clearly you need a property as close to the main shopping route as possible. If your business doesn’t need this footfall, serviced offices on business premises can tick all your maintenance and service needs, ensuring all bases are covered.

Tip 4: The Right Impression

Your business premises must suit your business. It needs to match the sector where you operate. If you are a store that sells vintage clothing and accessories, there is a certain look and ambience you want to create to meet customer expectations and match your commercial needs.

Tip 5: The Legal Stuff ‎‍

Ensure you can meet the various legal obligations and rules that might come with your new property. You don’t want to sign the dotted line only to find that to make it into what your business needs will cost a small fortune.

Thanks to you Harry for a job well done in leasing my property at 29 Glastonbury Avenue, Unanderra in January 2012.

The determination and efficiency in which you found a new Tenant for the property was very impressive, and I found the entire process, from advertising the property for Lease, to signing the new final documentation, ran very smoothly and stress-free.

Your flawless reputation as a trustworthy and successful sales and leasing agent throughout the Illawarra is most definitely justified and I look forward to dealing with you again in the future. I would also recommend your agency to anyone, without reservations. Thank you again for providing me with such an excellent service.

On behalf of my brother Anthony and I, we wish to thank you for selling our property at 12 Durgadin Drive, Albion Park Rail in November. You were able to get us a great result and also helped us to secure and purchase our new larger premises in Unanderra whilst our existing premises were listed on the market.

At a very stressful and overwhelmingly busy time for us, with our head office relocation, expansion of the business and simultaneous Settlements, Harry made the selling and buying process very easy and straightforward. I felt the marketing of our property was handled exceptionally; the advertising of the property for sale complimented Harry's hard work and commitment to the sale.

As one of the property owners, the desire to be kept informed was high on my agenda and Harry certainly lived up to my expectations in this regard. I appreciated the regular contact as well as being kept up-to-date through emails, phone calls and meetings.

Harry has a no-nonsense approach to sale which I very much appreciate. I will not hesitate to engage Harry as our agent in any future commercial property dealings.

Just a short note of thanks to you and your team for negotiating the sale of our property at Foreshore Road, Port Kembla.

I especially appreciated the advice and guidance that you provided to us throughout the selling process. Despite your assurances, we did anticipate this property be listed on the market for some time, but it was a great relief to be told that you had found a purchaser in a relatively short amount of time, which then eventuated in our sale.

Once again, thank you for your assistance, perseverance and hard-work, and I look forward to working with you and your team again in the future. I would also have no hesitation in recommending your agency to any other companies or contacts within the industry.
