Is commercial property a good investment?

Commercial property can be a strong investment offering income from leases and potential appreciation, however success depends on factors like location, tenant demand, and market trends.

Why should I use a commercial property agent instead of going direct?

Our expert team offers clear and impartial guidance, bringing expertise and market insight to support better decisions, providing several advantages to your commercial property needs.

What is the role of a commercial property agent?

Here at Holloway Iliffe & Mitchell, we guide clients through transactions from buying and selling to leasing, all with impartial advice, marketing, negotiations, and documentation management.

What is the difference between a commercial agent and a sales agent?

A commercial agent specializes in non-residential property (offices, retail, industrial), whereas a sales agent typically handles residential-property transactions.

Do commercial properties need an EPC?

Yes, most commercial properties require an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to demonstrate energy efficiency when rented or sold. To find out more, get in touch with us today.

Development Consultancy

We work with landowners, developers and investors to assess development opportunities and establish the most appropriate commercial strategy for a site or property.

Our advice can include development feasibility, market research, development appraisals, potential uses, achievable values and rental levels, scheme optimisation, infrastructure considerations, masterplanning and site layout.

Maximising development potential

A property’s existing use is not always its highest-value use. We assess development potential based on market demand, values, rental levels and site characteristics, identifying opportunities to improve layout, accommodation, use and overall scheme viability.

Market advice and property values

Understanding the market is essential when making decisions about commercial property.

Our local knowledge allows us to provide advice on market conditions, demand, comparable properties, rental levels and potential capital values.

This can help clients assess the viability of an opportunity, compare different options and make decisions based on realistic market expectations.

Property and portfolio strategy

We help property owners and investors develop effective strategies for individual assets and wider portfolios. Our advice can identify opportunities to improve performance, consider alternative uses, plan future requirements and maximise property values.

Investments in commercial property

We can provide property advice throughout commercial projects, working alongside your existing professional team and other specialist advisers. Our experience and established industry relationships help ensure property matters are effectively coordinated and projects continue to progress.
