Selling Commercial Property

Sell your commercial property today!

Selling commercial property is very different to selling private property. There are different things to consider, and in recent years, a more temperamental market has made sales slower and less predictable.

Fortunately, there are ways to sell your commercial property fast. With The Property Buying Company, you can avoid the delays and unpredictability of the open market and choose a quicker, more certain alternative. Choosing to sell via a cash buyer means you’ll receive a free, no-obligation cash offer and, if you decide to accept, the sale can move forward immediately.

This service is designed for property owners who want a quick, reliable sale without stress. You’ll receive a clear, transparent offer, dedicated support throughout and the reassurance of a guaranteed buyer ready to proceed when you are.

How to sell your commercial property with The Property Buying Company

Get a fast, hassle-free sale us. Follow these simple steps to request your free cash offer and move forward with your commercial property sale.

Step 1: Contact us about your commercial property

Call us on 0800 024 8444 or enter your postcode into the field below. We’ll ask you to share some basic details about your property, including location, property type and condition.

Step 2: We'll get in touch

One of our expert property consultants will get in contact with you either via phone or email. This is a no-obligation chat about your property and ambitions as a seller.

Step 3: We'll make an initial offer

After the phone call, it usually takes us 24 hours to make our first no-obligation cash offer. We do this without you spending anything. This isn’t our final offer, but it does give you a better idea of what you can expect if you choose to move forward.

Step 4: We may visit your property for an in-person valuation

This depends on your property. If this step is necessary, we’ll usually send an expert Regional Manager to value your property, which is no different to what an estate agent would do. You’ll receive a finalised cash offer after this visit (this may be higher or lower depending on the valuation).

Step 5: The legal stuff and RICs survey

We’ll cover the cost of a solicitor, even if you choose one yourself. We’ll also take care of all the other legal work and cover any additional fees. Finally, we’ll arrange an RICs survey to make sure nothing within your property needs significant work.

Step 6: Time to make the sale

If we’re happy with the surveyor's report, we’ll proceed with the sale. You only need to review, accept and sign the contract. Once you’ve done that, we can finalise the sale.

Why do many vendors want to sell commercial property quickly?

There are a few reasons why many vendors need to sell their commercial property fast, for example:

  • Release tied-up capital quickly, helping businesses improve cash flow, repay loans, or cover essential operational expenses.

  • Fund business growth and expansion, including moving to larger premises or investing in new machinery and equipment.

  • Support business closure or restructuring, allowing owners to liquidate assets and distribute funds to stakeholders.

  • Handle unexpected life or business changes, such as partnership breakdowns, bereavement, divorce, or financial difficulty.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How much will a cash buyer typically pay for a commercial property?

Generally, you can expect around 75-85% of your property’s market value from a cash buyer. Depending on your property’s features and location, this offer could be as high as 90% of its market value. The lower price is due to the speed of the transaction and the risks that a cash buyer takes on because of that. 

If you’re concerned about time, stress and costs associated with a longer time to sell, you may want to approach a cash buyer. They should have the funds available to purchase your property quickly and cover all expenses, such as solicitor and surveyor fees.

How is my commercial property valued?

The value you receive will depend on a few things, including your property’s condition, location, UK market conditions and the state of global politics. We do this without you spending anything and use a combination of resources, including:

  • The information you provide on your property’s condition

  • Market data about your property and its location

  • The values of comparable properties

  • Your desired time to sell (we may need to offer a slightly lower amount if the process needs to be done quickly and potentially creates more risk for us as buyers)

What are the typical costs involved when selling a commercial property?

There are numerous costs involved with selling commercial property. However, not all of these will apply to your situation. For instance, if the property hasn’t gained value since you bought it, you won’t need to pay Capital Gains Tax (CGT). Similarly, if you decide to sell to a cash buyer, you won’t need to worry about fees for an estate agent, solicitor, valuer, surveyor or marketing.
