Commercial

Commercial investments range from hotels, businesses, warehousing, retail units, office blocks located in resorts, urban and or rural environments.  They have the potential to be highly lucrative in all market places, but particularly in the cities and coastal resorts of the emerging markets.  As these markets grow they require huge amounts of infrastructure support.

These investments require careful negotiation and ongoing management. Key factors to bear in mind here are:

• The type of commercial venture the area will stand, or benefit from?
  
  
• What is the likelihood the town planners approving that particular business?
  
  
• Location is critical
  
  
• Is the plot fully usable?
  
  
• Ongoing property management if you chose to lease it out
  
  
• There is likely to be taxes on this asset even if you choose not to develop immediately
  
  
• Is it unencumbered (no liabilities such as debts or outstanding mortgages)?
  
  
• Are all the Title Deeds in order?
  
  
• Is it registered with the land registry?
  
  
• Factor in the length of time it may make to get the necessary permissions to build
