Handling Commerical Property

Many businesses have bought commercial property in the form of their office, factory, warehouse or retail space.

Very often this property has gone up in value leaving the owner wondering if he is going to get full market value for the property inside the business.

Many business owners do not want to sell the property but bristle at the thought of paying stamp duty to remove the property from the business by selling it to themselves or another SPV owned by them.

The good news is that most buyers do not want the property inside the business and would prefer to rent it.

Further good news is that although complex, there are ways of removing the business without paying stamp duty.

This generally increases the value of the property even further as the business buyer will insist on a long lease at market rates.
