Medical practices need barrier-free access and well-structured waiting areas, law firms look for discreet consultation rooms, and IT firms demand high-speed internet and open-plan options.

What practice tenants expect

  • Barrier-free access, ideally a lift and a step-free entrance
  • Parking right by the building and good bus connections
  • Sufficient ceiling heights and cabling for medical equipment
  • Sound insulation and data privacy in waiting areas
  • Proximity to other practices, a pharmacy or the hospital
  • The option of long-term leases with an extension option

Offices: what has changed

Since working from home became widespread, companies are looking for less but better space: meeting rooms, flexible workstations, good acoustics, fast internet and a pleasant environment. For owners of older offices, this means that investment in technology, accessibility and energy efficiency will decide whether the space can be re-let.

Worked example: practice space in Bayreuth

180 m² on the first floor with a lift, rent €11.50/m², term ten years. Annual rent €24,840. For an investor, this space as part-ownership (Teileigentum) would be worth around €350,000 to €380,000 at a net initial yield of 6% – depending on the service charge arrangements, the tenant and the condition.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to let practice space?

Often longer than flats, because practices plan for the long term and conversions are needed. Expect three to nine months – depending on location and fittings.

Can a flat be converted into a practice?

In principle yes, but this usually requires an approved change of use from the building authority. In owner-occupied apartment buildings, the declaration of division (Teilungserklärung) must also permit commercial use.
