Key points at a glance

  • Commercial property is almost always valued by its income value: tenants and lease terms are decisive.
  • A complete data room shortens the buyer's review by weeks.
  • Discreet marketing to vetted investors is the norm for commercial property.
  • VAT and input tax adjustment should be clarified with a tax adviser before the sale.
  • Lease extensions before the sale noticeably increase the value.

Why Sell Now?

Upper Franconia is changing, and this has a direct impact on the commercial property market:

  • Many companies are restructuring, creating new space requirements
  • The shortage of skilled workers is changing requirements for location and use
  • Online retail is booming: logistics space is in greater demand than ever
  • Healthcare and care locations are expanding
  • Investors are looking for stable, well-let properties as a hedge against inflation

In this environment, a well-thought-out sales process is essential.

Our Sales Process – Precisely Planned, Individually Implemented

  1. Market valuation & strategy. We analyse your property: location, condition, possible uses, income potential. On this basis, we develop a realistic pricing strategy.

  2. Documents & preparation. We professionally prepare all relevant documents: land register (Grundbuch), leases, plans, energy performance certificate (Energieausweis), location analyses.

  3. Targeted marketing. Through our network, we approach suitable buyers directly, from local business owners to institutional investors. Many deals are concluded off-market.

  4. Negotiation & protection. We moderate the sales process with a focus on clarity, trust and legal certainty, in cooperation with lawyers and notaries.

  5. Contract & handover. We continue to support you after the notary appointment: handover, key protocol, communication with tenants or operators.

What Increases the Sale Price

  1. Extend leases: A longer remaining term lowers the buyer's risk and increases the price.
  2. Let vacant space: Let space is worth more than empty space with a hoped-for rent.
  3. Organise the documents: Leases with all addenda, schedule of areas, service charge statements, building permits.
  4. Provide energy data: Energy performance certificate and consumption figures; institutional buyers ask for them.
  5. Disclose the maintenance backlog: with a cost estimate, rather than letting it be discovered during due diligence.
