Looking to acquire an industrial property? We have some top tips on what to consider first...
June 2016
If your business is looking for new industrial premises there are a huge range of issues you need to consider. We often find clients come to us because they have been unsuccessful in identifying an industrial property to meet their needs, or they simply require the expertise of a of a commercial property firm in order to assist with something they aren’t familiar with.
To get started you might want to run through this check list and make notes of your requirements…
- Size of desired unit
- Location – local amenities, road/transport links
- Specification – design/finishes/quality required
- Timing & budget
- Floor loading
- Eaves height
- Roller shutter doors – width & height
- Electricity supply – do you require a larger than normal supply?
- Local broadband speeds
- Parking allocation
- Security
From an occupiers point of view it is important to consider all of the above factors, it is not just the building itself which needs careful consideration, but also the surrounding area, accessibility issues for staff and clients and local amenities.
Often larger companies are keen to have an impressive building in order to create a presence in the area, and to impress visiting customers and clients, so the appearance of the property and its entrance/reception areas and parking are also important factors.
