Across Warrington and the wider North West, we’re speaking to more landlords than ever who are considering selling their commercial properties.
And honestly - it’s not hard to see why.
With rising costs, changing regulations and ongoing pressure on landlords, many property owners are starting to reassess their portfolios and future plans.
What’s Driving Landlords to Sell?
There are several factors currently affecting commercial property owners, including:
• Rising interest rates and increased borrowing costs
• Ongoing EPC regulation changes and upgrade requirements
• Increasing business rates pressures
• The cost of maintaining and improving older buildings
• Concerns around inheritance tax and passing assets down to family members
For many landlords, what was once a long-term hold is now becoming a conversation around timing, succession planning and overall portfolio strategy.
