FAQs
Commercial conveyancing is the process of buying or selling a commercial property, such as office and retail space, or an industrial property. Commercial conveyancing involves an extensive due diligence process, permitted use of the land considerations, town planning and zoning implications, retail or commercial leases, land tax, and GST.
Both residential conveyancing and commercial conveyancing processes are similar in that they both involve the transfer of freehold land. Commercial conveyancing is generally more in depth and has a lot more complexities to consider due to the nature of this type of transaction. A commercial property may have a lease attached to it, the use of the property may be restricted, and the due diligence process and tax implications must be considered.
Due diligence is an essential part of any commercial property purchase. The due diligence process should ensure that all the applicable enquiries have been made to assure you that you are making an appropriate commercial investment. The due diligence process may involve undertaking property and land searches, building and pest inspections, local Council and other relevant searches, and a comprehensive review of the lease and tenant conduct.
Whilst there are no two transactions that are the same, the general commercial conveyancing process involves:
- The buyer and seller obtain independent legal and accounting advice as to the correct entity to appear on the Contract.
- The buyer and seller obtain independent legal advice as to the terms and conditions, including any special conditions that need to be included in the Contract. The Contract may include conditions related to a pest and building inspection, finance approval, due diligence, review of leases, prior sale, etc.
- Once the Contract has been agreed upon, the buyer and seller will sign the Contract and the critical dates will be set and diarised.
- Once the Contract becomes unconditional, both the buyer and the seller will begin preparing for settlement. It is at this stage that the parties will organise the appropriate exchange of documents, calculation of settlement adjustments and the transfer of land in accordance with the title’s office requirements.
