Frequently Asked Questions
Is VAT payable on the purchase of commercial property?
The sale of commercial property is exempt from VAT unless the owner of the property has ‘elected to tax’ the property with HMRC. If the property has been elected to tax then VAT will be due on the purchase price. ‘New’ commercial property (less than three years old) will be liable to VAT.
Do I need a survey or searches?
Property searches (such as an environmental search, local authority search, water and drainage search and coal search) provide crucial information about the property itself and the local area. Many contracts for sale will expect a prudent buyer to have made all reasonable enquiries and this will include property searches. A survey will indicate any structural problems with the property and whether expenditure will be necessary. Both searches and surveys help to protect your investment. If you are purchasing with the assistance of a lender then searches are usually compulsory.
