How do I rent commercial property?
The first thing to decide is the size, location, and type of property that best suits your business. Once you know what you're looking for, search for agents in your area with commercial properties to rent.
There are key differences between renting residential and commercial property though. Commercial leases are typically longer (3-10 years) and more complex, while residential leases are usually shorter (6 months to 1 year). Rent is higher and often includes extra expenses like taxes and maintenance.
What is a commercial property?
A commercial property refers to real estate that is used primarily for business purposes rather than residential living. This includes office buildings, retail stores, industrial spaces, warehouses, hotels, and more.
Unlike residential properties, which are meant for people to live in, commercial properties are used for commercial activities, such as running a business, retailing goods, or providing services.
Do you pay stamp duty on commercial leases?
Yes, you may need to pay stamp duty on commercial leases in the UK.
This is known as "Stamp Duty Land Tax" (SDLT). SDLT is charged on leases where the rent exceeds a certain threshold. The amount you pay depends on the value of the lease, including the annual rent and the length of the lease.
There are different rates for SDLT, so it’s advisable to speak with a legal or tax professional to ensure you're meeting all the requirements.
