Commercial Rental Properties
Commercial premises for investors seeking rental income from business tenants.
ALV Homes selects commercial properties with existing tenants as well as premises considered for a new tenancy. These include spaces for supermarkets, banks, restaurants and cafes. We review the property, intended business use and rental arrangement together.
Business use, tenants and rental costs
Location and business use
We assess whether the location suits the intended business and what local demand exists for the premises.
Tenants and lease terms
We review the existing tenancy or proposed rental arrangement, the lease terms and demand from potential tenants.
Permitted use
Before purchase, we review the property’s legal structure, zoning, usage rights and rental requirements in relation to the intended business.
Income and ownership costs
We compare the expected rent with the costs of ownership and review the evidence supporting the rental assumptions.

We bring together the review of legal structure and permitted use with the lease terms, expected rent and ownership costs.
Questions about commercial rental property
Does the rent stated in a lease show the income actually received?
The lease shows the contractual rent. Evidence of payments shows whether that rent has been received. Both matter when assessing an occupied property, together with the remaining lease term and any costs borne by the owner. An advertised rental figure should be read in that context.
How does a vacant property differ from one with a tenant?
With a vacant property, the plan must allow for the time needed to find a tenant and any work needed for the intended use before rent begins. With an existing tenant, the starting point is the current lease and payment record. We assess the rental proposal in relation to the property’s actual position.
