The Process

How it works

Five stages, from first enquiry through to purchase — in sequence, start to finish.

01No charge

Tell us about your property

Complete our short appraisal form with some basic information about your commercial property. There is no charge for requesting an appraisal.

02Discovery

We speak with you

We'll contact you to learn more about the property, your circumstances and what you're looking to achieve from a potential sale.

03Assessment

We assess the development potential

Our team reviews the site and considers its potential for residential development. We'll look at the opportunity from a development perspective rather than simply considering what the property is worth in its existing commercial use.

04Agreement

We agree terms

If we believe there is a viable opportunity and both parties want to proceed, we'll discuss and agree the terms with you before moving forward.

05Purchase

We pursue planning and purchase

Commercial 2 Residential takes on the agreed costs and risks of pursuing planning permission. Once the required planning permission is secured in accordance with the agreed terms, we purchase the property.

Why Commercial 2 Residential

Know your options before you sell

A

Know your options before you sell

Selling your property in its existing commercial use may not be your only option. Our appraisal helps you understand whether there could be another route worth considering before making your decision.

B

No upfront planning costs for you

If we agree to proceed, Commercial 2 Residential takes on the agreed costs of pursuing planning rather than asking you to fund the process yourself.

C

We take the planning risk

Planning isn't guaranteed. That's why many owners don't want to invest their own capital pursuing an uncertain outcome. Under our agreed arrangement, that risk sits with us.

D

A clear route to a buyer

We're not simply looking to secure planning and leave you wondering what happens next. Our objective is to purchase the property once the required planning permission has been secured, subject to the terms agreed with you.

E

UK-wide

We consider commercial properties throughout the UK.
