How do banks value the property?
- Its location- this is because workshops located in metro areas or even major regional areas tend to be viewed favourably as they are more likely to attract more customers.
- What is also relevant is whether it is a standard workshop or a purpose-built workshop; where they are purpose built to carry out specific functions they aren’t usually easily altered or restructured for other uses, therefore renting them out or reselling them may be more difficult. As they also require specific valuations and environmental reports banks are particularly cautious as to whether any chemicals stored have been done correctly. These reports can also be extremely costly, so banks may require you to have larger deposits when considering taking on the loan.
- These properties are usually industrial type properties, either being designated light or heavy industrial.
- Banks will want to see that you have tenants who are willing to sign a long term lease, where you are buying the workshop as a freehold property.
