What matters in Langenbek
Sell commercial property: preparation for the specific location and property.
Separate the property from the operating activity
Where you occupy the rooms for your own business, clarify whether only the property or equipment is also offered. List reception fittings, appliances and movable contents separately. Buying the rooms does not automatically transfer your customers or operating arrangements. For rented premises, explain the existing tenancy instead, including the precise scope agreed with the current occupier.
Investigate access from the future user's perspective
Show the route from street or parking to the entrance, checking thresholds, doors and internal circulation. For a practice, this arrangement may matter differently than for an office without regular visitors. Ask buyers to identify their needs specifically. A short distance on a map does not replace inspection of the actual route users must negotiate to reach the premises.
Explain building connections before alterations
Where premises share a building with homes, pipework, façades and common entrances may involve other parties. Assemble records of existing use and previous alterations. Set the buyer's proposed changes beside them, such as additional water connections or revised room divisions. A technically possible change should not be presented as an intervention in shared areas that has already been agreed.
Define handover and the usable condition
Establish which fittings remain and which are to be removed. Check ownership and existing reinstatement arrangements. An empty shop or office can differ from its first-viewing condition after operating equipment is taken out. Show that difference early and coordinate the handover date with the tenancy or the winding down of your own activity at the premises.
