Buyer's Guide — Retail Real Estate

🔍 Due Diligence

Always verify title deeds, encumbrances, zoning, and utility connections before committing. Engage a local lawyer and independent valuer.

🌍 Foreign Ownership

Ownership rules vary significantly by country. Leasehold, company structures, or special investment zones may apply. Confirm with local legal counsel.

💰 Financing

Foreign buyers typically access 50–70% LTV. Local currency mortgages reduce FX risk. Compare rates across banks using our Mortgage Calculator.

📊 Rental Yield

Gross yield = annual rent ÷ purchase price × 100. Net yield deducts management fees, taxes, maintenance. Check our Yield Calculator for estimates.

🏦 Taxes & Costs

Budget 3–8% on top of purchase price for transfer taxes, legal fees, stamp duty, and agent commission. Annual property taxes apply in most countries.

📋 Exit Strategy

Plan your exit before you buy. Liquidity varies by type, location, and market cycle. Retail properties typically take 3–18 months to sell depending on pricing and location.

Frequently Asked Questions — Retail

Some retail leases include a base rent plus a percentage of the tenant's turnover. This aligns landlord and tenant interests.

Experiential retail (F&B, leisure, healthcare) is outperforming. Pure product retail in weak locations faces structural headwinds.
