Commercial Property Viewings
Accompanied viewings for offices, retail units and industrial space — with the practical details business tenants ask about captured before the first appointment, so questions get answered in the room instead of stalling the deal.
Why the brief matters
Commercial viewings are won on answers
A residential applicant buys a feeling; a commercial applicant buys answers. Within ten minutes of walking an office, a shop or a warehouse, a serious business tenant will ask about access hours, loading, three-phase power, broadband options, parking allocation and what the service charge actually covers. Every "we'll have to check" cools the room — and a viewing that generates a list of unanswered questions usually generates a follow-up email that never gets a reply.
That's why our commercial viewing service starts before the viewing. We capture a brief from you first: access arrangements, floor areas, loading and yard space, power supply, connectivity, service charge basics and anything known about permitted use. Whoever shows the unit walks in already carrying the answers, which is the difference between a viewing that converts and one that stalls.
Scheduling is the other half of the discipline. Commercial viewings usually happen inside somebody's working day — an occupier still trading, a shared building with security procedures, a warehouse with vehicle movements. We arrange appointments around those realities, confirm attendance with every applicant beforehand, and group viewings sensibly, so a unit isn't opened up four separate times in a week when one well-planned afternoon would have covered everyone.
Worth checking before marketing: commercial premises need a valid commercial EPC before being advertised for sale or let, and lease negotiations move faster when compliance paperwork — such as a commercial EICR — is already in order.

How it runs
Scheduled around real businesses
Brief and schedule
We take the unit brief, then build a viewing schedule that respects the people already using the building — around occupiers, trading hours and quiet windows, evenings and weekends included where they suit applicants better.
Show the unit properly
Applicants are confirmed beforehand, met punctually and walked through the space with the brief's answers to hand — access, loading, power, connectivity and service charges dealt with in the room, not deferred.
Consolidated feedback
Instead of scattered updates, you receive feedback consolidated across applicants: recurring objections, comparisons applicants volunteer, and where interest is strong enough to push. Patterns tell you more than any single viewing can.
Marketing the unit to a wider audience? A 360° virtual tour lets prospective tenants assess the space before travelling, and a livestream viewing works well for multi-site operators shortlisting units from head office. Ask for a combined quote via the contact page.
Common questions
Commercial viewing questions, answered
How much does the commercial viewing service cost?
It depends on the unit's location, the number of viewings and any scheduling constraints such as trading hours or occupier access. Send the address and what you need by WhatsApp or the quote form and we'll reply with a fixed quote.
What do you need from us before the first viewing?
A short brief: access arrangements, floor areas, loading and parking, power supply, connectivity, service charge basics and anything known about permitted use. Ten minutes of your time up front is what lets every applicant question get answered in the room.
Can you show units that are still occupied or trading?
Yes — occupied premises are normal in commercial lettings. We schedule around the occupier's trading hours, agree quiet windows in advance and conduct viewings discreetly so business carries on around us.
Do you provide feedback after commercial viewings?
Yes — feedback is consolidated across all applicants rather than drip-fed viewing by viewing, so you can see patterns: which objections recur, what applicants compare the unit against, and where interest is genuinely strong.
Which types of commercial property do you cover?
Offices, retail units and industrial or warehouse space are the core of the service. If your property sits outside those categories, send the details anyway — if we can brief it properly, we can usually show it.
