Warehouse for Sale: Everything You Need to Know About Buying a Warehouse

Why buy a warehouse?

Buying a warehouse is a solution that offers many advantages, particularly for companies in full development. Equipping yourself with a dedicated storage and logistics location allows you, among other things, greater freedom. Moreover, this alternative offers you:

• a long-term vision for your budget: you are the owner and do not have to pay rent that is likely to increase;
• greater autonomy and flexibility: you can arrange the warehouse as you wish, according to your needs;
• greater security: you protect yourself against the risks of eviction during operation.

Good to know

There are different types of warehouses: logistics warehouse, storage warehouse, cold storage warehouse, production warehouse, workshop warehouse, etc.

What documents are needed to buy a warehouse?

Like any real estate acquisition, buying a warehouse is subject to particular procedures. You will thus need to provide certain documents, whether during the purchase offer, sales agreement and deed. These include, among others:

• proof of identity of the company;
• the BCE extract;
• documents related to financing;
• etc.

Note, however, that it is possible to buy the warehouse in the name of a real estate company, and not in the name of the operating company. In this case, this allows you to distribute the risk and play between companies with rents, works and others.

How to estimate the value of a warehouse?

Many parameters come into account when estimating the value of a warehouse.

• the general condition of the warehouse: new properties, equipped with the latest standards and excellent quality materials and equipment are necessarily more expensive.
• location: the location of the warehouse is a very important factor. The closer it is to or in an industrial zone, and the more easily accessible it is from main roads, the more likely it is to be valued at a high price;
• the type of property: the price of a warehouse varies according to its type (type of construction, materials, heights, equipment, surroundings, etc.)
• surface area and configuration: the larger the surface area, the higher the total value will be
