What Is Different About Commercial

Value is tied to income. Buyers look at net operating income and cap rate, not just comparable sales.
Zoning decides use. Confirm with the City of Markham that your intended business is permitted.
Leases transfer. Existing tenants, rent terms and renewal options come with the property.
Financing is different. Larger down payments and different lender criteria are common.
HST may apply. Commercial sales can carry HST. Speak with your accountant and lawyer.

How the Team Helps

Questions Clients Ask

What is a good cap rate for commercial property in Markham?

It depends on property type, tenant quality and lease length. Stable, well-leased properties usually trade at lower cap rates than riskier ones. Compare recent sales of similar properties.

Is HST charged on commercial property in Ontario?

Often, yes. Commercial real estate sales can be subject to HST, with rules that depend on the buyer and the property. Confirm with your accountant and lawyer before you sign.

Should my business buy or lease its space?

Buying can build equity and stabilize costs; leasing keeps capital free and adds flexibility. The right choice depends on your cash flow, growth plans and how long you will stay.
