Office and commercial space

We will not give you a headline number, because it varies enormously by building and occupancy. We will give you the verified rent and the maintenance cost on the specific unit so you can compute it yourself.

Yes, on both sides: finding the space and negotiating the lease terms. Leasing is charged at 1 per cent, and like everything else it moves with the deal and is agreed in writing before we act

Different instruments. Commercial pays you rent and needs management. A plot pays nothing and needs nothing. Which is right depends on whether you want income now or capital appreciation later.

Five things, in order: the verified current rent from an actual lease deed rather than an indicative figure, occupancy across the whole building, the maintenance charge per sqft, the title along with the occupancy and completion certificates, and whether any assured-return promise is backed by more than a developer balance sheet. Everything else is decoration.

Because it is a warning about your own exit. A single let unit in an empty building has one tenant and no comparable demand behind it. When that tenant leaves, or when you want to sell, you discover what the building is really worth.

More than buyers model. It is charged per sqft and it comes off the gross yield every month, whether the unit is let or not. Get the actual figure for the specific building in writing and net it off before you compare the yield to anything else.

It is the certification that the building may lawfully be occupied. Without it you are buying a unit that is not cleared for use, which affects your tenant, your lender and your resale. Ask for it, along with the completion certificate, before you commit.

Assured-return commercial has a long history in this district of not delivering what it assured. When the payment stops, the buyer discovers the promise sat with a company rather than with the asset. Buy commercial on the rent it earns today. If the rent only works with the assured return added, it does not work.

Entry prices are lower and the occupier base around the institutional and industrial belt is growing, so yields look better on paper. That is exactly why the occupancy check matters more there. Noida has real occupier demand and real comparable rents, and you pay for both.

Lock-in, escalation and exit. Over a five-year term those three clauses cost more than the rent does. Beyond them, check power backup, floor plate efficiency and whether the space fits your headcount at the growth rate you are actually planning for.

Lenders do fund commercial purchases, and the terms differ from a home loan: shorter tenure, lower loan-to-value and heavier scrutiny of the tenant and the lease. Take the specific unit to a lender early, because what they will fund often reshapes what you should be looking at.
