Investors focus on Commercial Properties to buy and rent
Commercial property is increasingly appealing to investors shifting their sights from the residential world to shops, restaurants, offices and industrial and storage units to rent.
Experts say the growth in landlords moving from housing to commercial has almost tripled in the last three years.
With this growth and rising number of new commercial landlords, Boxpod meets the demand for a truly dedicated commercial property portfolio (no houses on our site) offering a sensible and affordable advertising solution – linking commercial property owners with potential tenants and buyers.
MD Nick Marlow says: “With the reports of a real shift on the emphasis of people investing in the commercial property markets as opposed to housing, we are witnessing a new wave of buy-to-let landlords looking at shops, offices, workshops, and industrial and storage units to rent.
“Boxpod is a property portal which only lists commercial properties throughout the UK. There is a range of options for commercial customers to advertise their commercial property to rent or sell. All are affordable and we have introduced a new self-administration aspect for customers so they can upload details and photos of their available units and remain in control of their own advertising, safe in the knowledge we are just at the end of a phone if necessary.”
Having founded Boxpod as there was no affordable site to advertise his own commercial units, Nick adds: “Boxpod is here if you want to list one office, five properties or one hundred plus units. There are no hefty joining fees and we stand by our original purpose which is to offer commercial property landlords – private and corporate – an affordable and sensible portal to advertise their workshops, shops, restaurants, industrial and storage units to rent. Tenants and businesses search our site safe in the knowledge they will only see commercial properties on the market. The easy postcode search box makes it a quick way to see what’s available.”
