A warehouse can look suitable on floor area and still fall short on loading, height, power or yard access. RWC Christchurch markets industrial property for sale and lease, including warehouses, office and showroom combinations, and premises with yard space.
Describe what arrives, how it is handled, where it is stored and how it leaves. Check delivery vehicles, turning space, loading arrangements, roller-door dimensions and whether access is shared. An inspection should follow the route a vehicle or product would actually take through the site.
Separate warehouse, office, showroom, mezzanine, canopy and yard areas. A combined figure can hide a layout that does not suit the operation. Ask for clear-span height, column positions, floor-loading information and the dimensions that matter for your racking, machinery or stock.
Identify power, drainage, water, ventilation, extraction, fire protection and any specialist requirements early. Confirm technical capacity with the relevant adviser rather than assuming an existing connection is sufficient. Ask about permitted use, operating hours, signage, noise, heavy vehicles and proposed alterations.
A former use does not automatically approve your activity. Food preparation, manufacturing and other specialised operations may need further building, planning or licensing checks. Review the relevant property information and proposed lease with your own advisers before committing.
Ask which areas the rental quotation covers and whether yard, canopy, parking or shared space is charged separately. Record outgoings, GST, maintenance responsibilities, security, fit-out and reinstatement alongside the term and rent reviews. Our leasing costs guide helps put different quotations on a comparable basis.
For owners seeking a tenant or buyer, useful campaign information includes an area schedule, plans, access and loading details, available services, photographs and the relevant building documents. Be clear about what is included and what needs further investigation. Existing tenancy information and vacant possession arrangements should agree across the advertisement and supporting documents.
Request a lease appraisal or discuss selling your industrial property. Investors and owner-occupiers can use our commercial buying checklist to organise their enquiries.
