Frequently asked questions
Commercial properties
How does buying a commercial property differ from buying a home?
Taxes: new commercial units pay 21% VAT (homes 10%); resale via Transfer Tax without homebuyer reductions. Use: specific activity licenses and codes. Financing: banks often lend less and for shorter terms.
Do I need a company to buy a commercial property?
Not mandatory: you can buy as a private individual. Still, many buyers prefer an S.L. company for tax efficiency and liability protection.
What should I verify before buying a commercial unit?
Registry/zoning status (nota simple, permitted use), activity licenses, any existing lease, community fees, and the technical condition of installations.
