Blue Chip Commercial Property For Sale London

Why Investing in Blue Chip Commercial Property for Sale in London is a smart choice for your money

There are many different strategies for investing in commercial property and while a brave few may want to hedge their bets with high-risk investment for the potential of high returns, in this somewhat unstable post-Brexit world, most people are looking for security. And, as far as security goes, blue chip tenanted property is a great choice for an investment with consistently solid returns.

logo of allNo doubt you already have an understanding of the term “blue chip” pertaining to stable, well-established companies with solid finances who sell products or services that are generally in demand, even during tough economic times. Interestingly, the term itself is derived from gambling where the blue chip is considered to have the highest value. When talking about blue chip commercial property for sale in London, we are referring to the quality of the tenants within it as these are who make the property a blue chip investment. Unlike residential property where the tenants don’t add value to the home, commercial property becomes a more solid investment when leased long-term to a blue chip client.

These sought-after tenants come in the form of high quality national companies that have stable growth with little upheaval, despite market downturns. Usually this is due to them supplying or servicing an industry that is always in demand like supermarket chains such as Tesco or Sainsbury’s, banks like Barclays or pubs and food chains like Wetherspoons.

For investors looking at commercial property for sale in London, these types of properties are alluring as they can yield solid returns for many years, without the volatility of other investments. The benefits are easy to see: they’re renowned for paying rent on time and in full and also complying with lease terms, which means your investment nets regular, reliable returns.

“Any commercial property investor, especially those moving away from residential property, should consider a blue-chip investment for their initial investments,” says Prideview’s Nilesh Patel, ACA. “Blue-chip occupiers have established businesses, the scale to succeed in an increasingly competitive retail landscape and pay their rent on time,” he says.

But, as Nilesh says, clearly the Prideview team wouldn’t just recommend any investment. “The property itself matters; its immediate location, its suitability for the business in question and also its alternative uses should that tenant vacate at the end of their lease.”
