- Separate essential requirements from preferences.
Compare the details
Look beyond the listing photos and asking price.

- Identify questions for lenders, inspectors and other advisers.
Move forward with a plan
Keep the offer and investigation process organized.
- Discuss offer terms and conditions.

- Stay in communication through the steps toward completion.
A useful perspective
Buying for your business or for income?
An owner-occupier may prioritize access, layout and room to grow. An investor may focus on tenancy, expenses and future leasing potential. Tell us which objective matters most so we can shape the search around it.
Good questions. Clear next steps.
Before your next move.
What should I prepare before searching?
Bring your preferred areas, approximate budget, target size and timeline. If you are buying for your business, include your intended use, parking, loading and power requirements.
What does due diligence mean?
It is the investigation of a property before you commit on the agreed terms. The questions may cover condition, permitted use, tenancy, financing and other matters specific to the property. Your professional advisers help determine the appropriate checks.
Can a property suit my business but still need work?
Yes. Layout, equipment, accessibility and fit-out requirements deserve attention early. We help identify questions for the appropriate specialists so you can consider the space alongside the work it may require.

A useful perspective
The strongest offer is about more than price.
Timing, conditions and the proposed path to completion can matter alongside the offer amount. We help you compare the whole proposal against what you want to achieve.
Good questions. Clear next steps.
Before your next move.
What information should I have ready?
Start with the property address, size, current use, occupancy and your ideal timing. For an income property, available leases, rent information and operating expenses can help buyers understand the opportunity.
Should I make improvements before selling?
Start with a conversation before committing to work. The right preparation depends on the property, likely buyers and your budget. We can discuss presentation priorities and where specialist advice may be useful.
How will we decide on an asking price?
We discuss comparable market activity, property characteristics, tenancy and your objectives. Asking prices are only one part of the picture; the strategy should also consider relevant completed transactions and current competition.
Investment & Development · Commercial Real Estate
See the opportunity. Understand the questions.

Investment properties

A useful perspective
Potential is a starting point, not an approval.

Good questions. Clear next steps.
Before your next move.
What is useful to share at the first meeting?
Tell us your preferred locations, property types, approximate budget, timeline and intended role. Let us know whether you are seeking existing income, space for a business or a development opportunity.
Why look closely at the tenancy?
Lease terms, renewal dates, occupancy and operating responsibilities help explain how an income property functions. We help organize the available information and questions for your review.
Can you help after identifying a site?
We can discuss project coordination, market positioning and sales or leasing support. The scope is agreed around your project, working alongside your planning, legal, financial and technical advisers.

Your property
The details provide the starting point.

- Access, parking and other notable features.
The market
Context helps explain the opportunity.

- Discuss timing and presentation priorities.
- Identify further documents or specialist input needed.
A useful perspective
Useful information makes for a better conversation.
An address is a good start. Floor plans, available leases, income and expense records, and details of recent improvements can help us understand the property more fully. Share what you have; we can discuss what else would be useful.
Good questions. Clear next steps.
Before your next move.
What should I submit?
Provide the property address, current use, approximate size and whether you are considering selling or leasing. Add your timeline and any other details you would like us to consider.
Is this a formal appraisal?
This is an initial market-position discussion with our real estate team. If you need a formal appraisal for a lender, tax matter or another specific purpose, tell us so that the appropriate professional can be involved.
Can we discuss a property that is currently leased?
Yes. Let us know its occupancy and the documents available. Tenancy details can be relevant to a sale or leasing strategy. Avoid sending confidential tenant information through the initial enquiry form.

A space that fits your business.
Start with your location, size, budget and timing. We help narrow the search and compare spaces against how your business operates.

- Coordinate tours and compare occupancy costs.
- Discuss access, permitted use and fit-out needs.

Tell us what you need →For Landlords
Give your property a clear position.
A leasing strategy starts with the space and the tenants it can serve. We help present your property's strengths and manage the path from inquiry to agreement.
- Review the property, asking terms and target tenants.
- Prepare a focused listing and marketing approach.
- Coordinate inquiries, tours and prospective tenant information.
- Support lease negotiations and communication through the process.
Discuss your property →Did you know?
The asking rent is only part of the picture.
Two spaces with the same base rent can have different total costs. Ask what is included, which expenses are additional, and how costs may change during the term. Fit-out, moving and utilities also belong in your budget.
Leasing, explained
A few terms worth knowing.
Base rent & additional rent
Base rent is the charge for occupying the space. Additional rent covers other costs assigned to you by the lease, which may include property taxes, insurance and shared maintenance. Check exactly what is included.
Triple net (NNN)
A lease structure where the tenant typically pays base rent plus a share of property taxes, insurance and operating or maintenance costs. The lease defines the actual responsibilities.
Tenant improvements
Changes that adapt a space for your business. A landlord may negotiate a contribution toward the work; confirm the amount, approvals, payment conditions and who owns the improvements.
Renewal options
An option may allow you to extend the lease under specified conditions. Notice deadlines and the method for setting the new rent matter—renewal is not automatic.
General information only. Your lease wording determines your obligations; review it with your legal adviser before signing.

Industrial space in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley: what to compare before you tour
The right industrial property should fit the way your business works. Before comparing warehouses in Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, Langley or Abbotsford, write down what must happen inside—and outside—the building each day.
Start with the delivery route
Map a typical trip from your suppliers to the property and onward to your customers. Test the route at the times your drivers actually travel. A location that looks convenient on a regional map may involve bridge crossings, difficult turns or delivery restrictions that matter to your operation.
On a viewing, check how trucks enter, turn, load and leave. Ask whether the loading area is shared, whether deliveries need to be scheduled and where vehicles can wait without blocking another business.
Look beyond the floor area
A warehouse’s advertised size tells only part of the story. Compare clear height, loading-door dimensions, electrical service, usable storage space and the proportion devoted to offices. Bring equipment measurements and ask a qualified specialist to confirm whether the building can support your intended operation.
For a strata unit, ask for the relevant bylaws and rules. Investigate restrictions affecting deliveries, noise, parking and outdoor storage before relying on a space for those activities.
Check the intended use early
An industrial listing category does not establish that every industrial activity is allowed. Confirm your specific operation with the municipality. Surrey’s online services include COSMOS property and zoning information. In Abbotsford, the property information search provides development information, including zoning. Use these as starting points for property-specific questions.
Make your shortlist practical
Send us your preferred areas, required floor area, loading needs, equipment requirements and target occupancy date. Leung Real Estate Group can help focus your search across Vancouver, the Lower Mainland and the Fraser Valley.
