Selling an industrial property is not the same as selling a house, and the owners who treat it that way usually leave money on the table. If you own a warehouse or factory anywhere across Melbourne's western corridor, this guide walks through how to sell it well.
The difference between a good sale and a great one is rarely the property. It is the preparation, the timing, and who you put it in front of.
Start with a number you can trust
Before you talk to anyone about a campaign, you need a real figure. Not a portal estimate, and not what your neighbour says they got. A proper appraisal looks at recent sales and leases of comparable industrial space, your building and land, the zoning and the current level of buyer demand. Getting this right at the start sets the ceiling for everything that follows.
Sale or lease: which suits your position
Time the campaign to the market
Industrial demand moves in cycles. The number of active buyers, the cost of finance and the amount of competing stock all affect what you will achieve. Launching when buyers are hungry and stock is tight is worth far more than rushing to market at the wrong moment.
A great property launched at the wrong time still sells for less than it should. Timing is not a detail, it is part of the price.
