EMPTY PROPERTY RATES RELIEF

The commercial tenants and landlords we deal with include, but are not limited to: blue-chip corporations, PLC’s, SMEs and micro-enterprises.

We work alongside insurance companies looking to find temporary premises for their client in the case of flood, fire or building damage.

Premises can range from industrial units to distribution centres, offices, retail premises, film shoot locations to venues for one-off public: entertainment, sport, music, and leisure events.

Sterling (UK) Associates assists commercial landlords by putting them in a position to generate extra revenue and reduce holding costs from property that would otherwise remain empty for extended periods of time, incurring unnecessary commercial rates charges.

Holding an empty property while finding tenants for long-term leases can prove to be a drain on resources. We can assist in bridging the gap by helping you access an increasingly lucrative revenue stream, which is fed by the growth in seasonal and periodical business objectives, and the film, television and event industries’ need for one-off locations.

We connect commercial landlords into these alternative revenue streams by paring them with prospective tenants looking for short-term leases. Because we work exclusively in the short-term letting market, we will find a business to temporarily rent your premises while you continue to seek a long-term tenant.

Further to this, once a business is installed in your premises, if it does well in the short-term, the tenant may decide to take up the let for a longer term! So rather than your premises sitting empty, why not allow us to introduce a business to your premises on a short-term basis, with the option for them to stay onboard with you for a longer term if they want to?

For established corporations, private companies, firms, and sole traders who want to expand their existing businesses, but are reluctant to take on a long-term lease in order to test the market, Sterling (UK) Associates is the solution. We can negotiate short-term leases on your behalf, complete with all the options which will enable you to take on a longer term lease if all goes according to plan.

Or maybe the business you run has seasonal, periodical or one-off obligations for commercial premises. Sterling (UK) Associates has the resources and expertise to find you a location and property which is the perfect match for your exact needs.

When starting a business, chances are you will want to take on as little financial risk and commitment as possible. This is where Sterling (UK) Associates can help. We can match your new enterprise with suitable premises available for short-term lease. Rather than requiring you to make a long-term commitment for your business’ future, we can help you secure extremely desirable terms on a property you rent over a short period, with the option of extending the arrangement to suit a long-term tenancy.
