If you are looking to approach shop buyers today, as you want or need to sell your shop, then you must be mindful that we are currently in the middle of the worst commercial property crisis this country has seen for nearly 100 years. Shop buyers today are very careful what they buy and are determined to drive prices down as much as possible. Therefore, when approaching shop buyers, you must be prepared for them to make you offers which you may at first think are too low but which over time you may come to realize are fair.

Some shoppers are simply looking for cheap deals which they can buy and then sell on for a quick profit whereas other shop buyers are looking to invest in the long-term. Be careful who you approach and make sure to ask them to tell you about their experience, qualifications and the type of shops they have recently bought so you know the shop buyers you are dealing with are a proper outfit.
