- Blog - Ten Reasons | BUPE
Ten Reasons to invest in Commercial Property Auckland, New Zealand. JULY 2024 In this latest blog, we look at ten reasons why investing in commercial property makes sense, and how you can maximise returns depending on your investment goals. From tax benefits to the structure of the lease agreement, click below to learn more about how BUPE can support you. Before the recent changes to tax, and the ability to claim interest against your income, investors have often looked to commercial property for several valid reasons. Depending on the motivation behind the desire to invest in commercial property, it can often be a very good way to diversify your portfolio. Bayleys has an experienced team of Commercial Property Managers and currently manages properties for investors throughout New Zealand. Whether you are a seasoned investor or someone looking to explore your options – contact our team below for a no-obligation consultation. Here are some of the reasons why you should consider investing in commercial property. Cash Flow & Yields are Higher – Commercial property often yields far greater cash flow than term deposits in the bank and the residential property market. Many long-term investors have often looked to diversify their residential investment portfolios with commercial properties. The Residential Tenancy Act has made it trickier for landlords. Investors are increasingly moving their funds into some of those lower-value commercial investments as a starting point. You can pick one up for $500,000 and still get a $30,000 return. We are starting to see a big shift in that happening. Leases can increase the Value – Without changing anything to the property, you can increase the value of a commercial asset by negotiating a good lease. This means you can buy an empty building, get it tenanted (which can potentially double the value of the building), sell the building and pay no tax on the capital gain. An experienced property manager will negotiate terms for their owners that see fair leases set up to lock in income for often decades. As always, seek financial and tax advice from a registered advisor before moving forward. Exempt for Tax Reforms – Unlike the residential market, commercial investment properties did not fall within the recent changes across the residential sector. This includes the extended Brightline test and also the mortgage interest. Furthermore, if applicable to the owner, management fees are 100% tax-deductible. Structuring the Outgoings – With commercial investment properties, the OPEX costs can be structured so that the tenant or tenants pay for most of the outgoings as part of the lease. This can include rates, building WOFs and management fees, to name but a few. Like every other commercial venture, you can claim expenses back, including interest. Also, you have depreciation, which can allow you to deduct a portion of your property's value from your taxable income each year. For many investors, this reduces the total tax burden quite significantly. The depreciation rules need to be discussed with your tax advisor. Post-Covid – Right across provincial New Zealand, we are seeing countless examples of businesses relocating the regions because the residential property is cheaper for their workforce as well. One of the critical sectors any investor should consider before purchasing is the local employment opportunities. As this trend continues, the opportunities for commercial and residential properties continue to grow. Options to enter the Commercial Sector - Another trend on the upswing over the last ten years has been significant growth in the syndication market. People get the benefit of only putting $50,000 or $100,000 into a property, and a professional property manager is engaged to manage it. The rental returns can often be in the range of 5% to 7.5% return, and the entire process can be an excellent way to learn more about the industry. Tenant Responsibilities – At times, tenants' circumstances change, and they may need to move their business. Within the commercial sector, if a lease is in place, the owner has a greater assurance that rent will continue to come in as it becomes the tenant's responsibility to sub-lease the property. Any business that sub-leases a property is subject to the same terms and conditions as the original lease. Business Relationships - Since you're working with business owners, their reputations are essential to protect, and they look at the interaction with the owner and property management through a different lens. This typically results in a more careful and diligent approach with day-to-day interaction and following the rules. It is uncommon for a commercial tenant to leave a property or lease to bad terms as the implications can be significant. Selling can be easier - When you sell a commercial property, the cosmetic attributes of the asset, such as the colour of the drapes, are not a factor. Commercial Property Investment is an unemotional transaction. The value is in the lease, and the sale process is much more straightforward. More flexibility in negotiating the terms of the lease - A significant advantage to commercial property investments is that negotiating the terms of a lease can be more satisfying if you know what you are doing or use a good commercial property manager. There are fewer regulations. The residential property owner's ability to negotiate is set down in the Residential Tenancies Act. The same is not valid with commercial properties, giving the savvy owner/ manager a huge advantage and a better position in bargaining power when negotiating a lease.

Specified Systems: Automatic systems for fire suppression (Example: sprinkler systems) Automatic or manual emergency warning systems for fire or other dangers. Electromagnetic or automatic doors or windows (for example, ones that close on fire alarm activation) Emergency lighting systems. Escape route pressurization systems. Riser mains for use by fire services. Automatic backflow preventers connected to a potable water supply. Lifts, escalators, travelators, or other systems for moving people or goods within building. Mechanical ventilation or air conditioning systems. (Example: ducted ventilation or air conditioning units, toilet extract system servicing multiple facilities, split air conditioning that presents fresh air into the building, air-handling system that sustains differential air pressure or function in smoke management, electric heating elements in air handling or ducts outside) Building maintenance units providing access to exterior and interior walls of buildings. Laboratory fume cupboards Audio loops or other assistive listening systems. Smoke control systems. Fire safety systems or features for communicating information intended to facilitate evacuation, final exits, fire separations, signs, smoke separation. How to get a compliance schedule? New Buildings: An application should be made as part of the Building Consent application. The local council will issue the compliance schedule to the building owner with the code compliance certificate. Existing Buildings: The building owner must apply to the local council. The building owner will be required to supply the same information about the specified system as if they were being installed under a building consent. Details required: Details of the system, design features, proposed procedures for inspection, maintenance and reporting. Are there Exceptions? Some older buildings that have not previously had specified systems installed may not require a building WOF. If you renovate these buildings or tenancies within the building the building consent will likely trigger the need for a new compliance schedule which will also mean you will need a BWOF after the renovation has been completed. If you are not sure, it is always a good idea to check either with your local council or a building compliance company.

Latest market update from commercial property across Auckland, New Zealand. Auckland Market Update Auckland, New Zealand. SEPTEMBER 2024 In this latest blog, we look at six market trends we are seeing across Auckland from occupancy through to technology and innovation. Also covered are sector specific insights and commentary from industrial, office and retail. Auckland Market Update As of late 2024, the commercial property management market in New Zealand has been experiencing a range of developments influenced by broader economic trends and sector-specific factors. Market Trends Occupancy Rates: Persistently low levels of vacancies led to strong rental growth over recent years. Conditions appear to be changing in some regions with a recent rise in sublease opportunities providing greater choice for occupiers. Rental Yields and Prices: Low vacancy levels on quality space mean rents will continue to rise even though this is at a slower pace comparing to the recent years. Signals that inflation and long-term interest rates are peaking means yields are likely to stabilise after a period of softening. Investment Trends: Investment in commercial real estate has been cautious, with investors focusing more on sectors with perceived stability and growth potential. Industrial properties have been a favoured sector due to their resilience and increasing relevance in the logistics and e-commerce boom. Economic Factors: Economic conditions, including interest rates and inflation, have impacted commercial property management. Rising interest rates have increased borrowing costs, affecting both property valuations and investment decisions. Inflation has also influenced operational costs for property management, such as maintenance and utilities. Government Policies and Regulations: Regulatory changes and government policies continue to shape the commercial property landscape. There has been ongoing discussion around sustainability and energy efficiency regulations, which are becoming increasingly important in property management and development. Technology and Innovation: The use of technology in commercial property management is on the rise. Innovations in property management software, data analytics, and smart building technologies are helping property managers improve efficiency, enhance tenant experiences, and manage operational costs. Sector-Specific Insights Office Sector: The shift towards remote and hybrid working models has led to a reassessment of office space needs. Many businesses are downsizing or reconfiguring their office spaces, impacting demand and rental rates. Retail Sector: The retail sector has faced challenges from the growth of e-commerce and changing consumer preferences. High street retail properties are under pressure, while retail spaces in high-traffic areas or those catering to essential services remain resilient. Industrial Sector: Industrial properties, especially those related to warehousing, distribution, and logistics, remain strong. The growth of online retail and supply chain demands has driven sustained interest and investment in this sector.
