PROPERTYSPECIALS is an online property marketing portal advertising commercial and industrial property to let or for sale and has been in existence since 2000. Colin Jardine is the principal member offering internet property advertising, sourcing and broking services. The site provides free listings for commercial and industrial property located in the main business nodes west of Linbro Park which includes the important transportation corridors of Main Reef road, Ontdekkers, Hendrik Potgieter, Christiaan de Wet, Beyers Naude, William Nicol, Witkoppen road and Malibongwe drive from Strijdom Park through Kya Sands to the N14 and beyond to Lanseria International airport.
Propertyspecials sources it's stock from both private and institutional landlords who are generally responsible for payment of it's broking fees. When provided with a sole mandate to source property for a buyer or tenant, we will fix our fees at 2.5% on purchases and 2 month's rental on leases thus removing any bias towards the landlord and ensuring that our clients interests are kept in the forefront of all negotiations.(T&C apply)
Colin Jardine has been in the property industry since 1975 and has gained much experience in construction and property management which can be of considerable benefit to a buyer or investor. Quite often a buyer will overlook the need to factor in replacement costs because of a poorly executed inspection of the property. This could typically result in higher operating costs arising out of unplanned maintenance expenditure. Understanding property valuations and the basis for their assumptions is vitally important in order to advise on a fair market price for commercial and industrial property.
My advice to buyers is to get a preliminary inspection report on a targeted property before committing to a purchase offer. Where concern is subsequently highlighted, the potential problem area can be brought to the table for discussion and appropriate decisions can then be taken. Buyers are more familiar with the need to conduct due diligence on the legal and financial aspects of the transaction but less so with the technical integrity of the building structure and it's services.
Property Specials is well able to facilitate this process and accordingly offers a broking service that better meets the needs of it's clients by providing a preliminary inspection report when mandated to source property.
