Selling a commercial property in Tilburg

Selling a commercial property in Tilburg can be done in three ways: via a commercial property agent on the open market, privately to the sitting tenant or user, or directly to a fixed buyer such as Pandverkoop.nl. Through the open market, a sale in Tilburg usually takes months and you pay commission; with a direct sale, you receive an offer within 24 hours and usually complete at the notary within a few weeks. We purchase in Tilburg and the surrounding area with our own funds, without financing contingencies.

The commercial real estate market in Tilburg

In Tilburg, location and the marketability of the property primarily determine how quickly it is sold: easily accessible real estate on an established business park sells faster than outdated or non-marketable real estate on the edge of the market.

Tilburg is one of the most important logistics hubs in the southern Netherlands, with Vossenberg as its engine and good access via the A58, A65 and rail. Consequently, demand for industrial halls, cross-dock and storage space is broad, including the smaller sizes that are interesting for regional entrepreneurs.

In the city centre, the core shopping area has densified, causing feeder streets such as parts of Korvel and Besterd to move more towards housing, services, and hospitality. Houses in multiple occupation (HMOs) are in demand in Tilburg due to Tilburg University, Fontys, and Avans, but municipal rules regarding room rentals and housing formation require attention during sale.

Our working area around Tilburg includes Goirle, Oisterwijk, Waalwijk, Loon op Zand, Dongen, Gilze en Rijen. Is your property just outside these places? We will still consider it – Central Brabant and the logistics axis towards Waalwijk fall within our purchasing area.

What is my commercial property in Tilburg worth?

The value of commercial real estate follows from the rental flow and the yield that buyers demand: annual rent divided by the gross initial yield (BAR). With €60,000 annual rent and a required yield of 8%, you arrive at approximately €750,000; if a buyer demands a 9.5% yield, the same property drops to approximately €632,000.

For a vacant property that you use yourself, buyers calculate with the market rent that the property in Tilburg could yield, minus the costs to make it lettable again. Overdue maintenance, a low energy label and a short remaining lease term depress the price; a long lease agreement with a solid tenant pushes it up.

  • Location and accessibility (arterial roads, parking, loading and unloading)
  • Rental income, remaining term and quality of the tenant
  • Year of construction, maintenance status, roof, installations and asbestos
  • Energy label and the sustainability task (offices at least label C)
  • Zoning in the environmental plan and the possibilities for rezoning
  • Surface area, clear height, plot depth, and expansion space

Sales routes compared for sellers in Tilburg

Selling directly provides speed and certainty; a commercial estate agent provides maximum exposure but costs commission and time. Which route yields more net depends on how marketable your property is and how much of a hurry you are in.

Only the deed of delivery at the notary is legally required. Engaging an estate agent is not – you may sell your commercial property in the Netherlands directly to a buyer.

Frequently asked questions

Do you also buy logistics real estate in Tilburg?

Yes, provided it concerns existing industrial units and storage space that fit our portfolio. Large new-build distribution centres usually fall outside this; industrial units up to several thousand square metres do not.

I rent out rooms in Tilburg. Can I sell with tenants in situ?

Yes. We purchase room-rental properties including sitting tenants, ongoing contracts, security deposits, and the associated permit. You do not need to buy anyone out.

Do you also buy vacant properties in Tilburg?

Yes. We purchase both rented and vacant properties in Tilburg. In the case of vacancy, we look at the market rent the property can generate and the costs to make it rentable or reusable again.

Do I pay estate agency fees or commission?

No. We buy directly from you, without the intervention of an estate agent. You pay no commission. The usual buyer's costs are at our expense; only any deed of discharge upon repayment of your mortgage will be for your account.

How quickly can completion take place in Tilburg?

Usually within two to six weeks after agreement. If you need a specific delivery date, for example in connection with a business relocation or a tax deadline, we will plan the delivery accordingly.

Is the offer without obligation?

Yes. The offer is free and without obligation. You can reject it without costs or obligations; we will not contact you again if you indicate so.
