Selling an office building in Leiden
You can sell an office building in Leiden through a commercial real estate agent, off-market or directly to a committed buyer. Value depends on rental income or vacancy, the energy label (offices must have at least label C) and conversion potential. Pandverkoop.nl buys office buildings itself and makes a no-obligation offer within 24 hours.
What determines the value of an office building in Leiden?
For a let office a buyer works from rental income; for a vacant office from achievable market rent, the cost of making it sustainable and any conversion value.
- Energy label: offices over 100 m² must have at least label C to be used as offices
- Leases, term and market rent
- Accessibility and parking
- Zoning and opportunities to convert to housing or other uses
- Condition of installations and maintenance
Illustrative example: a vacant office with achievable market rent of €40,000 a year. At an 8% yield, €80,000 for sustainability upgrades and one rent-free year, the indication is €40,000 / 0.08 − €80,000 − €40,000 = €380,000. These are example figures, not Leiden market data.
