The B2B lens
A property is not just an address. It is a business system.
For commercial occupiers and investors, the better question is rarely “is this cheap?”. It is “what operational outcome does this property create, and what risk is attached to that outcome?”.
Demand: who needs the space, and what changes their decision?
Income: what is contracted, what is market, and what is fragile?
Liquidity: how many buyers or tenants exist if plans change?
Governance: what documents, approvals and obligations can bite later?
