As one of the newest faces in our team, Nathaniel Bartlett is already making a strong impression across the South West industrial corridor. We caught up with him to hear about a recent sale that reflects both the momentum in the market and his thoughtful approach. Nathaniel also shared some timely insights for both buyers and sellers navigating today’s industrial landscape.
Q: Was the property sold on or off market?
“The property was launched to the open market, ensuring maximum exposure, which played a key role in driving a strong result.”
Q: Did the owner invest in a marketing program?
“Yes, the vendor committed to an enhanced listing package and professional photography. This investment played a key role in generating strong enquiry and elevating the property above comparable listings.”
Q: What made this property particularly appealing to buyers?
“The entry-level price point was ideal for owner-occupiers and family-run businesses looking to secure their own space for the long term.”
Q: Was it hotly contested?
“There was early interest and strong negotiations from the outset, which reflects the pent-up demand we’re seeing in this price bracket, especially among buyers looking for owner-occupied industrial assets.”
Q: How long was the property on the market?
“The campaign launched in late February and the property sold within four weeks, a clear sign of strong buyer interest and successful marketing efforts.”
Q: What trends are you noticing in current market conditions?
“We’re seeing more smaller businesses shift from leasing to ownership. It’s a move toward long-term stability and a way to manage rising occupancy costs in a tightening leasing market.”
Q: What advice would you give to sellers right now?
“Bring your property to market and invest in marketing to capture buyer attention. Well-run public campaigns continue to deliver premium results through broader visibility and competitive tension.”
Q: And for buyers?
“In today’s climate, sellers are leaning toward clean offers with minimal conditions and quick settlements. Buyers with pre-approved finance and flexibility will put themselves in a stronger position.”
