Commercial premises – what makes them stand out?

As defined in the Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure of April 12, 2002, on the technical requirements for buildings and their location, a commercial premises is a room or complex of rooms separated by permanent building partitions, as well as an entire building that is not a residence, technical room, or utility room. Commercial premises are intended for business or non-commercial purposes – they cannot be used for residential purposes. Commercial premises can only be rented for short periods. Long-term rentals, however, are subject to a fine and suspension of use until they are converted into residential premises.

Types of commercial premises

There are three main types of commercial premises :

  • institutional, sports or cultural buildings and premises and other facilities of this type;
  • office and commercial and service buildings and premises – including offices, offices, shops, catering facilities, warehouses, production halls;
  • buildings and premises for short-term accommodation – including hotels, guesthouses, hostels, campsites, apartments or flats for short-term rental.

Commercial premises with OPR

Commercial premises with a property right (OPR) are premises in which, in addition to ownership, there is also a limited property right, held by a person other than the owner. OPR, such as a pledge, cooperative ownership right to the premises, easement, or mortgage, in turn, involves the exercise of precisely defined rights over another person's property, which are typically held only by owners. A distinguishing feature of this type of commercial premises is often their lower price, thus enabling a reduction in the overall investment cost. Furthermore, limited property rights provide investors with additional security. For example, a mortgage can help secure a loan for the purchase of the premises.

What to consider when choosing commercial premises for sale?

Commercial premises can significantly impact a company's image and recognition, among other things. Therefore, when choosing one, it's worth paying particular attention to issues such as:

  • location – especially infrastructure in the area, competition, accessibility for customers (e.g. good access by car or public transport), parking spaces, etc.;
  • the area of the premises – it is important that it meets the needs of a specific company and the nature of its activities (it is best if there is also the possibility of renovation or expansion);
  • condition of the premises – it is worth carefully examining the technical condition of the premises to avoid breakdowns or unplanned renovations.
