A leased shop for sale is a commercial unit that already has a sitting tenant on a running contract. Ownership transfers with the lease in place, so income starts from the purchase date instead of after a letting period. It is a different product from an empty shop: you are buying an existing cash flow and inheriting a contract somebody else wrote.
Before buying a leased shop, three contract clauses set the value: the remaining term, the written rent-escalation mechanism, and the tenant's payment history. A long lease at a flat rent can look safe while losing value to inflation; a short lease may mean an imminent renegotiation upward, or a sudden vacancy.
A leased shop usually costs more than an empty one, because the buyer is paying to skip the letting period and the vacancy risk. The premium is not fixed and depends on tenant quality and lease length. We do not publish a specific premium figure because we hold no verified rent data to support one.
Leased shops concentrate in Egyptian areas with established footfall: Fifth Settlement, Heliopolis, Nasr City and Maadi — the same areas where buyers search for this product by name. Units listed with us in those areas may be tenanted or vacant; this is confirmed per unit on enquiry.
The projects below are genuinely listed for sale with us and are the unit type the Buying an already-leased shop guide applies to. Whether a given unit is tenanted or vacant is confirmed on enquiry.
