Buying a shop that already has a tenant

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.

What should you check before buying a leased shop?

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.

Does a leased shop cost more than an empty one?

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 We do not publish a specific premium figure because we hold no verified rent data to support one.

Where are leased shops available in Egypt?

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.

Where our data stops: We hold sale prices and no verified rent data, so we publish no yield percentage. Price-per-metre figures are computed from our inventory and dated August 2026.
