Your Doorway to Commercial Property. FREE to List!

The Commercial Real Estate Website, FindSpace, has added a very useful maps feature to make searching for that perfect workspace even easier.

Most websites have the ability to show you where the property is sited on Google Maps but what if there are a number or properties you are interested in, how do they relate to each other?

FindSpace has solved this problem by allowing you to see multiple listings on one Google Map.

Justin Ryan, FindSpace Director, says ‘If you know a city well then its easy for you to understand how different suburbs all relate to each other, but if you come from out of town you don’t have this local knowledge.  This new map feature allows anyone to see all properties they are interested in on one map’.

The feature is available from the results of either a QuickSearch or by using the SpaceFinder advanced search.  Once you have the refined list in front of you, one simple click transfers all the listings to Google Maps.

If you hover over an icon you get the address, clicking once on the icon gives you summary information, clicking twice takes you to the full detail page.

An example of the new map can be viewed HERE!

Ryan says, ‘This feature just adds to our design brief of ‘One site for All’ where the end user can view all available space, regardless of source, combined with the most comprehensive search tools’.

If you have vacant Commercial Property then you will be pleased to know that there is an alternative to Trade Me available to you, and it’s FREE to list.

FindSpace is a new site that only list commercial property.  You won’t find any houses, cars or shoes on our site and our SpaceFinder search tool makes it easier for your customers to find your property.

Properties are logically split between Office, Retail, Industrial, Storage and Other categories and you can flag a property as been For Sale and For Lease in the one entry.

There are a number of upgraded plans available as well that will give your listing extra exposure and display it on the front page.

FindSpace has been developed to make it as easy as possible for your customers to find what they are after and you can even list properties that are Not for Sale, see the Tickle Me plans.

So with so much to offer, why would you not list your property on FindSpace, FREE to Join and FREE to list.

On reviewing a number of listings on FindSpace we have noticed that only a minimum amount of information is been loaded and when it comes to figures there are some very cheap building around, or so it would seem.

The old adage of Garbage In = Garbage Out is very true here.  If subscribers are entering in invalid information then the likelihood is that these listings will not be picked up correctly when users are searching via the SpaceFinder search tool.

Fields that seem to be getting overlooked are:

• Entering the property area into the correct filed type in our Area MakeUp table
• Entering spurious figures for Sale or Lease prices in order to save a listing (we force these fields for a reason, so potential buyers can compare building accurately via a per metre cost, and so that they don’t waste your time by enquiring about a property that is not in their price range).
• Putting the number of carparks in the text field.  By doing this it negates the ability for a user to search by car parks.
• Not entering dates and details for Tenders and Auctions in the correct place.

At the end of the day we won’t tell subscribers how to use the system but would suggest that all the fields we use are there for a reason, ie., it relates to the type of information users are interested in when searching for a property.

Proposed changes to the GST rules on sales of land and other high-value assets, to prevent revenue loss, are the focus of a government discussion document released today for public comment.

Other proposed changes include making it easier to account for the taxable and non-taxable use of assets on which GST is paid, and clarifying the boundary between residential and commercial accommodation for GST purposes.
