I'm looking at a commercial property advertised on realestate and its been listed as 'Retail Leasehold Available'. Does this mean you own the property, or does it mean you pay the asking price, and then you can lease it?
It means they are selling the business within the building.
You are not buying either the land or the building. Simply the goodwill of the business, any plant that comes with the business and any stock they have on the shelves.
You are not buying any property if you purchase it.
