Commercial property search

Finding the right premises is vital for any business.  For example, you should ensure that your commercial property is the right size and is in the right location whilst being within budget.  Dorset maintains an interactive database, called Property Pilot, of available commercial land and property to either lease or to buy in the area.

Property Pilot is a completely free and confidential service and the partnership does not receive any commission payments from property sales or lettings, nor does it make any charges for enquiries or for properties to be included on the database.  This ensures that a quality, comprehensive and unbiased service is provided for the benefit of the local economy.

Property Pilot has already assisted numerous businesses relocate to the area and found alternative commercial property for indigenous businesses.  For example, many of Dorset's farmers and landowners are looking into ways of enhancing their farm incomes through diversification activities such as the conversion of redundant farm buildings into offices, studios and workshops.  With the help of Property Pilot in marketing this type of property, most are let quickly to a variety of businesses.

Businesses wishing to make use of this free service should contact the Property Pilot administrator using the details below or carry out a property search by following the link under 'Useful websites'.
