Permits and licences to check
Running a business from a commercial unit needs a business permit from the city or municipality, renewed every year, and the Local Government Code (Republic Act 7160) sets the licensing and local business tax. One listing of city fees gives ₱500 plus ₱30 documentary stamp tax for a city or municipal permit, and a city office lists regulatory fees at 15% with a ₱500 minimum. Confirm zoning and permits before you sign.
Developer sales and the license to sell
If you buy from a developer, ask for its license to sell. Under DHSUD rules, subdivision and condominium projects must be licensed before the developer can advertise or sell lots, so request the license number in writing.
Climate, timing and visits
Property has no winter peak here, but the climate is hot all year with a wet and a dry season. Visit during the wet season if you can, because drainage, flooding and roof leaks show up when it rains. Compare listings by price per square metre as well as the total, since a 1,393 sqm building and a small unit cannot be compared by total price alone.
What to put in your request
Give the property type, the district or city (Manila, Quezon City, Cebu City, Davao City or Makati), floor area in square metres, budget in pesos, intended use and whether land is included. Also say which floor you need, how trucks and customers reach the unit, whether a tenant is in place and which documents you want to see, such as the title and the permits.
