For landlords
Why Landlords Choose MCE to Let and Sell Their Shops
Ground-floor shops and whole shoplots in KL and Selangor, let or sold with less vacancy and fewer surprises.
01
Fast matching, short vacancy
How does MCE let a shop quickly?
- We already work with business owners and chain brands who are looking for shops, so a suitable tenant can be introduced as soon as a unit comes up.
- We know operators across many trades and who is planning a new outlet or branch.
- Many units find the right tenant before they are ever advertised, so the vacancy period stays short.
- We start planning before the outgoing tenant leaves, so the handover is smooth and rent keeps flowing.
02
Shops only, so we know the trade
Why use a shop specialist instead of a general agent?
- We only handle shops, so we know the real rents in each hub (see our shop rent index).
- We recommend a fair market rent: not overpriced, not undersold.
- We know which street and which stretch suits which business.
- We understand each trade's hardware needs (kitchen exhaust, water points, 3-phase power) and say upfront whether a unit fits.
- We don't push unsuitable units onto tenants, so they don't discover after opening that the business can't work there.
03
Good for both landlord and tenant
How does MCE keep a tenancy stable for years?
- We look for tenants with stable businesses who can stay for the long term.
- We help tenants find a location that genuinely suits their business.
- Terms are explained clearly to both sides, so there are no disputes after signing.
- Rent, deposit, term and increases follow market practice, fair and transparent.
- Rent-free fit-out periods and renewal terms are negotiated sensibly for each unit and the market.
- When the tenant does well and stays long, the landlord's income is stable. Everyone wins.
04
Saves your time, clear process
What does MCE handle for the landlord?
- You don't need to answer dozens of calls or show the unit to every enquirer.
- Tenants receive complete unit details upfront: size, condition and costs.
- We follow every step from viewing and negotiation to signing.
- We arrange the lawyer and tenancy agreement, and explain stamp duty and other costs.
- Renewals and transfers later on are coordinated between both sides too.
05
The benefits of one appointed agent
Why appoint a single agent for my shop?
- One person is responsible and the asking price is consistent, so tenants never see the same shop at several prices.
- Information is accurate, with no outdated or wrong adverts floating online.
- Landlord and tenant each deal with one person, so nothing gets lost in translation.
- Both the landlord's and the tenant's privacy is protected.
06
Trust and reputation
Can I verify MCE before appointing?
- Registered Estate Negotiator (REN 37505) with CID Realtors Sdn Bhd (E (1) 1855), practising under BOVAEP rules and publicly verifiable.
- We serve the same hubs year after year and know the local landlords and businesses.
- Many clients come to us through referrals from past clients.
- We keep following up after the deal, not disappear once the agreement is signed.
- Landlords and tenants come back to us again, which says more than any advert.
07
Honest market advice
Will MCE tell me what my shop is really worth?
- We tell you your shop's fair market value and rental value today.
- We give an honest view of the unit's strengths and weaknesses.
- Whether to sell or let, we advise on the actual situation and never push a deal just to close it.
- When a tenant's budget is tight, we suggest better-suited locations instead of forcing a mismatch.
How it works
- 1
Tell us about the unit
Address, ground floor or whole shoplot, size, condition and your expected rent or price.

Market check
We compare with live demand and our hub rent data, and agree a fair asking figure with you.
- 3
Private matching first
We introduce the unit to suitable owners and brands on our list before any public advert.
- 4
Viewings and terms
We screen tenants, arrange viewings and negotiate rent, deposit, term and fit-out period.
- 5
Agreement and handover
Lawyer, tenancy agreement, stamp duty and keys, then follow-up through renewal.
“I only do shops. For tenants, I find you a location where your business can grow. For buyers, I tell you honestly what a shop is worth and what the risks are. For landlords, I find you a tenant or buyer you can work with for the long term. When all three sides are happy, business lasts.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much commission does a landlord pay to let a shop?
Fees follow the scale and rules set by BOVAEP (the Board of Valuers, Appraisers, Estate Agents and Property Managers). We confirm the exact fee in writing before you appoint us, so there are no surprises.
Do I have to advertise my shop online?
Not necessarily. Prime ground-floor units are often matched privately with owners and chain brands already on our list. If a public listing helps, we post one accurate advert under one consistent price.
How long does it take to let a ground-floor shop?
It depends on the hub, the unit and the rent. In busy hubs, well-priced units are often taken during the outgoing tenant's notice period. We will give you an honest view after a market check.
Should I let or sell my shop?
It depends on your goals, the current rent versus price in your hub, and the tenant situation. We compare both options with real figures and advise on what suits you, not on what closes fastest.
Can you help with a whole shoplot, not just the ground floor?
Yes. We handle ground-floor shops and whole shoplots or buildings, for letting or for sale.
