Buying a Laundromat in Brooklyn Heights

Start by identifying a laundromat that fits your investment goals. Then, before making an offer or signing any documents, hire a real estate attorney who can guide you through due diligence. At The Price Law Firm, we’ll help you verify the business’s financials, investigate lease details, ensure the operation is legally compliant, and negotiate the deal to protect your interests.

Common legal issues include unfavorable lease terms, environmental compliance (especially if solvents or dry-cleaning machines are present), unlicensed operation, equipment liens, and zoning restrictions. We help uncover and resolve these risks before you commit to the purchase.

Yes. Most laundromats are sold as businesses, not buildings. You’ll typically be purchasing the assets (like machines and branding) and assuming a commercial lease. However, that lease can make or break your investment. We ensure the lease is assignable, fairly structured, and built to support your long-term goals.

Legal costs vary based on the complexity of the transaction, but considering what’s at stake, hiring a real estate attorney is one of the smartest investments you’ll make. We offer clear guidance up front, and in many cases, we prevent financial losses far greater than our fee. Contact us for a free consultation and quote.

Once the deal is closed, you’ll assume control of the business—and that’s where the real opportunity begins. We support clients beyond the transaction by helping with any necessary business formation, licensing updates, and post-sale legal needs. Our goal is not just to help you buy a laundromat, but to ensure you thrive as its owner.
