Mixed use questions.
How do you value a mixed-use building?
We instruct a valuer to report on the whole asset, apportioning between the elements where useful. The lower of bricks-and-mortar or investment value drives the advance.
What if the commercial element is vacant?
That’s fine. We’ll take a view on the residential value with an allowance for the vacant space. Often the cleanest plan is to convert it.
Will a 1st charge be enough?
For a sole trader or LLP, usually. Every loan to a limited company also needs a debenture and a personal guarantee.
