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.
