Hi,
you can approach the lady directly but she will likely still be liable for at least one agency fee, but that’s not really your concern. Best of luck, sounds a bit messy!

The fact you are worried answers the question. Personally, I would want it 10 to 15% less than a similar property not near commercial. Also be aware the use could change and the take Away opens very late or the Launderette becomes an Undertaker for example.
Take advice from your Lawyer but there are probably very few areas that don’t have some issue. We all take a path daily between health and security and convenience etc. The same applies to housing – it’s your call in the end.
Difficult to say as the world is in such turmoil but we anticipate a UK wide 5% increase this year which will probably equate to a London increase of circa 8%
SDLT will have little impact on the upper end in terms of volume, but prices may rise slightly less quickly than they would have done.
A bigger issue is the events in the world that may slow the amount of foreign investment into London.
