    Underpinning

    Problems should not be hidden, however I would not rely on any owner or agent completely. Use your solicitor and surveyor to find out for sure.

    Advice Please

    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! Jonathan :-)

    Buying Next to Commercial

    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.

    Building a 1 bed flat and car port for 2 cars

    don’t expect the build cost to drop much even if you lose the ground floor accommodation as most of the build cost goes in groundwork, roofing etc.

    Some agents may take a credit card payment. Or get a loan off family/friend? Steer clear of the payday lender route.

    Yes fair point, the worse things get elsewhere, the better the UK looks I guess. These are crazy times!

    Stamp Duty Land Tax 2015

    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.
