Hi Ranjan, just watching your "5 golden rules for investing in high street shops" and you reference a link to the artical you published on the subject. Please could you provide? Thanks

[@ranjanbhattacharya-succeed7617]

Have you invested in High Street commercial property? What has your experience been? Do you have any questions? Please let me know below.

[@shaonmukherjee1389]

Hi Ranjan, Great video. You mention Secondary Parade? how do you tell if its this as opposed to a Primary Parade? regards Shaon

[@ranjanbhattacharya-succeed7617]

@@shaonmukherjee1389 Generally Primary parades have higher footfall which attract all the usual national branded shops. Secondary parades have less footfall and are not as attractive to national chains. Due to the lower footfall, rents are usually lower. Secondary parades are usually occupied predominantly by independent local businesses

Hi Ranjan, I'm new to property investment and have decided to focus initially on commercial as my key strategy. I was talking to an FA who told me that lenders don't look favourably on retail where residential is part of it. Has this been your experience? thank you too for consistently putting out such incredible content.

[@ranjanbhattacharya-succeed7617]

@@suzehancock818 Thank you Suze for your feedback. I tend to find you need a commercial broker for commercial properties. Also approaching banks directly is a good option. Also residential shouldn't be dismissed as long as done through limited company and you focus on buying/building multi-unit freeholds, which is in effect commercial.

[@ryanwollacott8205]

Looking to get into Commercial investing whether that is mixed use retail and flat above or industrial units. I have found rates to be very high even on 50% LTV looking at around 6% as I have no real experience. Does that sound right I suppose I just have to factor in those costs to my calculations. Thanks

[@adielstephenson2929]

At least this guy just instructs you how to do things, rather than trying to sell you on changing your lifestyle by dropping the day job and becoming a property millionaire.

[@marjorieamoah2774]

whats happening to the property market now?

[@AliAli-fb9sd]

How would you access a flat at the back of a ground floor shop, do you create a door and corridor at the front of the shop or?

[@ranjanbhattacharya-succeed7617]

YES. Or preferably find a shop with access from the rear. Check out this example case study of a conversion of a shop rear to a flat >>> kzbin.info/www/bejne/iZXaf2Snaq18sKM

Hi Ranjan, we have portfolio of commercial property in partnership all now getting to age of retirement.What will be best way to transfer to next generation via Limited CO or partnership? We are just planning Best way to avoid Inheritance tax, sale or transfer? Please see if you can help us.Regards Manu Patel Devon

[@ranjanbhattacharya-succeed7617]

Quite a detailed question. many options depending on individual circumstances. SASS is a great tax efficient vehicle to create an entity for inter generational wealth transfer. (but does need a bit of planning and a few years to implement properly. I do cover these options on my weekend course, next one is 1st and 2nd June. bakerstreetworkshop.com/

[@jrt996]

I am a uni student looking to get started in property and have found your channel insightful. Any advice for young entrepreneurs looking to get started in property?

[@ranjanbhattacharya-succeed7617]

Hi JR. Thanks for your comments. Am planning a video on how to get started in property for young people. I don't believe it's changed at all since when I started. I bought my first property 2 weeks after graduating from University. So stay tuned and thank you for your kind words

[@ranjanbhattacharya-succeed7617]

Also a video is coming shortly on how to buy commercial property with little or no money.

[@cosmosolaniyan6773]

Hi JR. Good morning. I like to in commercial property. Right I have little or no money, kindly enlighten me. I intend on how to start as soon as possible. Thank you so much.

[@cecilie7112]

Is there any chance with A4-C3 conversion?

[@termihorse]

I’m considering buying a semi commercial property in Liverpool (shop with flat above it). Purchase price £55K, rental income 675 /month (300 for the shop and 375 for the flat). Is this a good investment?

[@harper07harper]

freehold?

[@CPTZK11]

If it is freehold thats brilliant. How did it go?

[@harper07harper]

@@CPTZK11 It probs didn't if he was asking if it is a good investment on youtube? lol

[@liongold9695]

I was about to complete in March but had to pull out of the transaction due to corona virus, government just ordered businesses to close. Want to see how the economy is affected long term, might buy something next year when the situation is under control.
