..it has Stephen - inspired me to continue the hunt for first commercial. So much of my time searching feels unproductive. Though, watching your video just now is a boost to continue. You're generous with info. and don't dally, but speedily wizz through a lot of important issues. Thank you very much.

[@StephenDuncombetv]

That’s great to hear. 👍

[@thomasbarnes4558]

[@StephenDuncombetv]

Thanks Noble that’s great to hear. 👍

[@SerYoga1]

Good man, thank you for sharing your knowledge 😊👍 Subscribed, will be waiting for more episodes 😊

[@CROSSNSHOOT]

Definitely considering getting into more commercial property as opposed to residential due to constant political noise against landlords of residential

[@chriswildey8430]

I know you try to find properties that have long-term tenants in place, but would be interesting if you could do a video about commercial properties becoming vacant. I imagine commercial properties are harder to find new tenants, and would be interesting to understand your insights on the landlord being liable for business rates. Honestly, it is these aspects that worry me about investing in commercial property.

[@StephenDuncombetv]

Yes they are the risks. I will do a video on those points at some point but I go over the details in my uplevel workshop. Waitlist is in description.

[@mikeroyce8926]

In which city/town was this property? Or if you don't want to share, would you be happy to share in which county the property was?

[@SG-tz7jj]

Seems like some where in london

[@rgehlhaar]

have you got a list of the tenant interview questions?

[@JustinWilkins]

Really interesting video Stephen, thanks for the detail!

[@StephenDuncombetv]

Hey Justin, pleased you got some value from it.

[@louiseluckcuck1325]

Your videos are great and super inspirational. I have only ever done resi i need. Some guidance for commercial

[@davidcalvert-smith4633]

Nice Video 👍 - would be interesting to have a video on the commercial mortgage. Is it interest only like a residential BTL? I assume lenders want a 40% deposit?

[@StephenDuncombetv]

Great suggestion! You can get either and now you can get them with 30% down as a general rule.

[@ketan6213]

Do you have a questionnaire which we could see about the due dillegence and questions that should be asked when buying commercial?

[@tradingwizard8057]

you are so clued up.

[@StephenDuncombetv]

Thanks for the kind words.

[@gerrygm2221]

Hi Stephen. As you managed to avoid VAT on the purchase does this mean you don’t charge VAT to your tenant for the monthly rent ? Loving your videos they are easy to understand and you seem up front and honest.

[@StephenDuncombetv]

Hi no you still charge vat as you are vat registered to transfer as a going concern. Thanks for the kind feedback 👍

[@IsmailKhan-yz3cx]

Great video like always!

[@StephenDuncombetv]

Thanks I'm pleased to hear that!

[@IsmailKhan-yz3cx]

@@StephenDuncombetv where is property located?

[@anillchandi]

Would love it invest further into commercial property. I currently own 1 commercial premises and am going to covert the upper floors into 2 flats. I’d then going to refinance them and invest the money, but I’d love some guidance and mentoring. Would you be interested or open to mentoring at all? Many thanks

[@StephenDuncombetv]

Send me an email and I can see if I can help you. You’ll find it on the about page on my channel.

[@fibzy02]

32k stamp duty is crazy

[@butin9961]

I thought there was no SDLT to pay on commercial?

[@StephenDuncombetv]

Would love that. You still pay SDLT. It’s less than residential though based on a similar tier system.

[@irfanamjad5425]

Hi, You mentioned the tenant spent 500k in upgrading the property. In terms of the capital allowances, do you get to offset the rental income against that or does that amount belong to the tenant?

[@StephenDuncombetv]

The tenant did not spend it. The owner did but they also signed a lease and so also a tenant. But either way capital allowances are with the company that spends it. You can transfer capital allowances as part of the purchase agreement if you ask for them and agree it as part of the deal.

[@dalekidcoach]

I found a commercial property in my local town for £20,000. With the monthly yield of £666. I’m hesitating because I am an absolute serious novice like… Serious novice!

[@StephenDuncombetv]

Sounds good. Key thing is to look at the lease terms and demand for that property in the future if the tenant left. I always perform a tenant interview to see if they like the property and if their business is growing etc. difficult if you have no ideas though. Seek out someone to help you who has done it before.

[@ChrisHarper-d7o]

What sort of business was it?

[@Marcus213]

What tax percentage are you paying? After tax doesn’t seem like there would be any profit.

[@StephenDuncombetv]

It’s owned in a company. It’s 19% for companies at the moment plus you can deduct expenses like mortgages interest etc.

[@Marcus213]

@@StephenDuncombetv thank you Stephen

[@Kilex6522]

Has Capital Allowances been claimed on it?

[@StephenDuncombetv]

Yes just £2 passed across at purchase as they said the rest was claimed.

[@luiselvis2059]

Ola Stphen, are in interested in commercial properties in portugal? Seaside boomi g city Algarve?? Has a 15 yr lease with it

[@StephenDuncombetv]

Not unless the cap rates are over 20%. I can buy 15 year leases properties in the UK and earn GBP and understand the market dynamics better here. The reward would need to outway the risk.
