In short: London retail property ranges from single shops on local parades to larger high-street units, often with flats above. Most shops now fall within Use Class E, giving flexibility to switch between retail, café, office and some other uses. If buying with a tenant in place, the value depends on the tenant's strength, the lease length and rent reviews. Check footfall, vacancy rates on the street, business rates, the EPC and whether residential upper floors could be converted or sold off.
