Mixed Use Freehold Blocks
Mixed use freehold blocks are properties held under a single freehold title that combine commercial units with residential accommodation within the same building or site.
The commercial element may include:
Retail units (shops, convenience stores, cafés)
Service-based occupiers (hair salons, gyms, clinics, estate agents)
Office space or professional services
Local commercial uses that support surrounding communities
The residential element typically consists of flats or apartments, often located above or alongside the commercial units.
Multi Unit Freehold Blocks (MUFB)
Freehold blocks of flats are buildings where the entire property, including all individual flats and common areas, is held under a single freehold title.
These blocks can vary in size from 2 flats to larger multi-storey buildings and typically consist of:
Residential flats or apartments
Shared communal areas (hallways, stairwells, gardens, or parking spaces)
Gyms and recreational spaces
Owning the freehold allows full control over the building, including maintenance, refurbishment, lease management, and the ability to maximise rental income and overall value.
Commercial to Residential Conversions
Many older or underutilised commercial buildings in towns and villages across the South West have huge potential. We repurpose these spaces into modern, energy-efficient homes that make the most of existing structures while revitalising local areas.
• Transforming shops, offices, and light industrial units into quality residential accommodation.
• Maximising use of permitted development rights (PDRs) where appropriate.
• Delivering sustainable, thoughtful designs that meet local housing demand.
