Hi everyone.
I need some advice about a property conversion and whether or not I need new utility connections for the residential part of the property and leave the old one in the commercial part.
The plan is to have the ground floor as a commercial unit and then 3 flats above it (3 storey building). To save some money I will probably just have water and electricity go to the residential part but do I need a new water and electricity connection for it?
This topic https://forums.landlordzone.co.uk/fo...y-into-2-flats, in the last post, suggests that with the right plumbing I can just use the current connection and then install sub-meters and include it in the rent.
But then what about the commercial unit? The business that will rent it out will want its own utility suppliers wouldn't it so I can't use the same connections can I?
Wouldn't that effectively mean that I would be choosing the supplier and then including it in the rent if I were to just use the current connections?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
