Save stamp duty: Buy a mixed-use mews property
With a flat rate of 5% stamp duty, mixed-use properties are growing increasingly popular with investors eager to add prime Central London mews homes and other exceptional properties to their property portfolio. According to James Robinson, general manager of Lurot Brand, you can “scale up the commercial space by as much as 25 per cent”. This makes a mixed-use purchase an ideal long-term investment, especially if you’re looking for a centrally located live/ work space.
