In this episode, I’m in Worthing, West Sussex, showing you an incredible commercial-to-residential property investment. Instead of just buying houses, what if you could rent out commercial properties and turn them into cash-generating assets? That’s exactly what my student and good friend Isaac has done—he transformed an old sweet shop into a high-yielding commercial and residential unit.
We break down:
✅ How to buy commercial properties below market value
✅ The benefits of FRI leases (Full Repairing and Insuring leases)
✅ Using permitted development rights to convert commercial spaces into residential
✅ The short-let vs long-term rental strategy for maximum cash flow
✅ How Isaac turned an old £25,000 kitchen into a high-end feature for just £2,800
✅ The exact numbers, costs, and profits from this project
📈 The Results? A property bought for £250,000, refurbished for £80,000, and now valued at £450,000+—all while generating pure passive income!
🔑 KEY TOPICS COVERED:
→ What is a Full Repairing and Insuring Lease (FRI)?
→ How to get planning approval for commercial-to-residential conversions
→ Maximising rental income with strategic refurbishments
→ The power of short-term lets near tourist hotspots
→ How to find off-market property deals through estate agents
→ Tips for negotiating property prices with motivated sellers
