Commercial property guide
Mixed-use real estate.
Buying or selling a property with commercial and residential uses means weighing different income sources and operating needs. We help owners and buyers understand each component and compare how the property works as a whole.

A combined income figure is useful only when the leases, costs and operating assumptions behind it are understood.
Income by component
Separate commercial and residential rents, vacancies and lease obligations. Consider whether one part is carrying costs that a combined summary obscures.
Operations and capital work
Review shared systems, maintenance allocation and planned improvements. Consider disruption to each use when assessing future work.
Buyer and financing fit
Different use mixes can affect financing and management expectations. Position the property for buyers whose objectives match those responsibilities.
In context
One property. Different operating needs.
A mixed-use property should be considered as a whole and by its individual components. Lease structures, access, maintenance responsibilities and improvement plans may differ between the commercial and residential portions.
A practical path forward.
- 01
Set the criteria
Define the business or ownership objective, budget and timing. Separate requirements from preferences before comparing properties.
- 02
Compare the alternatives
Review competing spaces or relevant sales alongside the property's costs, condition and income where applicable. Make assumptions explicit.
- 03
Work through the terms
Consider price, lease obligations, improvements, financing and review periods together. Coordinate specialist questions before making a commitment.
- 04
Plan the next step
Use the comparison to refine the search, position the property or negotiate an offer. Keep the agreed transaction milestones visible.
