We are looking at a building that has a flat upstairs and currently has a commercial space downstairs. Is it allowed to live in the commercial space? do you need to change the planning? What is involved? Do commercial spaces pay different taxes than residential. Any advice on buying and converting would be helpful.

You would have to apply for permission to change the use of the commercial premises to residential The tax you pay would be different. The council may have a policy that designates the area as for commercial use so they may not allow change of use.

You would probably have to apply for a "change of use" under the planning laws, It should be less trouble than changing from domestic to commercial, ask a t your local CAB.
