What this preset is for

Ground-floor retail or office capitalised on NOI/yield, residential units priced on £/sqft.

Blending GDV

  • Commercial: capitalise NOI (gross rent less op-cost) at the prevailing yield (5.5 to 7.5 percent retail, 5.0 to 6.5 percent office).
  • Residential: units x NIA x £/sqft as standard.
  • Sum to total scheme GDV.

SDLT treatment

  • Mixed-use sites taxed at non-residential SDLT rates (lower top rate, no 5 percent surcharge).
  • HMRC challenge frequent: must be genuine mixed-use at completion.
