This is a great episode if you want to get into commercial conversions as Shaz takes us through his latest project the conversion of a grade 2 listed post office into twenty two mixed flats and a ground-floor commercial space

He goes through the numbers and shares valuable content about working with lenders, the loan-to-cost figures and the GDV, listen in to hear why commercial conversions should be part of your property development portfolio

• The loan to GDV is also an important figure for the lender
• The parameters may change according to the deal
• We will have over a thousand pounds in our pockets as profit every week
• There will also be capital appreciation
• Work out the cost per square foot at the beginning, the cost to redevelop and calculate the value per square foot at the end
