Hi
I am about to purchase an apartment.The contracts will soon be exchanged. I am happy to proceed but it is an apartment on the first floor of a new development and I have realised that there will be retail units on the ground floor.
The retail units are still being fitted out so i don't know what exactly will be below me. Signage on the front on the developments says that there are vacancies for a creche and medical centre so I suppose it'll one of these.
I was wondering whether the fact that I will be living over a retail unit should be a cause of concern? Could the retail units change their use at some stage to something more objectionable?
I'd be particularly interested in the views of those who actually live above a retail unit.
Thanks
