Business being run from a house

We're going to view 2 properties tomorrow which have been on the market a while. I've been putting the addresses on the internet and it appears that at some time both have been used as registered business address. Is this something I should be concerned about?

    Not at all. It is a non issue other than you would get loads of business junk mail if the previous people do not redirect their post

    It shouldn't be... it is not uncommon. If you enter the address of my close into Google, then it is apparent that a lot of my neighbours have their home address as the registered address for their business (including various consultancies, a carpet fitting business and an art dealer!).

    My husband never used our home address for the registered address for the business (even when he worked from home) - he actually uses the accountant's office address.

    There shouldn't be anything to worry about (unless maybe the business is a Cannibis Growing Farm or a Brothel etc... ;) ).
