Commercial Property Next Door

I have found a house that really suits what i am after. Lovrey interior and a good amount of space.

However there is one drawback, it is next door to a Thai Restaraunt. It doesn't look the busiest place in the world but i am thinking that in terms of investment, it might not be so clever.
Has anyone had any experience being next to a commerical property? Im guessing it will be harder to sell.

Cheers

    Some mortgage companies don't like lending on flats above commercial premises.

    Some mortgage companies don't like lending on homes adjacent to food/drink/pub premises.

    Some mortgage companies don't like lending on homes within X doors of food/drink/pub premises.

    Be mindful of that if you do decide to try to take it forward.

    The bottom line is: it might be a lovely, well run, place now, but it could just as easily close down next year to be replaced by a kebab shop serving drunks until 3am... drunks who shout, holler, create mess, fight, scream, cry, kick articles in the street, drop litter in your garden... etc etc.

    Thai food is great.



    Living next to a Thai restaurant would be really convenient for easy meals - and after a while you'd probably get a discount once they get to know you.

    How is the parking? Even if you have a drive you may find people parking across it because they are 'only popping in'...
