I'm sure that they are "up for it", the question is how?

Don't be silly.
It could work, except that (around here) most premises are let (by the same landlord) to two different parties. If there are two seperate leases, does that mean that the proprietor lives 'on the premises' if he lives above the shop and holds two leases? Most other shops here are let as office space above (or recruitment agencies, hairdressers etc.).
Sadly I don't live in Scotland.
Two separate leases means two separate premises. If the tenant/owner lives on the premises and runs his business from there then there should be an allowance for the business size freeing it from commercial rates. Size of business floor area is up for argument but I was looking at the corner shops we used to have until
1990. The ones started in the 1920s by converting the front room into a shop. Usually a room anywhere from 16 sq yards to 50. You could get small bakers and grocers back into town centres. Small specialist shops and manufacturers.Have something to add? Share your thoughts — no account required.
