Residential stock = private homes. Commercial stock = business-owned spaces.
Commercial is usually valued lower, which is why converting it to residential often creates a big uplift. 🔑

Commercial gets graded by zones, while residential is valued by £/sq ft using local comps. 📊
Smart investors know: understanding the difference is where the profit starts. 💡🏘️
