Would you buy a home that used to be an office?
More people are being encouraged to do just that, as the City of London announced plans to build 1,500 new homes in former office blocks left vacant due to the pandemic this week.
But the trend of converting commercial buildings into homes has been around for a few years.
Since 2015, property developers have been allowed to convert offices into apartments without getting full planning permission, under a system called permitted development rights - and that policy now applies to shops and warehouses, too.

One of the key British films of the 1950s, Pool of London was far out ahead of the crowd in tackling racial issues on screen. This classic dockside noir was directed by Basil Dearden. During the 1940s, heâd made some of Ealing Studiosâ darkest and most innovative features, including sections of the classic anthology horror Dead of Night (1945). Pool of London indicated his later turn towards more political subjects, whether disenfranchised working-class youth in Violent Playground (1958), homosexuality in Victim (1961) or racism in Sapphire (1959).
