Two heads are better than one
Last Friday I got a call from a member wanting to find out the latest information and figures on offices changing into residential property in London. I found there was a lot of material on our online database much of it around the 1990s. You can find the material on there by putting in these search words:
offices and london and residential and conver$
Finding the latest statistics is much harder. One way would be to contact the planning departments in central London local authorities to find if you can get figures on a change of use from commercial to residential.
Our resident Information Officer specialising in commercial property, Peter, also suggested contacting London Residential Research and the journal Planning in London.
As you can see two heads are better than one 
. Have any of you got any other sources we may have missed?
