Now I understand...
A sale of a commercial property as a freehold is standard rated for VAT, whereas selling a residential property is zero-rated if its freehold or a long lease (of more than 21 years) and the lease is granted by the constructor, or if its a renovated property that's been empty for moe then 10 years, otherwise it's VAT exempt. Unless it's a commercial lease and there's an option to tax. I think.
Easy, really. Don't know why I used to make such a meal of it.
