A composite property used partly for residence and partly for commercial activity was treated as eligible for section 54 relief to the extent of the residential portion. The Tribunal held that the residential component could not be ignored merely because the sale agreement described the property as commercial, and directed apportionment of sale consideration relating to the residential floors before granting exemption.
