Hi all
I am a qualified beauty therapist/nail tech. After spending the past 8 years paying people lots of money to rent a room (as well as being dictated too), I ve decided to go it alone and lease my own property.
I have found somewhere that would be ideal. Lovely property, beautiful grounds, just out of main village but with signage along a main road. The rent isn't bad £6,500 per year and I ve been told the rates (value of £5,100) won't be payable until next March??!
It is an old building and the lease is a fully repairing and insurance lease which means I will be responsible for any work that needsdoing (the windows looks a bit rotten and the roof looks like it won't last long).
I would be grateful of any thoughts/ideas of things I need to look out or/ask before I look at signing a lease etc.
What sort of things will be looked tabby the landlord, will I need to pay a solicitor and how much? The agents say I ll need to apply for change of use planning has anyone done this?
