Hi all,
I have had my beauty salon now for 3 years and fortunately it has been a raging success. I work on my own which I think is why it appeals to so many as they quite like the idea of getting the same therapist every time and like the personal touch. In my contract I can opt out at 3 years as I put in place a break clause where in the third year giving my landlord 6 months notice I can come away from the contract. My salon is not huge I would say about the size of a double garage. It has one room for body treatments and waxing, one room for tanning and the reception area in which I do nails and feet too.
I had no intention of coming away from the salon just yet until I got talking to a couple of my ladies who are business owners also. We were discussing rent and they have said for the area he does seem to of priced fairly high. I can meet the payments no problem but then this got me thinking....
Then sadly December 2013 my mother in law passed away fairly quickly and my poor father in law is so distressed and lonely. He has approached me and asked if I would consider moving my salon to their house. (They have a pretty big house). He said he won't disturb me with it and let me crack on but he just wants to know there are other people around...
I know his head is everywhere right now so I haven't said too much about it but every time he sees me he asks if I have thought about it. The area he is willing for me to have has its own separate entrance, it is the study (which is never used) and utility area. He said he would be happy to just agree a rate and we can do a contract between ourselves as I am concerned I don't want our relationship to get effected.
I am thinking the money side I would save as I won't be paying a separately electricity bill, also the rent will be lower. But I am concerned as I don't know whether the value of his property gets effected because it's used for business purposes or what we'd have to consider there?
I suppose I am asking what would you guys do if it were you? Pros and cons? Also what would we have it consider? I don't want him to come out of it worse off.
