Hi guys,
Sorry of this has been mentioned before but I did do a search and couldn't really find the answer!
I am moving in to a new house soon and have decided to work from home instead of in the room I currently rent. I have given my notice there and am planning on working from home from end of may. I have contacted the local council but they haven't really been much help really. I asked if I needed any permissions or anything and they didn't seem to know! They told me to contact VOA about business rates but that was it? Do I need to contact a health and safety officer or fire safety etc? Or is it really that I can just set up and hey presto?! Seems a bit relaxed to me and want to make sure I have done everything as don't want to end up being reported or something.
