Originally posted by TheCyclingProgrammer View PostThanks for the tips and advice. We'll go and look at the place on Wednesday and take it from there.

We've already resigned to the fact that we're going to have to up our original £250k budget and take the hit on the extra stamp duty. If we get anywhere with our offer, I'll start looking into the planning issue and ask my accountant about rates.'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

Regarding the business rates. At present anything under £5000 rateable value is not charged for. It is then a sliding scale up to £15000 of relief. I have approx 2,500 sq ft and my rateable value is around £10,000 and I pay around £400per month business ratesComment

We have an AIP in excess of what we need to borrow but there's a difference between that and how much I'm willing to borrow. I don't want to exceed 80% LTV which we can probably manage, just, up to £270k if push comes to shove.Comment
