Part Buying House - Terms state no business use.

Cassy77

Hi - need urgent help! We are meant to be signing all the lease/contracts today for a 25% share in a house. However I have just read in the lease that the property is just to be use solely as a private dwelling - no business or commercial use. When I first enquired about viewing and agreed to buy I told them my husband worked from home and the bedroom would be an office and they said that it was fine.
I have now paid out over £1000 in costs, am pregnant and really want to move - will we still be able to move as it is just office work with no visiting customers or am I homeless?!
Any help appreciated.

It will be fine, as long as he doesn't hold any company board meetings in the house.

Will hubby be putting up a big sign outside advertising what he does?

That type of working from home is allowed, as it is not dis-similar to domestic living.

That's fine. They don't want visitors/staff/deliveries going on, nor people mending cars in the driveway.

There's a world of difference between a man standing at a bedroom window 3x a day holding a cup of coffee .... and somebody receiving 6 delivery lorries, 4 lots of "signed for" post, 3 visitors and being in/out of their workshop in the garden all day where they're storing paint and other flammable goods.
