Using a caravan as an office
Comments

Do you have a garage? Can it fit a desk etc and the car, if so, back the car out on workdays... that's nicer to look at than a caravan and cheaper....Stop! Think. Read the small print. Trust nothing and assume that it is your responsibility. That way it rarely goes wrong.

Park a caravan on your property, use it exclusively as an office and you could have a bill for non domestic rates.If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0

I have read today about the 'coffice' where people use coffee shops as short term office space.0

Oh yes, I have been a cofficer for a number of years- I have held the informal ongoing type of meetings, training sessions in Pret. It's a pleasant change for some clients and staff, and I promise you, I have seen people interviewed in the City branches of one chain!
It's also a lot more pleasant than the old builders cafe or the car of yesteryear for those of who want our careers spent as the "office ghost".
If Starbucks got .001% of every deal done......:cool:Stop! Think. Read the small print. Trust nothing and assume that it is your responsibility. That way it rarely goes wrong.

what about using a large garden shed as an ofice? one of these £200 jobbys from b&q? would that be a cheaper option than a caravan?To have integrity means that you don't agree with everyone you meet, nor do you succumb to pressure to be something that is in direct conflict with your core ethics.0

I know someone who did that years ago.
He even wallpapered the inside, and then the winter cold & damp came,
and walls covered in "porridge" like former wallpaper :rotfl:Stop! Think. Read the small print. Trust nothing and assume that it is your responsibility. That way it rarely goes wrong.

A summerhouse/garden room can be used if you insulate it etc

Ive been looking around and quite a few people use summerhouses as therapy rooms for complimentary therapies , some have had shower facilities put in, depending how much you want to pay of course and what you would want to use it for. Im certainly looking into it.0
