Good afternoon ,
Can I please ask for some pointers as I begin the process of a change of residence and career ... my situation is as follows and I would appreciate advice on the best options and questions to ask the council and accountant in the coming months .
I own my own house outright and have inherited a property which is derelict , which I would like to renovate.
1. To avail of the grant for house refurbishment , the renovated property would have to be my primary residence. What is the process in declaring this my PPR- whenever that building work gets completed ? I intend keeping my own house and a family member may move into it in time .
2. In addition , I would like to run a business from the property , either from the main house or build on a purpose built separate area for this . I have made initial enquiries from our local Leader office around the viability of this particular business being established ( self employed - and running a holistic therapy practice or a hub type centre where different therapists can rent a space and run workshops etc ) and also the eligibility of getting a grant towards setting up such a business . I have yet to hear back on that.
I have been a PAYE worker for 32 years and really would like to use my skillset now in a different career - although looking likely that I will need to keep going for a while yet to pay for all of this ! I have about 100k which I could invest in the project . Having been a taxpayer for so long , I would like to now avail of some of the supports available !
I would really appreciate any observations you may have or advice regarding relevant questions to ask that I will not thought of , to add to my own extensive list !
Thank you .
