I am trying to make some money for my future. I am currently living with my parents and saving to build in approx. 5-10 years time. There is a two bedroom house for sale in my local town which I could afford a 90% mortgage as a first time buyer. My question is: can I continue to live in my family home 95% of the time and live in the house I am interested in buying for 5% of the time in between lets etc and still call that house my PPR?
Would the rent fall under the rent a room scheme or would it be liable to tax? The rent would be about 7-8k per year, the rent would well cover the mortgage.
Thanks for any steer you could give me.
