Hello all,

I have planning permission for a new semi detached house, which my family and I will live in. We are planning to install a separate entrance for a work space and flat, which we may rent as two separate units.

There is one title only for the whole build. I do not propose to use the LIVE WORK SPACE (as designated by the planning approval) as a work space for myself. This may change if I can recover all the VAT on the project.

As a family we will complete a lot of the internal fit out ourselves, but a contractor will bring us up to wind and water tight.

We have demolished the site - using a demo contractor - as it was previously a small car repair garage.

My question is, how do we manage the VAT recovery for all or part of the site?

Thanks,

Bristol
