Hi, Has anyone got any recommendations for a wifi free solar powered security camera for site that would work with iPhone? kind regards, Kevan.

It is definitely uninhabitable…

Hi Alan, Went to my solicitor today and he is not charging stamp duty due to the present house being uninhabitable and it needs demolished so that’s saved me 4k! kind regards, kevan

Thank you Alan, very interesting reading!

Thank you Alan, My Solicitor shall just say pay it, HMRC have a phone number I can ring so I’ll give them a ring when I get a chance….

Hi, I am in the process of buying a plot, there is an old wooden shack on it that is uninhabitable, I have received outline planning and can knock down and build on the plot, one of the reasons I received planning was the fact that the planners agreed that the house could not be renovated or ever lived in again, would this class the plot as non residential because the shack is uninhabitable which would make it exempt from Stamp Duty, I know I have got three years to build and shall have to sell my house I am living in within this period to claim back SD but it would help with funds if I was exempt from paying it? Kind regards, Kevan

Hi Iceverge, It needs to be built in a longitudinal direction, I have tweaked things slightly to get as the maximum room sizes for the footprint of the house! kind regards, Kevan.

It is going to be a SIP’s build so some walls we can alter as they shall be non load bearing!

The workshop can be 10 x 6 mtrs or 9 x 7mtrs, about 3 metres to eaves and 22.5 degrees pitch, 3 sides and roof shall be 40mm insulated cladding and front shall be silicone renderer board with 3mtr x 3mtr sectional garage door facing road

Hi Iceverge, Unfortunately the planners would never allow the garage to be built in front of the house and so close to the road!
