We have finished our new build and been signed off and are currently processing the VAT claim, we've been granted CIL relief as it is our forever home, however we want to go away for a month in the summer and were thinking of renting our house for 30 days, my question is, is this permitted with regard to the VAT claim and CIL regulations? I know we have to live in the property for 3year for the CIL and we plan on staying in the house long term and I know you can't claim VAT if your build to sell or let as a business, but can we just let it for 30 days without losing our CIL relief or ability to claim VAT? I've searched online and on this forum but can't find any info on if this is allowed? TIA!!

So we have managed to finish our new build and been signed off!! Never again!! We are doing the VAT claim and have claimed CIL exemption, with the CIL regulations we understand we have to live in our build for 3 years which we plan to do fingers crossed as it is our forever home, however we are planning to go on holiday for a month and would like to rent it out to get some money back, but wanted to know if this is allowed in regard to our VAT claim and CIL exemption? I've searched the forum but can't find any info on this, I know you are not allowed to rent for commercial or as a business, but this would literally just be short term literally 30 days to regain some of the money we have spent!! Does anyone have any insight as to if this is possible?!!
