no it hasnt been legally separated yet. it will be by the time we build though. but i think from what everyone has been saying we are not eligable

hmmm, i see the problem here, i will have nothing to prove its completion.

we are downhill! the main house has a septic tank but we are 25/30 metres away from that.

we will have one toilet, sink and shower in the bathroom, and a sink and washing machine in the kitchen. these will most probably come in time with us using a compost toilet and showering at the inlaws house for sometime until we can afford whatever system we settle on!

Does anyone have any idea if a caravan act compliant build would be eligible for the VAT claimback scheme? we will have a certificate of lawfulness for the build. i Have spoken to several people at hmrc and so far no one has any idea!

hi, we are working on building a caravan act compliant home in my inlaws garden! since lockdown we want to simplify our lives and build something fairly inexpensive and get our living expenses as low as possible so we dont have to kill ourselves to pay the mortgage! we currantly live in margate , we are awaiting a quote from a builder and have a quote from a company for basically a watertight box which we will then insulate and do the internals ourself... obviously our hope is the builder will be able to get us closer to a complete home... our main issue is sewage! the plot is quite small and ideally i would like something eco like an Aquatron, but we still have the issue of grey water and how to dispose of it. i have been going round in circles trying to work it out. we have no room for reed beds and any liquid would need to be pumped up to be dispersed into the inlaws garden... im worried that the cost will be too much. our budget is tight which is why i was initially drawn to the aquatron... im am now continuing my research into sewage treatment plants.... any leads towards a solution would be very helpful.
