From a mortgage point of view, not every lender will consider a live / work property. The first thing you need to find out is what the designated split is between the live and the work element.

You need to have somewhere to live as your main residence. So if the work/living property isn't your main residence where do you live?Comment

Originally posted by hgllgh View PostBIK applies to benefits for employees ... this transaction would be separate ... as in my LTD purchasing business premises. Then, as I understand these live/work units, you are then allowed to reside there as your main residence?
HMRC allows your company to pay for it's employees and directors to live in temporary accommodation so your company can provide services to it's clients. However the employees and directors must have a separate main residence. This separate main residence is where the employees and directors live when they don't have a contract.
If you don't have a separate main residence then there are regulations covering providing employees and directors with accommodation. One of the accountants, Clare@InTouch, has posted links to this which I suggest you read."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

no mention of business rates with this one but there are others on the site that do, so maybe some have separate entrances/self contained for the work area?Comment
