I had a fully remote contract back around 2010, first infant son just born, so no way would I get anything done at home. Borrowed an empty flat from someone who was abroad and kept an eye on it for them whilst using it as my office. Then rented a terrible little office space with no windows and suffered that for a while. Finally bought a decent office/workshop through the Ltd. Was going to rent most of it out to cover costs, but the mortgage was never that much, so I have not bothered yet.
The important thing for me is to get out of the house! I would like to find a contract where I go on-site a few days a week also, I do like to meet the people I work with. Maybe don't want to sit next to them and their annoying habits all day every day like the in the bad old days - but I think face time really helps.
