Brothel, health practice i.e. physio or any other business where you have clients who will visit the premise.

They also don't want you to set up a workshop in the building and cause loads of noise. (Mind you if you do that in a freehold house and have neighbours expect someone from the council to come knocking.)

They don't care if you run a clerical type business or do admin work but they don't want visitors who will annoy the neighbours and possibly cause insurance problems for them.

I do not think you would have any problems with simply working from home, especially as you are unlikley to have streams of visitors coming to the house etc.

How much should i take note of this? Can they really prevent me registering my Ltd Co at a house I've purchased?

Will be discussing with my solicitor when we sit down, but trying to work out if it's worth discussing at all!

Wouldn't worry about it.

Its a standard leaseholder clause, they can't stop you doing anything before the event but they can challenge it if they are upset enough about it. I don't think you have anything to worry about working from home.

House buying - leasehold

Just had the searches back from the solicitor and on the leasehold, there is the following restriction:

Only use the property for residential purposes

How much should i take note of this? Can they really prevent me registering my Ltd Co at a house I've purchased?

Will be discussing with my solicitor when we sit down, but trying to work out if it's worth discussing at all!
