I wondered if it would be viable or an attractive proposition to offer 25 hours work a week to renovate a ruin or existing old stone building to a holiday let standard. By a couple in exchange for staying on the land by the cottage/ruin.
I understand you can submit planning notice that you are renovating farm buildings which is not subject to approval and gives you the right to put a caravan near the work for 4 years.
Would this be an attractive proposition or a fair exchange? I was thinking of a 6-9 month period. Materials would have to be purchased by the owner. having a holiday let cottage renovated in exchange for siting the caravan for 6-9 months? interested to hear forum thoughts.
