[QUOTE="n&s, post: 3175610, member: 59096"] Thanks GTB I based the hours on about 3 days work a week as we would still be working to earn a living too. Would it be better to work more hours but to have a pay arrangement? My thinking was to have little to nil cost for the landowner being a more attractive prospect. But as I understand you would rather pay to have this type of work done? if you had an old ruin/shed etc that you'd always wanted to renovate but did not have cashflow to allow that would this then be more viable? Or is the risk or potential for hassle outweigh the potential benefit? As I put in other post we own property in London so would return there (unfortunately) would this make any difference to your position or worry about squatters? (My partner used to actually evict squatters in the 90's as his profession! funnily enough) As I understand from the majority here being stuck with a tenant would be the main understandable worry. If you were to work out something like this what hours v pay would you think reasonable? We both have building exp by the way and have both done our own builds and worked in the trade. I would not class us as master joiners or anything but to renovate a one room/small holiday let I would think well within capabilities. I have done some limework with old buildings and Plastering, tiling, carpentry and all the laying out for 1st fix sparkies and plumbing would be the kind of thing I was thinking. For electrics and plumbing they would in need to be inspected and signed off by a pro. finishing and decorating of course would also be in our tasks. I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on this its extremely useful. Thank you [/QUOTE]
