Country life calls, but can you bear to share your home?

Article Abstract:

One way of offsetting the costs involved in purchasing and renovating an old house in the countryside can be to offer bed and breakfast accommodation. This can be very successful as long as the property will appeal to visitors and is in an attractive location. It is important to remember that a property in a very remote location will not attract passing trade, and this means that regular income will not be guaranteed. It is also vital to gain permission for change of use before purchasing a property.

Commitment-free in the country

Article Abstract:

It is possible to avoid the expense and commitment of a second home in the country by share-renting a cottage or farmhouse. This arrangement can work well, as long as all involved are prepared to negotiate all the details, such as responsibility for cleaning and purchasing supplies. However, some estate agents point out that in the long term renting a country property may prove no less expensive than purchasing one outright.
