I think the nursery is completely stuffed unless I find an expert tax advisor

[Katymac]

I had a phone call this morning from the people who own the barn

Their accountant has pulled up the problem that the increased value of the barn will be subject to inheritance tax & theywon't be able to afford it

So this may stop them leasing me the barn

I need a tax advisor asap as I need to solve this problem & present them with a solution

I feel so gutted and am sitting here weeping at the computer & then feeling so guilty as it's only a bloody business & nobody died or anything

Fortunatley the childminding supports my family

If I could get land I would

I also priced up a log cabin for the size I need it was about £125 by the time it was erected, with drains/elec etc

Will you keep the childminding business running then?

Absolutely with DH in charge

Very sensible.

I'd still think twice about taking on that sort of debt though.

You haven't taken advice from that list from a solicitor though and it's a complex thing you're setting up. I think it would be worth paying for half an hour's advice from a property lawyer.

Sorry forgot to mention my uncle (the solicitor) and y dad (the management consultant)
