A client has a large home and has recently started to let out ground floor rooms as furnished holiday lets on a room only basis. Each room:
- is furnished and has an en suite bathroom;
- has a separate patio door/French door entrance; and
- has an access door to the main home which remains locked when the room is let so the guests do not have access to the rest of the house.
Each guest has access to part of the gardens and grounds for picnic/BBQ.
When the rooms are unoccupied they may be used by visiting family members free of charge and the interlocking doors are open to the rest of the house.
Is the position any different if one of the rooms was an attic room with separate outside access but with no interlocking door to the main house?
Do the lettings of the rooms qualify for rent...
