It would be worth checking that the property has planning permission for conversion from single person/family house (C3 Use Class) to multiple occupancy/HMO use (C4 Use Class).
Assuming it does, and you wish to return it to a single person/family house (C3 Use Class), then the works should be 5% VAT rated. May be of interest if you are planning to undertake building works.
Had some ridiculously good help a few weeks back when I viewed a house in st werbs in Bristol. Thanks all. Can't believe how quickly it sold and do wonder what it went for.
Viewed this today, which went up at 25k more a few weeks back and sold before the board even went up. Buyers (family) pulled out because it needed structural work (I think cracking in the walls on one side, but I didn't see anything).

Had been a HMO, currently empty. Windows and door are horrible but easily fixed. Kitchen looked okay. Electrics, no idea but most rooms had one socket only. Waiting on the estate agent to send the survey over. Worst bit, someone extended downstairs (where the bathroom is) and got rid of the courtyard garden in so it just has that tiny channel.
