It's all legal, standard practice to avoid paying an empty buildings tax introduced in 2007 on buildings, in our case waiting for demolition for redevelopment . There's a lot of artists studios and galleries already springing up in empty shops using the same loophole , one of the positives of the recession i guess. Our landlord specializes in helping start up businesses and organizations find premises on very short leases in Cambridge , whilst negociating with the owners on our behalf. Really spot on character . I imagine there must be something similar happening elsewhere too.
