Client has been offered land to rent (£250 a week within a trading estate), specifically so he can park up his vehicle and caravan and live on the site (hasten to add its bit of land not a caravan site, he's basically renting a patch of land with a outside water tap being the only facility).
In HB terms, i'm working on the basis its a erstwhile site charge (so exempt from LHA restrictions?), its the next bit that confuses me, does a rent officer do a rent evaluation on the basis of Caravan site charges in our area or the land value?
Any ideas, advice or inspiration to offset a gloomy monday and help the above client would be really really appreciated.
