Hello,
I need advice for my friend who is a Childminder.
She need to move her business from home (personal issues) so she starts to look for house/flat to rent.
Unfortunately it looks like it is very difficult...
She tried contact private landlords (and still keeping eye on that) and then she tried through the agencies. She have contacted about 5 of them but they said (what surprised me a lot) that they will not help her as it is illegal to have a business in the rented property...
I know that it is legal and they probably just lazy about it.. (She even spoke to OFSTED about that)
What she can do?
How she can find a landlord who will agree for the business if she can't do it through the agency?
Please help.. She needs to move ASAP and she doesn't want to loose her outstanding business...
Did you have similar situation?
