The worries nobody puts in an email.
Extra income is only useful if the arrangement is worth living with. Access, neighbours, responsibilities and how it ends matter just as much as the proposal on paper. Here are four questions worth asking early.
Can I stop?
You can decide against a proposal before signing a site agreement. Once an arrangement is agreed, its duration, notice and handback terms matter. We put those in writing before you commit, including what happens to any equipment or works. If you cannot find that in plain English in a document you are being asked to sign, do not sign it, and that applies to us as much as to anyone else.
Will it affect my relief?
It might. Changing what a building is used for can affect its inheritance tax position, and the rules on Agricultural Property Relief and Business Property Relief changed again in April 2026. We are not tax advisers and we will not pretend to be.
Ask your accountant before you commit to anything, and ask them early rather than after the fact. If a route we suggest looks likely to cause you a tax problem, we will flag it in the Passport so you know to ask, but the answer has to come from someone who knows your affairs.
What about the neighbours?
Sometimes it is a problem. Traffic, noise, dogs and lights are the four that come up, and they come up more when nobody was told in advance. Where we think it is a real risk on a particular site, the Passport marks the route amber and says why, rather than leaving you to discover it after the first weekend.
Is it worth the hassle?
Sometimes it is not, and we will say so. If the likely benefit does not justify the costs and disruption, that is a no. We would rather tell you than walk you through it and let you work it out yourself six months in.
