Running a Practice from Home?

Posted by dtweats PM | on Tue, 24/05/2011 - 21:31 5016 23 comments | report

Having recently been house-buying, I have been reminded that most modern houses have a restrictive covenant which says that you are not permitted to run a business from the premises.

I was just wondering how those accountants running a practice from home deal with such restrictions? Do you ask for permission, or just ignore them?
