Two of them have 25ml measures and the other is 35ml hence the one in the right looks slightly lower. Will put a 25ml when I next go in there. Hope this helps lol

Just don't go with Malvern Garden Buildings. They are really really shit. Awful quality, disgruntled installers. Horrendous experience with them.

Just one criticism, Where are the bleeding pork scratchings
Am waiting for my toe nails to grow. Will then bag em and pass off as pork scratchings.

Surely the correct answer is to replace the other two with 35s.. ?

If there has been any personal usage, then CGT would not apply as the GH is deemed to be part of principal private residence. Arguably, CGT could apply if the GH is bought by a limited company and used solely for business, albeit HMRC is hardly going to be able to prove that is the case. Personally, I think that is a bad idea as it adds complexity to selling the house (on the assumption that GH would go with the house) as inclusion of a commercial property will put many potential buyers off.
Perhaps more relevant is that whilst the building itself is not eligible for capital allowances (or even the 3% pa structures and buildings allowance), providing electrical and plumbing services, and equipping the office would be. If CAs are claimed, need to be careful when selling as balancing charges may apply.
Entirely irrelevant to this point but one that I forgot before is the insurance cost. Our premium was £152pa for a £15k building, which seems expensive; we went for it as we are well into the insurance year for main house and wanted to keep under one policy, but will be researching more on renewal. Be interested in any alternatives.
