The vast majority of my work requires editing on a computer. I am fortunate to have a house with 2 bedrooms, one of which I use as a work space. However, the plan was to rent an office that I could work at so that the second bedroom can become something else. I was initially going to rent from Ratio Studios, but they are going to charge upwards of 250 pounds per month and I have looked elsewhere and it is all either more expensive or not suitable. I started looking into building a garden office as they have grown in popularity lately and it seems like a popular option for the modern working household. I can physically separate my work life from my home life but still have easy access to my work whenever I'm home. If I were to pay the 250 per month to rent an office, over 2 years it would cost me £6,000 on rent alone, not including travel (40 minute drive). At the end of those two years I would simply be down the costs and although I can use it against my tax, it still seems too much money. £6,000 could get me a really nice 4x3m insulated garden office and I could get the funding via a bank loan and pay it back over several years. If I paid it back over 5 years it would cost around 90-100 pounds per month, and at the end of that time I will still have the office. This is something to seriously consider for my professional development and the also the benefit of my home. If anyone reading this wishes to donate a couple thousand pounds, just give me an email and I'll be happy to assist!
