You will most likely have to pay business rates if the address is registered as a business one. You can however seek a 50 per cent reduction if the rateable value is below £2500 per annum. You get a discount under the small business rate relief scheme - you have to ask for it, very few councils will just give it. From October this year the business rates on discounted properties will fall to zero - it was announced in the budget, the discount is for one year only.
Hope that helps.
