A question about : Bad Investment. Help Martin, anyone!

3 years ago I invested Ј10,000 to go into partership in developing a property in order to rent it out. Lets say it was a beginning of a property developement venture.

Things didn't go as smoothly as first expected and my partner whent through financial difficulty and a failed marriage etc.

This year we tried to salvage the operation and I ploughed another Ј13,000 into the project. Alas last month the house was reposessed leaving me with a loss of Ј23,000. I've borrowed Ј10,000 from my parents and am now well in debt.

Can I offshoot this loss as a business loss against any future tax I may have to pay. Basically is there any way of coming out of this with anything other than a bad investment loss!!!
