One more question! Have any of you had a problem getting a residential mortgage on a property with an annexe? Thanks! No - this is what we do. it's a bit of a grey area however and it depends how much you wish to disclose to your mortgage provider. full disclosure will likely just give them a heada...

I have a two bedroomed cottage that sleeps a max of 4. I started out washing, drying and ironing myself to start with but never again. Well only in an emergency if there's a problem somehow.

strange one!
Okay a bit of a strange one here but I'll keep it brief. Got a call last night from a Romanian woman living in Aberdeen saying that she wanted to book for a week starting today.
