So two things have happened –
- We have received an electronic and paper copy of the survey on the new property. When it mentions the outbuilding it says that it is single-skinned and doesn’t have a damp proof course. This will make it a lot more work and money to get it converted into habitable accommodation. So, instead of an annexe or holiday let it could become the new home for my model railway. But…
- There was also the good news that they have increased the Stamp Duty limit to £500k. As we had already arranged the mortgage to include the Stamp Duty we will now have that money left over after completion. This will give us a bit to spend on doing the place up but whether it would be enough to convert the outbuilding we will have to see.
