hi,
I'm looking to buy a new home house. I have seen a new house coming to the market, which has an attached 2 storey family flat to the main house. The family flat is a self-contained unit with its own front door, and a door inside connected to the main house.
I have found the planning permission online, it says "Two storey family flat at side of existing dwelling and extension of existing kitchen and demolition of existing single storey extension at side of dwelling." And in the planning permission it says "...make enclosed application for planning permission to the above address due the situation of overcrowding in the existing dwelling and to accommodate my daugter and her 2 children.."
As I have seen a few threads saying that legally you can't rent out a granny flat. In this case, it states as family flat, I'm wondering if i buy this house, can i rent out this family flat legally? and qualified for rent-a-room relief ?
many thanks in advance
