So we are trying to buy an old farmhouse off our in-laws, had a building survey done today, told we are unlikely to get a standard mortgage (no surprise there!), have a structural engineer in next week, but looks like we are going to be going down the self-build\renovation mortgage approach, anyone ever done this?
Quite excited by the potential, although some of the cracks are interesting...
Yep potential is what we are buying, plus the fact that the nearest neighbours are a couple of miles away...
Think i'm most excited by all the outbuildings, the house is the building at the front, the three other outbuildings are all stone barns and the old diary and milking parlour.
