View original postDo other people in the building have kids? Presumably the new owner is within her rights to sublet it in this way?

Yes, there are some other families with children.

And we're not sure about whether she's allowed to do this. The title deeds state that it must be used for residential, and people are not allowed to run businesses from their flats, but whether holiday letting runs foul of either of these is about interpretation, I think. And the council can't do anything about it; we'd have to take a private law case against her and we're not sure it's worth that.


View original postI suppose I would make sure I supervised E in the garden, and if people who rent the flat seem sketchy or it gets to be terribly inconvenient, I would sell and move. I wouldn't be happy about it, but I am not sure what else you could do to protect her, which seems like the main concern.

It is, yes. We want to move in a couple of years anyway, but don't think we could afford to do it sooner.

Don't they need to apply for planning permission to do that? Aviendha - 15/11/2013 10:10:35 PM 1142 Views
Also doesn't she need to apply for change of use to holiday let from residential? Aviendha - 15/11/2013 10:12:59 PM 1084 Views
For the door, yes. For the holiday let, I don't think so. Rebekah - 16/11/2013 09:58:30 AM 1095 Views
Hm. Tricky, that. Legolas - 15/11/2013 10:38:57 PM 1162 Views

If there is anything you can do to fight it, do so Wibble - 16/11/2013 01:25:28 AM 1182 Views
Yes. Rebekah - 16/11/2013 10:03:03 AM 1131 Views
The most reasonable thing would be to cut a bitch. LiterateDog - 16/11/2013 02:47:42 AM 1195 Views
this sounds fully reasonable, yeah. temeraire - 16/11/2013 03:22:46 AM 1188 Views
Quite. Rebekah - 16/11/2013 10:06:43 AM 1032 Views
Cutting a bitch is always an answer. *NM* @my - 20/11/2013 02:20:06 PM 762 Views

Perhaps I don't grasp the gravity of the situation. Palatine - 16/11/2013 03:52:15 PM 1215 Views
It's more irritating that grave, but I do worry about security to an extent. Rebekah - 16/11/2013 07:47:02 PM 1011 Views

Re: I hear you. Rebekah - 18/11/2013 05:03:15 PM 1079 Views
do you let your child play unsupervised now? random thoughts - 16/11/2013 06:46:08 PM 1026 Views
Not precisely. Rebekah - 16/11/2013 08:01:54 PM 968 Views
Uh...isn't the nature of ownership that you can do what you want to with your property? Tom - 16/11/2013 10:27:05 PM 971 Views
Not always, according to what title deeds and zoning restrictions say. *NM* Rebekah - 16/11/2013 10:32:20 PM 519 Views
Well, then you do some research before you start a shit storm with your neighbors. *NM* Tom - 18/11/2013 03:42:43 PM 538 Views
Which obviously we have done, Tim being who he is and all. *NM* Rebekah - 18/11/2013 04:49:45 PM 547 Views
Well, so what is the neighbor doing wrong? *NM* Tom - 18/11/2013 05:50:25 PM 565 Views
It depends on interpretation, from what I understand. Rebekah - 18/11/2013 07:17:03 PM 1034 Views
Well, I'm not licensed in Scotland Tom - 19/11/2013 03:04:02 PM 991 Views
How is a short-term holiday rental not a business? LiterateDog - 19/11/2013 06:01:50 PM 1114 Views
For zoning purposes it's being used as a residence. Don't be daft. Tom - 20/11/2013 02:24:54 PM 1015 Views
It's not being used as a residence. No-one is living there. Rebekah - 20/11/2013 04:26:05 PM 1063 Views
The essence of the question was "Would you think it worth the bother to seek an injunction?" Tim - 19/11/2013 07:01:30 PM 1210 Views
I am a fan of British English usually, but not in the case of "flat". And yes, I'd go for interdict Tom - 20/11/2013 02:27:19 PM 1011 Views
Another lovely piece of Language peculiar to Scots Law... majander - 27/11/2013 04:34:23 PM 1133 Views
Though I always thought interdict was the Pope excommunicating an entire nation. *NM* Tom - 20/11/2013 02:30:23 PM 565 Views
Yes, but subject to limitations. Tim - 19/11/2013 07:03:40 PM 1454 Views
Yes, restrictive covenants. And those things can be unreasonable and still legal. Tom - 20/11/2013 02:29:45 PM 1021 Views
I would get the garden monitored with a camera Sports_Gambler - 17/11/2013 04:00:51 AM 1015 Views
Not a possiblity. *NM* Rebekah - 18/11/2013 07:17:35 PM 612 Views
I can't see much you can do really... Sports_Gambler - 19/11/2013 03:01:40 AM 1061 Views
Does the building have a factor? majander - 19/11/2013 11:38:43 AM 1012 Views
Yes indeed. Rebekah - 19/11/2013 07:13:06 PM 980 Views
