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? - 15/11/2013 10:10:35 PM 1144 Views
For the door, yes. For the holiday let, I don't think so. - 16/11/2013 09:58:30 AM 1097 Views

The most reasonable thing would be to cut a bitch. - 16/11/2013 02:47:42 AM 1201 Views
this sounds fully reasonable, yeah. - 16/11/2013 03:22:46 AM 1193 Views
Quite. - 16/11/2013 10:06:43 AM 1034 Views

Perhaps I don't grasp the gravity of the situation. - 16/11/2013 03:52:15 PM 1216 Views
It's more irritating that grave, but I do worry about security to an extent. - 16/11/2013 07:47:02 PM 1013 Views

Not precisely. - 16/11/2013 08:01:54 PM 971 Views
Uh...isn't the nature of ownership that you can do what you want to with your property? - 16/11/2013 10:27:05 PM 975 Views
Yes, but subject to limitations. - 19/11/2013 07:03:40 PM 1455 Views
