@Broch, thank you
It's the comments among the small print that end up being the sticking point, " Offers potential as a house plot, subject to the correct local authority permissions being obtained."....and this on an 'owner occupied croft... of 1.67 acres.
My bold on the emphasis.
I think everyone's trying to make a bit of cash tbh and there are some really not clear deals on offer. Caveat emptor, etc..
The family I mentioned have decided that unless it's absolutely right, they're just going to keep saving and just wait and see. They're not going to dive into the first thing that turns up and then regret it. The wife has just finished her masters, and they're both working, but in a way that would make moving simple. They were offered five times their salaries as a mortgage. They were both horrified. Imagine owing five times their salaries ? They've a healthy deposit, but that and 5x would make it a ridiculous sum. They want a home and a lifestyle, but not a millstone of debt.
