Oh wise and benevolent PropertyTalkers...
I am investigating a property that has three dwellings on a single title. A bungalow, and a two-story building that has as far as I can tell always been two separate dwellings, rather than an afterthought conversion.
At present, the two-story building is let to two separate tenancies, while the bungalow is being used as a PPOR.
Is there anything I would fall foul of by buying and renting all three out to separate parties? I personally can't see how this would be any different legally to a house-and-minor-dwelling situation, but something in the back of my mind is telling me I wouldn't be allowed to rent these out if I didn't live on site.
Can anyone please clarify for this particular property? And if it's ok, maybe also let me know what the nagging in the back of my mind is referring to - I'm sure there's such a rule somewhere, that applies in some circumstances.
