    Adding a bedroom

    Nick, have you made any progress on this? I was wondering the same thing myself - moreso for the future if we want to convert the dining area into a study/3rd bedroom (it has a window, is of bedroom dimensions)

    Time for some positive news!

    I'm sure they are unhappy, they'd have to be pretty unusual not to be? Whether they have any choice but to live with it is another matter! You wont find out whether they are really unhappy they are till theyve found a cheaper place and have given their weeks notice.
