Hi,
I just had a house valuation for my PPOR where I am undergoing renovations, I have upstairs and downstairs to be, also a free standing garage (own access ie 2 street frontage) which will have a bathroom. The valuer mentioned they wouldnt touch it (the bank) if I were to put a kitchenette in the garage as it would give potential for 3 living areas you could close off and rent them all out STCA, which wouldnt be allowed. Has anyone heard of this? this potentially ruins plans of making the garage a granny flat at a future date.
