Oh dear,think you'll have to rephrase that!I have been into cottaging for years0 -
Buy a frickin' holiday home then... not a piggin' house ... you'd be depriving a local of ever living anywhere near where they grew up. At the moment most have to leave the county to get jobs/homes.you misunderstood me.
I wanto to buy the cottage as a holiday home but the Estate Agncieues and the council are not going ot approve it as I live from not in the area.
You are very hard to understand, to be honest. Your English is cr4p0 -
no, obviously not.
I have been into cottaging for years having visited George Stephensons, William Wordsworths, Anne Hathwaways, Ludivic Kennedies, and lots more.
I and my husband have been lookng at moving to Cornwall for years but for various reasons we keep hitting hurdles...

Didn't know what that meant, I do now

Who precisely is telling you what that makes you think you can't buy in Cornwall?
What have you actually asked about? Where? What are they saying?
Just intrigued as it's the first I've heard ... unless the sellers, individually, are refusing to sell to people who want it as a holiday home, but it seems odd that you would find so many.
Or are you making this all up becuase you have mental health issues and the tablets are downstairs, while you're upstairs sat beside an empty bottle of vodka?0 -

there are many areas in devon and cornwall where the council use bylaws to stop 'outsiders' purchasing certain types of houses.
i moved jobs and a few of the houses i looked into buying were limited to people who have lived and worked in the area for 2 years.
starter homes or first time buyer type homes are the main ones.what is the plural of moose?

Absolutely, or they have a Section 106 Agreement on them, are agriculturally tied etc.
But that still leaves, probably, about 90 -95% of the houses in Cornwall up for grabs.
I agree Dervish is short on specifics, and it wouldn't be the first time, but I think some of you have gone a bit 'playground' here.0 -
You'd think a restriction like that would be indirectly racist.0

PMSL - I had never heard of this - you got to love google!This signature was previously violated by my wife, that'll learn me to stay perma logged in.
Fortunately, the offending comments have now been removed - my apologies to all who had to read it and laugh at my expense.0
