Not sure what to do! Help!

Nah, Mandrose. Don't be too hasty about the mortgage. See what comes of it knowing that you could buy cash if needs be. Otherwise a loan for the extension if and when you do get it. If the house suits anyway, you may find that during the delay in getting planning permission etc and living in the house you may not want as big an extension as you initially thought but just a re-jigging and separate access with a little extra space.

Although a declined mortgage may not be a good thing on your CR.

EDIT: Does it show up as declined or just applied for? I don't know.

Thanks for you comments everyone. I'm definitely going to cancel the mortgage app for now, as like Jooley say's it probably wont look good on my CR if declined.

Since making my priority moving into the house and not worrying about mortgages, conversion etc. I feel a lot less stressed about everything! Mum and I sat and chatted today and we are both really, really excited now. One thing is for sure, I wont be moving again for many, many years!!
