    I should imagine the property was originally intended as a single dwelling, but at some stage has been converted to include the annexe. However if it has never been registered as a separate dwelling (i.e. for council tax purposes) then I don't see how it could be considered "let" to a "tenant".

    This is probably crucial.

    I don't know what the mortgage companies would make of it. Can you get a residential mortgage for a house and an annexe when you're going to rent the annexe out?
