You managed to get a mortgage on it in 2019 so it was clearly mortageable then.  It may be with more limited lenders now, it may not. But no one could foresee that at the time.., especially as you did get a mortgage yourself.

Yes its still mortgageable with limited lenders ive been told. However my buyer has pulled out as she thinks she won't be able to sell it on in the future, and she is most probably right. 
Its just 2 buyers have now pulled out and it makes selling my home even more difficult.  I really hope someone who wants to buy can get a lender. it just seems such a silly rule. 

It’s not a silly rule. Accommodation is getting smaller and smaller. People should respect the minimum space requirements. Bedsits used to have a separate kitchen. Sleeping next to where you cook is a recent thing driven by people trying to make as much money as possible 

Unfortunately land is at a premium in the uk. Its a small island which is overcroweded. 

The UK is not remotely overcrowded, just some bits of the south East because for some reason there's this strange idea that its a better place to live than the rest of it!

It's a bit small to spend lockdown, if there's no outside space.

No its been great, i have fields hills and woods around me. 

My niece and her husband have abandoned their small central London flat and moved in with her parents, out in the suburbs.  They were getting on top of each other working from home in the flat.

So they decided to be a nuisance to her parents as well instead of just to each other!

Some parents would be delighted to have their adult offspring return home for a time, particularly if the parents are living in a large home with garden.
I’ve offered both my “kids” to move back home.
