Listed building for sale as a holiday let. Possibility of applying for a change use to residential?

If it was possible to make that change surely the current owners would have done so. (And might be viewing...).

Or are they your fairy godmothers?

Presumably its price also takes into consideration the restriction?

I'd have thought the vendors would have sought to have the restriction lifted before marketing it, to allow the property to achieve a higher price and/or make it attractive for a larger number of buyers - making it easier to sell.

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer. I’m very grateful. I think you’ve summed up by options. Either I buy it as it is and accept the condition or walk away!

How are you funding the purchase? If a (standard residential) mortgage then your only options are to get the consent first or walk away.

I’ve definitely decided to walk away! Thanks all for your advice!
