We're renting and currently looking to move.
Saw a house today advertised as a 3 bed, it's got a converted cellar where the 3rd bed is, as well as a shower room and another room with kitchen type facilities in, so some potential to have it as a kind of annex however it's being rented out as one property.
I WFH full time and rather liked the idea of working in a separate part of the house away from the rest of the family...until I read the part that the house is registered for council tax as 2 dwellings so you have to pay 2 lots of council tax!
I have honestly never heard this before - although the cellar has its own front door there's also a connecting door from the house. And it's being marketed very much as one house, with the 3rd bed in the cellar (other 2 are on the first floor).
Although I did rather like the house, I can't afford an extra £100+ in council tax every month!
Has anyone else ever encountered this?
