Advice on mobile home

[SMC93]

Good morning everyone!
looking for some advice sorry I will keep this as short as possible.
currently living in uk - originally from ROI. Granny has agreed to sell her house to myself- unable to get a mortgage or even a holiday home mortgage as too strict for me at present.
was thinking about moving back and living in a mobile home until I have more money gathered and consistent savings and working- this would save on rent etc but I do have a 5 month old! I do have a space on my granny’s where an old mobile home is sitting so there’s that- anybody got any advice as I’m coming up against brick walls constantly and all I want to do is go home ❤️

Has Granny land? Does the existing mobile home have planning permission? Are you planning to move into the old one or replace it? You might want to ask the Local Council for what you may need to apply for. Or could you just move in with Granny? That would be simple.
And do you have childcare? Under 1yos childcare is near impossible to find in Ireland these days.

Hi thanks for your reply. So I planned to replace the old one and it’s on her land. Moving in would be ideal but she has stated she dosent want me moving in 😭 it would make things so much easier but she maybe thinks I won’t buy the house then which isn’t the case. I have loads of family around which will help me with childcare as I’m in the uk I’m totally alone here literally don’t have a soul around me or even in the uk

From that article, I think if you live with Granny on paper, your post etc goes there, and the mobile home is a "secondary dwelling " you may not need planning. But you'd have to agree that with Granny and talk to the County Council

Where is Granny going when you buy her house off her?

She’s going to live with me - she has very bad health so I am going to block off abit of the house for a “granny flat” honestly I know how it sounds it makes more sense for me to move in with her and get things sorted but she dosent want that

Kind of odd alright that she is happy to live with you at some time in the future but not now, is it the small child maybe, not everyone does well with small kids, that said it's only more active they get!

Anyway reason I asked is that she is then going to need a right of residence in the house which can be an issue mortgage wise too so maybe look into that too. It may not be that straightforward but if you're not talking about a large mortgage a credit union might suit better than a bank, they are often a bit less restrictive with things like this.
