Hi

First of all a bit about i am 21 recent university graduate, who is wanting to stretch himself. Which is what brings me here....

My scenario is my parents have a smallish size outbuilding out the bottom of there garden, which is currently just used for collecting nothing but dust.

It is good solid structure , it has had electric to it at one point, but no pluming.

My plan is to turn it into 1 bed/ studio that will be rented out to the winter skiing trade and thought the year for tourist. As i am based in the heart of the Scottish whiskey trail in an area of Scotland Called Morayshire.
I must stress this is a long term plan and this project is by no means to be a money spinner its purely thinking of long term plans because personal circumstances will one day been need for family to live.

So what i am after are item and things that i will need to watch out for E.g will the building have to be grade for council tax purposes will i even be allowed to convert it. If anyone has had experience of this how did they fair.

Would also be good if you could point me in a direction for learning material from the internet/ books

thank you for taking the time to read this

Chris
