It is a normal condition on any mortgage that the mortgage company have your property as security.

I can understand you not wanting to give your main home as security, but for them to ask for the barn as security is perfectly normal.

Colin,

Sounds like a nightmare. What more can you do other than fitting one the gate hinges upside down as suggested?
