Found another type of spider at the new house recently, this time above the front door.

Apologies for the poor photos, but can anyone tell me what they are? I have looked on the link Mary-Anne has given me before and I reckon they maybe a type of comb footed spider but am far from sure...

They don't seem to be in a rush to go anywhere either, they have been around for two weeks now.

Advise please - can they stay or should they go?
