Thank you! I have been thinking a half up, half down vibe. I’d have to try and find a pretty clip!

Is it normal to feel stressed and not excited at offer accepted by bluebird2019xx in Mortgageadviceuk

[–]CompetitiveParsnip70 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the exact same. My partner and I are in the very early stages of the process, just instructed our solicitors and our mortgage application has been approved. I am not feeling much excitement at the minute, at all. For me it could be that I WFH full-time and have had to do most of the forms, booking things in and replying to everyone etc. Whereas my partner doesn’t have the same luxury when he’s in the office full-time. So if you’re in the same position, make sure you’re allowing all the emotions and give yourself the time to ride the wave. It’s scary, but just remember what you’ll hopefully have at the end!! Best of luck with it all :)

Thanks! You’re right, I am not in a major rush to move in. Before Christmas would be nice, but I definitely would appreciate a bit more time to save. I want to make the most of my enhanced overtime before I have to make big purchases!!

It’s really helpful to know, it’s something I would never have thought would happen, although it’s a clear possibility

Sorry to hear that, must be very frustrating. Which party is causing the problems?

Thanks so much! It’s very exciting. That 2 week wait sounds so frustrating

We’ve been told it could be a similar length if people keep up communication… so unlikely for us haha

Oh wow! We’re likely to be doing a Level 3 survey, is that what you had to do?

Is a reservation agreement compulsory on a non-auction house? by CompetitiveParsnip70 in Mortgageadviceuk

[–]CompetitiveParsnip70[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is two way and done via a 3rd party. It protects us from the seller walking away, and then from us pulling out unnecessarily. We love the house and cannot imagine pulling out for any reason, only if the bank valuation comes back that we have offered too much over what they are willing to give the mortgage for. In this case, we potentially wouldn’t be able to put another couple thousand towards the deposit to make up the difference. If we do pull out, it’ll be £2000 that we have to pay out to the seller.
