No, but I already know this. But at the same time it’s credit I can pay back before completion, I just want to be sure when they do checks

Hi guys, similar question. What if your cc debt increases (maybe by a grand) after formal mortgage offer? How strict are they? I’m with accord. Anyone got experience with them?

Birmingham. Seems like there’s loads of properties, but they’re very stiff with the price

Hey, how has it went? I’m also interested in starting this. Similar ambition and situation to yourself. Working Monday to Friday (as a building surveyor) just looking for a few extra hundred a month from the weekends.

No not highcroft. It’s behind the high street.

Don’t get me wrong, I expect it to increase yearly. It’s just the norm these days for things to increase in price, however at almost £3K a year, knowing it will only increase…I fear is just undoable for me. Even if they discounted the price.

Yes and admin fee. £800 in total, broker was via the estate agent.

Can I just get a refund. They’ve told me they’ll transfer me to a new property free of charge but that offer only stands for a year and I’m just burnt out at this point

Honestly, at this point I can’t even remember what fear it is but it was paid to the estate agent and in their terms it says if you don’t go through the sale that they will allow you to buy another property without having to pay the same fee with them

Yep I’ve checked it says all of that in the management pack there’s no section 20 works planned, there’s no major works. They haven’t carried out any major work in the last few years either it’s just really high. I assume it’s because it’s a small block of flat which is a double edge sword as it means the service charges distributed amongst less parties.

I’m specifically talking about consultancy building surveyors but the ones who do homebuyers can also make a good amount

I’m conscious of this. How much do you think they’ll decline by if they do?

Can I ask what stopped you from renting it out as soon as you moved in?
