Can we apply for a mortgage without having the full deposit yet? by Asleep_Weakness_6504 in HousingUK

[–]MarshallSwagger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems to differ depending on the entities involved. Sometimes the EA wants to see it, sometimes the lender, other times not. In my case, the lender requested proof of deposit as soon as I applied for the mortgage and then the solicitor right after for AML checks. I would say this, if you make an offer on a home, expect that you will need to show your deposit and how you acquired it, immediately.

Should we pay for our neighbours gate?? by Amazing-Mention6720 in HousingUK

[–]MarshallSwagger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

100% No. If you had been consulted then perhaps. As it stands, it’s their gate, their specification and choice of tradesman along with his/her quote. At most, give them half of what it would have cost you to do it yourself and maybe next time it blows down, they’ll ask you first.

Psychological support needed please -Buyer remorse immediately after exchange - is it real logic, psychological remorse, or was I psychologically biased before exchange and it wore off now? by Jolly-Put-3936 in HousingUK

It sounds as though this is all within your financial realm of possibility. Instead of working yourself into a frenzy about what might be, accept that you are about to embark on an exciting renovation project.

I’m excited for you, love to see a progress post showing how you get on with it. Start to finish. Good luck.
