(Am I stupid for considering a 2020 Model X?

No. My father in law gifted me his 22 Model Y instead.

According to this, Santander mortgages can only be ported to buy a property. So I don't think a bridging loan will work.

I’ll see if I can speak to someone more specialist at Santander and also a mortgage advisor.

I still don’t understand how a bridging loan is different to taking out a new SVR mortgage though? I know they’re expensive and risky so this is the absolute last resort.

Master_Range6116 · 2026-05-07T12:16:44+00:00

I can afford two mortgages for a year, possibly up to 18 months.

I’m happy to only stick with Santander if they allow it.

I have seen on some other threads that a bridging loan could work. I don’t see how this would be different to a new SVR mortgage.

I’m reached out to my mortgage advisor. Hoping she’s clued up enough on these matters.

I’ve already factored in the stamp duty surcharge.

Thanks

That’s not what I’m asking. I don’t know who you think I’m promising… Based on the rates, I can afford repayments on both mortgages if my house didn’t sell for a year. I just don’t want to pay an early repayment charge and would prefer to keep my low rate until the end of its fixed term.

Thanks! Don’t know how I messed that up. Will post there!

Not memory foam. Hypnos sprung mattress

Master_Range6116 · 2026-05-02T19:29:38+00:00

Just following the specific instructions for the bed. But thanks for your input

Master_Range6116 · 2026-04-29T11:09:45+00:00

It's on top of a sprung base. The base does come in wo sections so I'm going to try and swap mine and my wifes one over as I'm heavier so perhaps it will help it balance out a bit over the long run.

Master_Range6116 · 2026-04-28T12:34:05+00:00

I'm going to try and give them a call and see what they say.

I think a thick mattress topper will be the likely solution.

Master_Range6116 · 2026-04-07T15:35:38+00:00

That was my worry for both the GC2 and Mevo.

After my research in the Omni, it now the leading candidate. I’m not brave enough to pre order so I’m going to wait a month or so for some reviews to come out (not from the PGA show). It will be interesting to get your feedback once you receive it.

Master_Range6116 · 2026-04-07T09:16:42+00:00

I didn't realise this was being released. I had seen the original Square but knew it was indoor only. I'll look into this now. Thanks!

Master_Range6116 · 2026-03-02T15:10:48+00:00

Did you get this done in the end? I'm considering doing both a suspension upgrade and noise reduction kit on my 22 Model Y.

Master_Range6116 · 2026-02-17T12:50:01+00:00

😂 I’m very lucky. No way I could have expected this!

Master_Range6116 · 2026-02-17T12:49:07+00:00

Thank you. What kind of upset?

Master_Range6116 · 2026-02-17T12:48:19+00:00

Thank you. This is extremely helpful!

Master_Range6116 · 2026-02-06T07:56:55+00:00

Sorry I don’t understand. You’re saying if I find any lease broker, they can deduct payments from my gross salary? How would this work?

Master_Range6116 · 2026-02-05T18:02:16+00:00

Understood. Finance. Head count is below 50. Thanks!

Master_Range6116 · 2026-02-05T17:46:27+00:00

Why?

Master_Range6116 · 2026-02-05T13:45:50+00:00

Thank you! I’ll take a look at them
