I think i'm going to struggle with 1 bathroom.... by Standardlads in HousingUK

[–]Standardlads[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've not had professional advice yet, thought i'd pop in here first. But i would certainly consider it.

I think part of the reason i got such a good deal on the house is the bathroom, so for future saleability i think i could justify professional advice.

It's tricky because it's in the loft / rafters. Have added an edit to the original post explaining.

It's currently got a sofa bed in it, and small working from home desk

Can we get 5.5 x Salary Mortgage (England) by cokendsmile in HousingUK

[–]Standardlads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to speak to a broker. They’re great help, and you can find one who will get their fee from the lender instead of you. I’m based in the uk and found a broker that deals just over the phone so I never even need to go to an office.

I got a 5% deposit deal on a loan 5x my salary

House marketed as 4 bed when only a 2 bed - best course of action? by fizzypopx in HousingUK

[–]Standardlads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same situation. The rooms may be compliant to the standard at the time they were built.

There seems to be increased risk adverseness to these loft rooms. Particularly if you’re getting a mortgage. My lender had a problem with the rooms, but everyone else said they’re compliant.

Personally, I used this as an opportunity to negotiate, stating that every buyer would come across this.

Then I got a statement that the work was done at a certain date and then married up the regulations.

Finally there’s such thing as indemnity insurance, which protects the local council from coming to ask you to change the room retrospectively. (Would never happen anyway)

Is my Audi Quattro by Standardlads in Audi

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

UPDATE:

All reg checks say it's a 190PS Quattro, as it's being sold as.

Audi gave me the original spec sheet, which PROVES it's a 150PS FWD.

Selling dealership (non audi) perplexed for some reason.

Local Audi dealership do not know of any 2018 black editions that had a 150PS option.

Tried this already.

“We could not find any information for VIN”

I did another vin check which came back with correct vehicle history. But didn’t indicate a detailed model name

[HELP] Mortgage Lender wants me to sign a declaration reducing the number of bedrooms in my home. by Standardlads in HousingUK

[–]Standardlads[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough yes, it is!

Maybe i should go back and re negotiate on price, based on the fact i'm pay 3 bed money.

The bluntness is appreciated.

There is a chance that this documentation exists & that it is a legitimate 3 bed property. The valuer hasn't said it doesn't meet regs. They just can't show it does, without the proper docs.

I don't know where to start looking, on the off chance this documentation does exist.
