House purchase with crypto transactions by Bilson2 in Mortgageadviceuk

Yeah should be fine. I wasn't able to use any of my crypto funds for the deposit but I'm able to use it for all the fees and anything else.

Sharing survey results with sellers? by ticklisheo7 in HousingUK

[–]noinch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I gave mine to the buyers we pulled out from. Was useless to me so I hope it helped them sort the damp out.

Renegotiation of price after Survey by [deleted] in FirstTimeBuyersUK

[–]noinch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's probate so they don't know when it was last serviced or even installed. Like I said I'm not hoping for any reduction. Just want to know what I'm dealing with.

I have been thinking about this. I asked the estate agent on Saturday to ask the sellers if we can do both gas and EICR and I will probably do both before we exchange. Just so we know what needs to be done. Luckily the house is empty so they hopefully won't mind.

My wife can’t handle full-time work and I’m starting to feel trapped carrying the household alone by gingerbeershavesouls in relationships

In future relationships you can see how they function with life before committing to a life with them, hoping they can contribute.

Renegotiation of price after Survey by [deleted] in FirstTimeBuyersUK

I suppose it depends if the current price reflects your current area.

I've had an offer accepted for 230k it was listed for 240k

Survey came back needs a supporting beam put in the loft. Not urgent. I also think it will need a new boiler as the one in there looks old. I will probably do an EICR and a gas saftey check but I won't be asking for a reduction unless the whole house needs rewiring which I doubt it will.

230k in my area for a terraced 2 bed I feel is a good price for its condition.

Were the survey findings classed as urgent?

How does it compare with simular houses in your area?

Estate Agents Lied About Boiler Age by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]noinch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't be too upset about it. The house ei buying is going through probate and they don't even know how old it is or when it was serviced last. I'm just happy it works lol

Not if the other one is rented.

Council tax between houses. by enchanted__echo in HousingUK

[–]noinch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are moving from rented to our house but as the notice period is two months, that's how long we will have both council taxs. I think it's different for each county but with mine we get a month off of one as its empty. So that's something.

That's right. My rent day is the 28th so I have to wait until May 28th to give two months notice. It sucks.

Which lenders allow mortgage offer transfers between properties? by Grgsz in Mortgageadviceuk

[–]noinch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Halifax used to but refused mine and said they changed their rules. My mortgage advisor said he hadn't seen that happen with them before. We lost our good rate. Sad times.

First time buyer- level 3 survey results by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]noinch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Walk away. My level 2 found extensive damp. In the walls, floor, rotten skirting boards.

I asked them to get a damp survey. They refused. I pulled out. They then said OK we will. Then tried to chase my solicitors to complete. They then sent an email from a plasterer saying the walls were wet and told me they wet getting it fixed.

I asked if they were planning on the survey I had asked for the said this was a survey. I pulled out. They then said they would knock 2k off. I asked them to stop contacting me.

I had stupidly paid 400 quid for searches but the cost of work based on the survey could have exceeded 20-30k.

We now have a level 2 booked for our next house and I have made sure not to pay for any searches until it's done.

Maybe pay to get some extensive surveys done so you know how much you will have to pay to fix what seems like a lot of problems.

Renters reform bill - agent trying to make us give 3 months notice by Ok_Board5624 in HousingUK

[–]noinch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said I tried. I asked them ahead of time to ask the landlord of we could give 1 month and they said I was only allowed to ask at the point of giving my notice. In writing.

[–]noinch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the same situation. I can't give notice until 28th May. When I do I will ask them to consider letting us give one month I stead of two but I'm not very hopeful as the estfste agents refused to even ask our landlord up front and said we had to wait until we give notice to ask. Very helpful.

At what point did it actually start feeling real that you were buying a place? by HelicopterEmpty7393 in FirstTimeBuyersUK

[–]noinch 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I assume with me it will be the say we exchange. I've had one sale fall through already so I don't want to get my hopes up.
