Lord Geordie Posted January 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Hope it works out mate. It should be fine! I would hope there is a little room to negotiate with the vendor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted January 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Rang the vendor, who has asked me to provide a report from the independent valuer! So hopefully that's posted through my door tomorrow! Then take a trip to the vendors office and drop it off. Had a word with my Mortgage advisor, who assures me that EITHER way, I should still be eligible for the mortgage So now I just await the report, deliver the report and wait for the correspondence from the vendor to wether they will reduce the price, or stand firm! All very trying stuff! I am pacing back and forth like an expecting father in a waiting room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally they will only lend to the valuation price. Depends of course how much deposit you are putting down. If the house has been on the market for a while then it will put you in a good position to negotiate down from. £5k isn't a lot to come down by but it all depends on how desperate the seller is to sell and whether there is other interest in the house. I really do hope it works out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wandringstar Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 my brother aged 51, just got the ok on a huge mortgage after 15 years of renting, he got taken by 2 ex-wives and clawed himself back, he is self employed for 5 years, and managed to get a deposit and some good figures, but the hoops he had to jump through were unbelievable, i actually thought he hadnt got it as it was so intense and so full of requirements. the first wife has 3 houses that she has managed to collect over the years, and the second has 2. he detests them both with a passion.

Lord Geordie Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Been to officially accept the offer today, the vendor said they were happy to send an impartial valuer out, but if he found the house to be worth more, the cost would go up accordingly. So I did a little research and found the houses are between 74k - 89k on the street! So the 75k seems fine. Solicitor called today, and are sending out a pack this week, with accordance of terms and conditions forms, a declaration for stamp duty etc! And I am to fill these in, and pay a £300 deposit so they can sort out the searches etc. And the Bank are sending new papers with the amended amounts that I can sign and make a start! Bricking my pants here, but also mega pleased. Chris and I have all the money ready for the deposit, and conveyancing bills. So just need to wait now and see how long the process takes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were having some building work recently and the wife asked the builder to make a cupboard larger. Before she could fill it with her stuff I had another gun cabinet in there. Result.
