PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Fingers crossed for you this time then.

Not too worried about the mortgage - it's an employee one, and ignores one income completely. More worried about seller getting cold feet: low valuation not a worry, since that's a negotiating position, ditto problems in survey. Or an unrelated disaster, like one of us being run over by a gritting lorry or being diagnosed with some swift, rare and very fatal disease (I have imagination). We've never done this in the UK though, so it's weird: on our previous purchases, we were fully bound within days of the offer (as soon as the mortgage was agreed, and that took about 10 days). The feeling that we could, without massive financial disaster, just change our mind is unnerving.Mortgage started on 22.5.09 : £129,600Overpayments to date: £3000June grocery challenge: 400/6000
