sorry cannot help with deposit as we did not need one in end.
however also remember stamp duty now, on thurs we paid our solicitors fees, land registry and stamp duty all at once and it was a whopping £2676.00 :eek:

hoping our £1k deposit from this rental house will sort us out again

OMG, just got my passport letter. I have to conclude missives by 19th March - is this even possible???

Argh!!!

wow thats only 6 weeks ish? :eek:

wonder if they are changing the criteria this year and perhaps shortening the length of time you have to find a home?

concluding missives happens pretty soon after having offer accepted as far as we were led to believe
it will be tight but i hope you can do it, fingers crossed and congratulations i hope you find your home :T

Help! I've seen a property this morning that I'd like, but there are two things I'm not sure about:

There is an en-suite bathroom in the master bedroom - does anyone know if Link homes take bathrooms into account when approving properties?

It is offers in the region of £95,000 (which is the maximum I am allowed to sped, but the Home Report values it at £100,000 - will this cause a problem? Were any of your properties valued above your maximum?

Many thanks to anyone who can help
